G.F. Leibniz's Theory of Monads # 2 : Similar to
Leibniz.wps, this 3 page essay looks at some of the reasons for
Leibniz's creation of a Monad theory in light of the works of
Newton & others. In the writer's opinion, the Monad theory
was used to fill some unseen "gap" created by unclear ideas
such as gravity. Leibniz2.wps The Derivative
In Average & Instantaneous Velocity :
A 5 page paper explaining both average and instantaneous
velocities. The writer demonstrates the relationship between
the derivative and these primary functions. Bibliography lists 4
sources. Velocity.wps
Position Displacement & Distance Traveled By An Object
:
A 7 page paper that provides an overview of these two
elements as they relate to velocity. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
Velocity.RTF*
General Principles of Thermodynamics : A very
thorough 15
page research paper on the principles of thermodynamics . The
writer details the nature of thermodynamics, the ideal gas and
its theoretical applications, the laws of thermodynamics,
classical thermodynamics, and practical applications.
Bibliography lists 7 sources. Thermody.wps
Engineering Thermodynamics : A 9 page overview of
engineering thermodynamics with coverage of the topics of
ideal verses actual gases, energy analysis of open and closed
systems, internal combustion engines, gas turbines,
refrigeration and air conditioning systems, fluid flow in nozzles
and turbomachinery, and heat transfer and heat exchangers.
Bibliography lists a number of sources. Entherm.wps
Refrigeration – R12 versus R134a : This 15 page report
discusses refrigeration and air conditioning and the various
aspects of it that have proven to be detrimental to the
environment, primarily leading to an even greater rate of
degradation of Earth’s ozone layer. Scientists feel this damage
has been caused in part by chloroflourcarbons, most notably
including the chemicals used in mobile air conditioning
systems. Chlorine, in its active form, released by R12
(“Freon”) gases can destroy ozone lower the total amount in the
stratosphere. To add economic insult to environmental injury,
Freon is expensive. Tetrafluoroethane (known as "R134A")
was introduced in the automotive air conditioning market and
became the most popular replacement for Freon by the major
car makers in cars and trucks built since 1994. Bibliography
lists 12 sources. BWrefrig.rtf
Fluid Dynamics / Pipe Flows : A 5 page paper discussing the
basic aspects of laminar and turbulent pipe flows as related to
fluid movement through channels. For all the diversity in
mechanical and industrial systems in operation and in design
phase today, they all have in common the incorporation of
some application of fluid dynamics within them. Liquids and
gases move according to the same fundamental principles,
differing only in movement as affected by density, viscosity
and chemical composition. The paper discusses boundary,
stationary layer, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow.
Bibliography lists 4 sources. Pipeflow.wps
Dynamics & The Field Of Engineering : A 15 page research
paper describing some of the engineering applications of the
study of dynamics. Fluid, aero-, structural and flight dynamics
are discussed in the most depth, but other disciplines are also
mentioned and includes mechanical dynamics,
thermodynamics, vehicle dynamics, physical dynamics and
Magnetohydrodynamics, along with other areas of dynamics
studies. Bibliography lists 12 sources. Dynamics.wps
Fluid Dynamics / An Overview : A 10 page overview
of
fluid dynamics. Includes a discussion on Fluid Statics
including Viscousity,Surface Tension, Vapor Pressure, and
compressibility as well as other topics which are pertinent to
fluid dynamics. Discusses the importance of fluid dynamics in
biological and mechanical systems. Bibliography lists 8
sources. Fluiddyn.wps
The History, Purpose, & Physics Of The Steam Engine :
A complete 10 page overview of the steam engine including its
function, purpose, history, and development. The writer is very
specific and cites a number of historical people involved in
working on this technology. The physics of how steam
produces work are explained as is the mechanical operation of
various types of steam engines. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
Steameng.wps
Impact Of The Steam Engine Analyzed : This 5 page
research paper examines the importance of the steam engine to
modern society. Specifically discussed is the steam engine's
cultural and social impact and how this invention led to many
other technological advances. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
