SATURATION LINE OF WATER/STEAM INTRODUCTION When water is heated to steam‚ they are in thermal contact‚ are said to be saturated. The water is called saturated because it cannot absorb more energy without changing into steam‚ and the steam is called saturated vapor because it cannot absorb any more energy unless temperature increase and it becomes superheated. AIM: The aim of this laboratory is to find a mathematical model for the saturation curve for water/steam. APPARATUS The apparatus

terms: points‚ lines‚ and planes. In essence‚ a point is an exact position or location on a surface. A point has no actual length or width. A line shows infinite distance and direction but absolutely no width. A line has at least two points lying on it. Euclid’s first postulate is that only one unique straight line can be drawn between any two points. Line segments are lines that have a set length and do not go on forever. Euclid’s second postulate is that a finite straight line‚ or line segment‚ can

The Divided Line Plato wrote about many things in The Republic including how we humans use knowledge and opinion by the analogy of the divided line. In the divided line there is no such thing as total ignorance. Everyone has knowledge‚ but some have more than others. The divided line is divided up into two worlds‚ the world of intellect and the world of the visible. The world of intellect is also known as the world of ideas and the invisible world. Here universal ideas are reflected. The world of

Chapter 2: Linear Functions Chapter one was a window that gave us a peek into the entire course. Our goal was to understand the basic structure of functions and function notation‚ the toolkit functions‚ domain and range‚ how to recognize and understand composition and transformations of functions and how to understand and utilize inverse functions. With these basic components in hand we will further research the specific details and intricacies of each type of function in our toolkit and use

the given sides of the right triangle that could be found in the problem. Exterior Angles and Polygon Sums was about learning the significance of out side angles that nobody ever really pays attention to. It was a reminder that if you extend the lines of the angles there are whole new sets that can also be used to make that same congruent shape. Using that information‚ we were able to make an equation that calculates the total degrees in any polygon. These outside angles had no real connection to
