Sixty percent of Protestant pastors disagree that global warming is real and manmade, and 41 percent of them “strongly” disagree, a new survey says. The skepticism is up from an already high 48 percent of pastors in 2008 who somewhat … Continue reading →

Pfeiffer was asked by Time reporter Michael Scherer, “So will WFAA’s Brad Watson get another interview one day?” Instead of quickly taking the high road, Pfeiffer suggested that Watson may truly be out in the cold after irritating the president. … Continue reading →

In equilibrium, the temperature cannot exceed what is determined by energy balance….unless Goddard is also claiming to have circumvented conservation of energy too. As I discussed in the last thread, you can see GHG’s reducing the outgoing radiation from space. … Continue reading →

Temperature and pressure at Colorado State University – August 15-19 2010 Note how the atmospheric pressure drops as the air heats in the afternoon. This is because warm air rises, leaving a region of low pressure underneath. Sort of like … Continue reading →

Problem. Boy and girl are 10 feet apart. The boy can move towards the girl half way at a time. First movement five feet. Second movement 2.5 feet, etc. Q. Do they ever reach each other? Scientist’s answer : No … Continue reading →

PV = nRT The three variables are P, V and T. n doesn’t change. R is a constant. If gases were perfectly compressible, the volume would decrease inversely proportional to the increase in pressure. There would be no reason for … Continue reading →

It uses a compressor. The freon is compressed which causes it to heat. The excess heat is then removed through a heat exchanger. http://engineering.wikia.com/wiki/Shell_and_tube_heat_exchanger After the freon has cooled, it is expanded into an area of lower pressure – causing … Continue reading →

They don’t have spark plugs, but they do have pistons. A diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition engine and sometimes capitalized as Diesel engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to … Continue reading →
