The viscoelastic behavior of bucky paper reinforced epoxy laminar composite materials for structural application has been evaluated through Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. The effects of heating rate, sinusoidal forces on glass transition temperature Tgwere studied. In DMA LVDT controlled sinusoidal force is applied and measures the response of the input as shown in the figure 3. It measures parameters which are the signature properties of the material under supervision like storage modulus, loss…

Differences in thermoregulation patterns observed in the Monarch Butterfly, Danaus plexippus Many Lepidoptera species thermo-regulate using several patterns, physical and behavioral. These patterns are usually observed as movements from the shade and cooler areas to a place exposed to the sun as well as utilizing mechanical flight to generate heat. However, some species have intermediate behavioral patterns, often a mixture of basking and heat production, also known as endothermy (Kingsolver…

The active region displayed in Figure 1 show a larger pore and several smaller pores in G-band. Bright points and several micropores are also visible. This active region was observed from 18:08 UT to 23:38 UT. However, there are three gapes from 18:42 to 19:08 20:21 to 20:47 and 21:59 to 22:26. Figure 1 shows the first image of the time series. Figure 2 illustrates the evolution of the fine structures at the inner part of the granules (i.e. towards umbra) at the pore boundary. Several dark…

Evaporation Model, Kohler modification and Surface Phenomena The process of microdroplet evaporation is associated with the mass and heat transport through the microdroplet surface [1,2] . [2]: [ 1] Where a is the droplet radius, Pa and Pcc are the saturated vapor pressures near the droplet surface and far from the droplet respectively. Ta and Tcc are the temperatures at the microdroplet surface and the reservoir. D is the diffusion constant of vapor in the ambient gas. M and are the…

What is refraction Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another, as light travels through one medium such as air it will travel at a certain velocity but once it enters another medium such as glass it will change direction due to the increase in density of the medium which slows down the velocity of the light. The amount that the light bends as it travels through a medium depends on how drastic the difference in optical density is. For example if light were to…

(a) Langmuir isotherm model Langmuir isotherm is based on the following assumptions: (a) each surface site can be singly occupied, (b) there are no lateral interactions between adsorbed species, (c) the enthalpy of adsorption is independent of surface coverage and (d) energy of adsorption is constant. The Langmuir isotherm is 2.5…

A. WAVES Normally when energy is transferred from one place to another a disturbance is involved. Waves can travel through air, water, and solid materials. Mechanical and electromagnetic waves are the two types of waves. Medium is the material in which a wave travels. Mechanical Waves When a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate, a mechanical wave is formed. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel. There are two different types of mechanical waves: longitudinal and transverse waves.…

The Beaufort Gyre, a major anticyclonic circulation feature in the Arctic Ocean, hosts a substantial fraction of the overall Arctic freshening citep{haine2015arctic}. The large-scale gyre circulation has been directly linked to its freshwater content (FWC) via the process of Ekman pumping that converges relatively fresh surface waters and deepens the halocline citep[e.g.][]{proshutinsky2002role}. The Ekman pumping arises due to transient anticyclonic winds that cause significant gyre…

Objective: The lab we completed today was “Equilibrium of coplanar forces”. The objectives of todays lab was to study the composition and equilibrium as well as study the rectangular resolution and equilibrium of coplanar forces. Principles being examined: The main principle being examined in this experiment is the fact that several forces that line on a plane and pass through the same point can be balanced by a single force that is passing through the same point. We do this by finding the…

Ultrasonic interferometer Working principle An ultrasonic interferometer is a simple and direct device to determine the ultrasonic velocity in liquids with a high degree of accuracy. An ultrasonic interferometer is used to determine the accurate ultrasonic velocity in liquids. The principle used in the measurement of velocity is based on the accurate determination of the wavelength in the medium. The principle of ultrasonic interferometer for the measurement of velocity is determination of the…
