    or kinetic energy of the particles within the tea, hence, a decrease in the movement of the particles reduces the temperature. The thermal energy in the tea is lowered via means of energy transfer through convection, conduction, radiation and evaporation. Convection is a result of convection currents which carry the dense tea down, pushing the less dense tea to the surface, where the hot substance transfers energy to the cooler air, before falling as its density…

    A tropical wave developed into Tropical Storm Nicole about 530 mi (850 km) northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, early on October 4, [29] based on an ASCAT pass revealing a well-defined surface circulation and winds of up to 50 mph (85 km/h). The NHC forecast only gradual strengthening as the storm moved slowly to the north due to weak steering currents.[112] An eye then became visible at both mid- and upper-level heights, and Nicole rapidly strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane to the south of…

    1. What is meant by the luminosity of the Sun? a. The luminosity of the Sun is the total amount of energy that is emitted by the Sun every second. (Slater) 2. What is thermonuclear fusion? Why is this fusion fundamentally unlike the burning of a log in a fireplace? a. Thermonuclear fusion is the conversion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei. b. The chemical reaction of burning a log on Earth would cause the outer electrons of the atoms involved to rearrange themselves. But, this change…

    Theoretical analysis for HPHX's performance by using dimension analysis theory. Assumptions Steady operation conditions exist. The surface temperature of the condenser section is equal to the temperature of Refrigerant R-22. Properties The exit temperature of air, and thus the mean temperature, is not known. We evaluate the air properties at the assumed mean temperature of 42OC (will be checked later) and 1 atm as following: K= 0.02722 (W/m.K)…

    At 00:00 UTC of July 1st, the thunderstorm was upgraded to a tropical depression, due to the organization of convection into a banding feature along the storm’s south side. (Brown, 2014). The depression then moved along a northwesterly route carrying with it showers and thunderstorms. The newly-designated tropical depression began to build upon itself. Wind speeds were measured at around 38 mph, and the NHC upgraded the storm from a tropical depression to a tropical storm. (Stewart, 2014). The…

    The purpose of this case is to get a better understanding of why the Miranda law should be abolished for good. We take a closer look at the flaws in the Miranda law and how it does not help our justice system. The study will examine why Americans should know their rights, show us why Miranda does not protect us, and how it allows criminals to walk free. Miranda is used to inform suspects that are taken into custody that they have rights. Due process was created by the constitution for the…

    energy was brought into existence. Thermal energy is the vibration or mater that move rapidly making the vibrations bigger and it all hotter. Thermal energy works in three ways; convection, conduction, and radiation. Convection is hot air or liquid moving to connect with a cooler body and heating it. An example of convection is the room and radiator heating process. The radiator lets out heat which rises and sucks the cool air down turning it into heat. The same happens with prevailing…

    4. Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) In principle, a temperature of 130C could be reached at any location of the planet at a sufficient depth. For instance, temperatures of this level can be found at depths between 5 and 10 km in half of the surface of USA. Based on this fact, enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) aim at utilizing the heat available at high depths by injecting a heat transfer fluid through a well. Although today few geothermal wells are deeper than 3 km given the high drilling…

    days to a few months. Sunspots are observed as dark compared to the surrounding areas because of the low temperature compared to the rest of the photosphere. The reduced temperature at the sunspots is due to high magnetic fields that counteract the convection preventing hotter material to reach the surface.\par The sunspots can be seen with the naked eye and the first records of sunspots are dated back to 800 B.C made by Chinese astronomers \cite{HSO}, while the first European records where…
