Aluminium is a very important metal whose application and use is widespread industrially in engineering and product manufacturing. The industrial uses of Aluminium can be seen in the energy sector(electricity generation, transmission and distribution), home made utensils, cables for the oil and gas industry and several other uses as have been enumerated and explained below. 1. Aluminum is used in making cooking utensils because it is cheap, light and a good conductor of heat. The metal can be

Light is a form of energy which stimulates the sensation of vision. The sun emits a continuous stream of energy, consisting of ultra-violet, visible, and infra-red radiations, all of which enter the eye; but only the energy in the visible radiations, which is called luminous energy, stimulates the sensation of vision. In Photometry we are concerned only with the luminous energy emitted by source of light. Years ago the luminous energy per second from a candle of specified was materials and wi

After the glomerular filtrate has been formed it flows along the tubules, and eventually emerges from a collecting duct as urine. It has been found that the chemical composition of the urine is very different from that of the glomerular filtrate, and it is therefore clear that the fluid is somehow modified as it flows along the tubule. What happens to it has also been investigated by A.N. Richards. Using amphibian kidneys, he extracted small quantities of fluid, the so-called renal fluid, fr

Bluetooth enabled devices and your computer:– Bluetooth technology has come to be a very important innovation in the transfer of information and date between two or more devices. Electronic devices that are Bluetooth enabled can share data in a wireless manner at great speeds even across several meters in distance between these devices. There are several electronic gadgets that use Bluetooth technology and these devices include smart TV sets, Home theaters, smartphones, computer sets, medical

Esters such as ethyl ethanoate are compounds that are formed when an alkanol reacts with carboxylic acids in a process known as esterification. Water is also produced as a bi-product. This process is very slow are reversible at room temperature. It is catalyzed by a high concentration of hydrogen ions. Methyl ethanoate and ethyl ethanoate are two examples of esters. Esters are the main constituents of most naturally occurring fats and oil. Many of these esters have pleasant smells and are lar

The Collision Theory assumes that there must be collision between reactant particles for a chemical reaction to occur. Although there are many such collisions, only a small fraction of them result in a reaction; these are called effective collisions.There are several factors that affects the rate of reaction in a chemical system, however, we first examine the role of activation energy in chemical reactions In a reaction system, particles move about at different speeds as they process differe

Total Commander has been the favorite file manager of many users for decades. It’s no surprise that it has been the inspiration for many clones. muCommander is one of these, and happens to be an open source alternative. The program is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Here’s a comparison of the interfaces of Total Commander and muCommander. The latter’s GUI is perhaps a bit easier on the eyes, that’s probably due to the theme and the icons on the toolbar. But it’s the fea

Hydrogen peroxide is one of the hydrides formed by the combination of hydrogen with oxygen. The other hydride is water. Hydrogen peroxide was first prepared by Thenard by the action of dilute tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid on barium peroxide. He found out that H2O2 contained more oxygen molecule than water, H2O and this discovery prompted him to call it oxygenated water. This liquid occurs in trace amounts in nature. It occurs in dews and in air. It also occurs in water that has been exposed to b

Calcium tetraoxosulphate(VI) , CaSO4, also known as calcium sulphate, occurs naturally as anhydrite, CaSO4, and gypsum, CaSO4.2H2O. This compound may be prepared by the addition of a soluble calcium salt such as calcium chloride to a sodium tetraoxosulphate(VI) solution. The calcium tetraoxosulphate(IV) formed is only slightly soluble and comes out of solution as white precipitate. Calcium tetraoxosulphate(VI) is responsible for the permanent hardness of water. Anhydrous calcium tetraoxosulph

Milk is produced by the mammary glands in female mammals. They use milk to nourish their young children just after birth. Humans also consume milk or its by products like butter and cheese which are good sources of essential nutrients and vitamins. Cow milk is considered one of the best milks and is the most widely consumed milk in the world. Indians have been consuming cow milk for the last 5000 years. Milk produced by domesticated sheep, goat, buffalo, camel is also consumed in differ

For the first time ever, a spacecraft has flown through the Sun’s outer atmosphere. The Parker Solar Probe passed through the out portion of the Sun’s corona in April of 2021, passing directly through streamers of solar plasma.
And by the way …. there’s video of what the spacecraft “saw.”
This movie shows data from the spacecraft’s WISPR (Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar PRobe) instrument, during another pass in August 2021. Not only are the solar particles and dust visi
