INTRODUCTION

The search for ancient artifacts, lost histories and the beauty and awe of the 7 Wonders of the World is something that many historians, journalists, educators and archaeologists cannot resist.

Abstract

Three tests were made on the kerosene sample: (a) determining hydrogen content by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance [NMR], (b) determination of viscosity by U-tube viscometer, and (c) flash point determination by Pensky-Marten closed-cup tester. Results suggest that the kerosene sample has 13.73% hydrogen content, 7.706 mm2/s kinematic viscosity at -20°C (extrapolated using Sutherland Viscosity Law), and 52-53°C flash point. These parameters characterized the kerosene sample as aviation fuel in terms of heating value, degree of saturation, pressure drop in fuel lines, pumping characteristics and safe handling. All parameters passed the standards derived from aviation literature. These parameters could Continue reading...

Introduction

This experiment has two aims. The first aim was to investigate the effect of the type of calorimeter on the temperature change recorded when hot and cold water is mixed. In the second aim, the experiment sought to investigate how the type of a catalyst affects the reaction. The experiment was divided into two main parts: week 1 and week 2. Week 1 was further divided into two parts: part1 and part 2. Part 1 sought to determine the calorimeter constant. On the other hand, part 2 sought to measure the heat of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The research Continue reading...

Liquid Limit:
In this lab experiement eight equipments have been used and they are Casagrande liquid limit device, Grooving tool, Moisture cans, Porcelain evaporating dish, Spatula, Oven, Balance sensitive up to 0.01 g, Plastic squeeze bottle and paper towels.
At first the weight of three moisture cans were evaluated. Then about 250 g of air-dry soil, passed though No. 40 seived, was put into an evaporating dish. Water was added from the plastic squeeze bottle and soil was mixed to form of a uniform paste. A part of paste was placed in brass cup of Continue reading...

Among migration trends the workforce migration is, probably, the most common one. And there is nothing to wonder here – everybody seeks better conditions for himself and his family to live in and better money to make, even when it means going half a world away.
