APPLICATION OF CHEMICAL SENSORS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING A chemical sensor is a device that transforms chemical information‚ ranging from the concentration of a specific sample component to total composition analysis‚ into an analytically useful signal. The chemical information‚ mentioned above‚ may originate from a chemical reaction of the analyte or from a physical property of the system investigated. Chemical sensors its application in various fields of engineering like civil‚ environment‚ medical

Kinetic Energy: Consider a baseball flying through the air. The ball is said to have "kinetic energy" by virtue of the fact that its in motion relative to the ground. You can see that it is has energy because it can do "work" on an object on the ground if it collides with it (either by pushing on it and/or damaging it during the collision). The formula for Kinetic energy‚ and for some of the other forms of energy described in this section will‚ is given in a later section of this primer. Potential

We can monitor the rate at which a chemical decomposes or the rate at which a chemical substance appears. In this experiment we will be measuring the rate of decomposition of hydrogen dioxide with the following reaction: 2 H202 (aq) 4 2 H20 (l) + 02 (g) We can trap the

material elements in contact. It is usually subdivided into several varieties: * Dry friction resists relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact. Dry friction is also subdivided into static friction between non-moving surfaces‚ and kinetic friction (sometimes called sliding friction or dynamic friction) between moving surfaces. * Lubricated friction or fluid friction resists relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces separated by a layer of gas or liquid. * Fluid friction

KINETIC ENERGY Objects have energy because of their motion; this energy is called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of the objects having mass m and velocity v can be calculated with the formula given below; K=1/2mv² Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity; it does not have a direction. Unlike velocity‚ acceleration‚ force‚ and momentum‚ the kinetic energy of an object is completely described by magnitude alone. Like work and potential energy‚ the standard metric unit of measurement for kinetic energy

Kinetic theory (or the kinetic or kinetic-molecular theory of gases) is the theory that HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasgases are made up of a large number of small particles (HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomatoms or HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moleculemolecules)‚ all of which are in constant‚ HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomnessrandom HYPERLINK http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_(physics)motion.

is 66 seconds. At 600C‚ the time taken for the permanganate to decolorize is 10s. The higher temperature of the reaction‚ the faster the time taken for the permanganate to decolorize. This is because the higher temperature implies higher average kinetic energy of molecules and more collisions per unit time. The rate of effective collision increases‚ the rate of reaction increases. As a result‚ the time taken for reaction decreases when temperature increasing. The graph shows that 1/T is decreasing

Enzymes have high specificity‚ generally enzymes catalyse only a single chemical reaction or a set of closely related chemical reactions. Enzymes do not affect the products of the reactions they catalyze‚ they only hastens the reaction process. Figure 1.
