Introduction to Gas Turbines A turbine is any kind of spinning device that uses the action of a fluid to produce work. Typical fluids are: air‚ wind‚ water‚ steam and helium. Windmills and hydroelectric dams have used turbine action for decades to turn the core of an electrical generator to produce power for both industrial and residential consumption. Simpler turbines are much older‚ with the first known appearance dating to the time of ancient Greece. In the history of energy conversion‚ however

Alkenes from Alcohols: Analysis of a Mixture by Gas Chromatography Aim: To analyze a mixture of alkenes by gas chromatography. Introduction: In this lab‚ we specifically used elimination reaction; however we only used the E1 reaction. In the presence of strong acids‚ alcohols protonate to form a good leaving group‚ namely water. Upon loss of a proton to a good leaving group‚ an introduction of unsaturation (a double bond) can be preformed. According to Wikipedia‚ an E2 reaction is typically

Looking for a Gas Gas is everywhere. There is something called the atmosphere. That’s a big layer of gas that surrounds the Earth. Gases are random groups of atoms. In solids‚ atoms and molecules are compact and close together. Liquids have atoms that are spread out a little more. Gases are really spread out and the atoms and molecules are full of energy. They are bouncing around constantly. Gases can fill a container of any size or shape. It doesn’t even matter how big the container is. The

Gas Chromatography Purpose: The purpose of the gas chromatography lab is to find out how different substances interact with the surface of a solid. Chromatography is a separation technique that depends on the relative distribution of the components of a mixture between a mobile phase and a solid stationary phase. Chromatography measures the tendency of a substance to interact with the surface of a solid or to remain in a mobile phase. When doing a chromatography lab the mobile phase has to

Cindy Hoang-Tran Professor Ducat English 101 13 Dec 2012 Gas Fracking Natural gas is extremely useful in our lives. We need natural gases to heat our houses and use microwave ovens‚ conventional ovens and stovetops. Because the economy currently isn’t well off – and hasn’t been recently – natural gases are now in higher demand for cheaper prices. Oil and gas drilling facilities are now making it possible for natural gases to be sold at extremely cheap prices and accessible amounts through the
