Methanol- Yes or No? Do you agree on building the world’s largest methanol plant in Tacoma‚ WA? Many people disagree‚ because the negative impacts far outweigh the positive ones. One negative impact is the plant would take up too much resource. In addition to that‚ the methanol plant will also change the environment. Here is how the two negative points can affect the world today. The first negative impact is the methanol plant will take a lot of resources. One detail to support the claim in “Redline

Intrinsic Viscosity Introduction One of the most precise measurements in polymer science is also the simplest and cheapest. Intrinsic viscosity‚ which is measured from the flow time of a solution through a simple glass capillary‚ has considerable historical importance for establishing the very existence of polymer molecules. It also provides considerable physical insight. In this lab‚ each group will study the intrinsic viscosity of hydroxypropylcellulose‚ a common polymer derived from cellulose--hopefully

and incompressible flow is used. However in the real case‚ the viscosity cannot be neglect and the density of the flow is not always constant. Thus Bernoulli’s equation is not always correct. For the lab‚ it is reasonable to assume the flow is inviscid and incompressible. Firstly‚ the pitot was placed at the center of the flow. The skin friction (effect of viscosity) is inversely proportional to distance. Therefore the effect of viscosity can be neglected in the pitot. Secondly‚ the speed of the flow

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

Methanol(CH₃OH) is a simple compound which is also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol.Methanol is colourless‚flammable and most importantly very toxic.They are naturally produced from volcanic gases‚vegetation and microbes.They can also be produced in the industry by synthesizing gas.The largest and the most important use of methanol is as a feedstock in the plastic industry.They are used to make methanal and hence variety of plastics‚based on reactions with phenol‚carbamide(urea) and melamine

Experiment 1: Viscosity of Liquids Victoria Kulczak Lab Partners: Laina Maines & Heidi Osterman Date of Lab: 2/21/11 Due Date: 2/28/11 Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to determine the viscosity of given liquids. Two different methods were employed‚ the first measures time of flow of several methanol-water solutions‚ from point A to point B. The second method involves dropping a foreign object‚ in this case a sphere‚ into a cylinder of glycerol and measuring the time it takes for it to
