Measuring the Viscosity of Motor Oil ME331 Laboratory Assignment #1 Prepared for: Prof. Sangeorzan Submitted by: Abstract An experiment was conducted to model the effect of temperature on the viscosity of motor oil and compare the results to commercial values established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for SAE 30‚ SAE 40 and SAE 5W30. The viscosity of the oil sample at eight temperatures between 20 °C and 55 °C was determined using a rotary Brookfield DV-II+ viscometer

ca CAPACITY AND DEMAND MANAGEMENT Capacity can be defined as ‘the maximum level of value added activity over a period of time that the service process can achieve under normal operating conditions’. (Johnston and Clark‚ 2001) The essential task of capacity management is to look at the current performance of a service identify any bottle necks‚ understand the workload places on it and the underlying business drivers that may affects future traffic. The next task is to access the workload growth

Tanya Hicks Anatomy & Physiology Respiratory Assignment. ! 1.) The control center inside of the brain is called the medulla oblongata. Our breathing is controlled by the level of carbon dioxide that we have in our blood. The pons sends out a signal from the medulla to the diaphragm to activate. The diaphragm is also sent a a signal from the phoenic nerve‚ that comes from the cervical plexus in the spinal cord. This makes the diaphragm contract and flatten and increases the space inside of the thoracic

MEASURING pH Date of Lab: 02/09/13 Date Report submitted: 02/26/13 Purpose of the experiment By doing this experiment‚ we were trying to learn how to measure a pH with a pH meter to determine whether a solution is weakly‚ moderately or strongly acidic or basic; but also to compare the different data founded to see how the addition of certain liquid to a solution may affect the pH of the initial solution. Materials We used: * Tap water‚ distilled water‚ Soda and milk as the main

Respiration. *The respiratory system consists of tubes that filter incoming air and transport it into the microscopic alveoli where gases are exchanged the entire process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body cells is called respiration and consists of the following: ventilation‚ gas exchange between blood and lungs‚ gas transport in the bloodstream‚ gas exchange between the blood and body cells‚ and cellular respiration *The organs of the respiratory tract can be divided into two
