When I peered over the edge of the Millikan Reflecting Pool‚ I had expected to be greeted with the image of a teenage girl. Instead‚ I found myself staring into a layer of stones and cement. A sign stood in place of the water‚ explaining that in light of the current drought‚ the pool had been drained so that Caltech could cut back on its water usage. Having exhausted every picture of Caltech I could get online and in viewbooks‚ I had been excited to see the beautiful Millikan Library and reflecting

Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful. Uses of water include agricultural‚ industrial‚ household‚ recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water. 97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. However‚ only three percent is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.[1] The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater‚ with only a small fraction present

Absolute entropy is entropy calculated relative to the absolute reference point determined by the third law of thermodynamics. Absolute humidity (specific humidity or humidity ratio) is the mass of water vapor present in a unit mass of dry air; that is‚ it is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air in atmospheric air. Absolute pressure is the actual pressure at a given position and it is measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e.‚ absolute zero pressure). Throughout this

miles. Ion propulsion is when electrically charged gas pushes out the ions at fast speeds. This allows the spaceship to change orbits many times. This also allows NASA’s Dawn Spacecraft to lower fuel usage. Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators are used to convert heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium into electrical energy. In The Martian‚ they had used RTGs to power the MAV far away from their habitat incase of a radioactive leakage

The skin friction and rate of heat transfer values are obtained and presented in tables. For free convectional heating and cooling of the plate‚ the Grashof number is taken as constants -5 and 5 respectively. Prandtl number is 0.71 which corresponds to air.

Electricity generation is the process of creating electricity from other forms of energy. The fundamental principles of electricity generation were discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday. His basic method is still used today: electricity is generated by the movement of a loop of wire‚ or disc of copper between the poles of a magnet.[1] For electric utilities‚ it is the first process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. The other processes

Charles Stafford‚ the associate professor of physics at the University of Arizona‚ said that the thermoelectric voltage using their design to be about 100 times larger than what others have achieved in the lab. For a very long time‚ scientists have wanted to be able to decrease the energy that is lost in the form of heat‚ but many of the previous technologies
