CHRISTMAS CACTUS CARE AND INFORMATION While the poinsettia remains the most popular of the holiday plants‚ a healthy Christmas cactus in full bloom is a great gift idea for that special gardener. They are easy to care for and can be grown indoors throughout the year. The flowers range in color from yellow‚ salmon‚ pink‚ fuchsia and white or combinations of those colors. • Common name ~ Christmas Cactus • Scientific name ~ Schlumbergera bridesii • Origin ~ A group of epiphytic cacti native

Effect of Temperature on Solubility of a Salt Ahmed Mohammed 17-nov-2013 Abstract In this experiment‚ you will study the effect of changing temperature on the amount of solutet will dissolve in a given amount of water. In this experiment‚ you will completely dissolve different quantities of potassium nitrate‚ KNO3‚ in the same volume of water at a high temperature. As each solution cools‚ you will monitor temperature using a computer-interfaced Temperature Probe and observe

behave like sensible heat storage (SHS) materials; their temperature rises as they absorb heat. Unlike conventional SHS‚ however‚ when PCMs reach the temperature at which they change phase (their melting temperature) they absorb large amounts of heat at an almost constant temperature. The PCM continues to absorb heat without a significant rise in temperature until all the material is transformed to the liquid phase. When the ambient temperature around a liquid material falls‚ the PCM solidifies‚ releasing

Design of sensor based fault detection system for temperature measurement using Arduino and LabVIEW Abstract This paper proposes the design of sensor based fault detection system for temperature measurement using Arduino and LabVIEW. Temperature is one of the most important industrial parameter that needs to be monitored continuously‚ any variations in the temperature from its set point causes the system to fail. The failure of any system causes many losses such as economical‚ damage to the

these collisions the speeds and the kinetic energies of the individual molecules keep on changing. However at a given temperature‚ the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules remains constant. If at a given temperature‚ n1 molecules have speed v1‚ n2 molecules have speed v2‚ n3 molecules have speed v3‚ and so on. Then‚ the total kinetic energy (EK) of the gas at this temperature is given by where m is the mass of the molecule. The corresponding average kinetic energy ( If the following

Polymer Essay: Plexiglass Many of the glass screens and windows we see today are not really made of glass. They are made of plexiglass. Plexiglass is not related to the chemical structure of glass at all. It is an organic polymer. Today this polymer is used in all sorts of applications. The formation of plexiglass was begun in 1930‚ at McGi11 University by William Chalmers‚ a research student. He polymerized methacrylic ethyl ester and methacrylic nitirile‚ creating a clear plastic paste

specific heat of a metal as well as the heat of solution of a solid. Both experiments required the use of calorimetry to measure heat flow and temperature change. The specific heat of the metal was found by heating it in boiling water before transferring it to the calorimeter that was partially filled with water. After shaking the calorimeter‚ the temperature change was measured and recorded. This information was used to calculate the specific heat. The heat of solution of a solid was found similarly

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effect that temperature has on the growth and respiration of yeast fermentation. The growth and respiration of the yeast can be determined by using a glucose/ yeast solution mixed with water in flasks set at different temperatures. Yeast in order to produce‚ has to make energy‚ to carry out all cellular functions (Spicer‚ & Holbrook‚ 2007). The concept that aerobic metabolism of all yeasts‚ is determined by the relative sizes of the
