Jet Propulsion Laboratory

A jet engine is a sort of engine that releases a quick moving jet of gas to produce thrust as per Newton's third law of motion. This expansive meaning of jet engines incorporates turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, pulse jets and pump-jets, yet in like but in common term usage, the term commonly refers to a gas turbine Brayton cycle engine, an type of engine with a revolving compressor fueled by a turbine, with the remaining energy providing thrust. In today’s modern age of aviation, jet…

Boeing is a world renown producer of jets and commercial airliners. Boeing is a corporation that also produces things for the United States Military. When Boeing was in the making, William E. Boeing there founder graduated from Yale and wanted to take some risks. He took a risk in the Northwest timber industry which that experience helped him drastically in aviation. Boeing became what it is today under his guidance and in 1934 there was a mandated dispersion of the company. Some…

Clinical laboratory professionals perform a wide range of tests to provide information for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Laboratory tests are classified into four major areas: microbiology, blood banking, clinical chemistry and hematology. Clinical laboratory professionals collect and process specimens, perform tests, analyze and interpret results, and report data. Each of these steps requires high standards of quality, accuracy and timeliness. Laboratory personnel are categorized into…

manufacturing in healthcare than a clinical laboratory. Leisurely practices are prone to poor healthcare value which drives down patient satisfaction and drives up costs, hence affecting an entities profitable margin. Laboratory experts can define two phases of value when discussing the production of laboratory testing as either value-added or non-value added. Generally, value added is only beneficial when a patient or providers recognizes laboratory revisions, that new changes transform the…

Introduction In this capstone project, we were expected to discuss a topic relevant to the laboratory in which we deemed important. In the pre-analytical steps that lead to the brainstorming and writing of this capstone project we reflected on how few in numbers or major was and how little others knew of our major. In addition to these facts, we discussed how a recent hospital neglected to include a laboratory in their initial design made us question our importance. After these discussions, we…

Introduction: The purpose of the experiment was to determine the density of powdered grape. The company Gatorade has advertised that G2 powder replenishes fluids and electrolytes in the body’s blood stream during exercise. G2 has aided in staying hydrated, “maintain normal muscle performance, heart rate and brain activity” (1). In relation, there has been a rise in sports drink purchase to improve athletic performance. The experiment examined a basic level of G2 powders composition, the…

To begin the first part of the experiment, zeolite and magnetized zeolite had to be synthesized. First, it was necessary to set up a contraption to hold a thermometer in place. This was done using a split cork and a 3 prong clam on a ring stand. 50 mL of 3.0 M NaOH was then added to a 250 mL beaker with a magnetic stir bar placed inside. After placing the solution on the stir bar, 3.7560 g of (sodium aluminate) was added to the solution. The thermometer was also added to the solution, but it…

After putting each compound into the blended meal, then it was determined whether it contains organic or inorganic in it. The bacon ranch salad reacted negatively to the solutions. While also being tested on a well-plate and hot-plate, it still remained the same color. Therefore, the blended mixture does not contain any organic substances such as protein. We began our experiment by gathering our materials and began to test the change in the blended mixture by putting a small amount in well…

Lab 4 in Chem 115 has three parts all calculating density. In part one, a 100 mL beaker, a volumetric pipet, and an analytical scale were obtained. To begin, the mass of the beaker was taken using an analytical scale. Then, 10.0 mL of an unknown liquid was transfered to the beaker using the volumetric pipet. Next, the mass of the beaker and liqiud was recorded along with the letter identifying the unknown liquid. By subtracting the mass of the 100 mL beaker from the mass of the beaker and liquid…

Prepare a chart for recording any observations as you test for the presence of cations in the solution. Set up and label 10 test tubes #1- #10 and place them in order in a test-tube rack. Wash and rinse all of glassware with distilled water. Prepare a hot-water bath in a 250 mL beaker by filling it up to 150 ml and bringing it to a boil. Obtain 2 ml of the solution you want to test and pour it into test tube 1. To test the solution for Pb2+ and Ag+ ions, add 8 drops of 6 M HCl solution to…
