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 →
