analyze the consumption patterns of natural gas as it relates to the supply and demand of said good. Natural gas consumption for generating power is increasing and consumption of natural gas for electric power has surpassed natural gas consumption “in the industrial sector since early 2009. The power sector added a significant amount of new natural gas fired generating capacity over the last decade, much of which was in the form of efficient combined-cycle units” (EIA.GOV, 2012, p.1). In years

July 12, 2014 Abstract Hybrid vehicles are known for having more than one battery and two engines (electric and gas) that help alternate the energy needed to run. While a majority of hybrid vehicles are designed not to burn as much fossil fuel, some hybrid vehicles may be designed to use other alternative fuels (such as hydrogen, biodiesel, flex-fuel, etc.). This

Interesting Facts About Laws of Thermodynamics • Zeroth law: Although the concept of thermodynamic equilibrium is fundamental to thermodynamics, the need to state it explicitly as a law was not widely perceived until Fowler and Planck stated it in the 1930s, long after the first, second, and third law were already widely understood and recognized. Hence it was numbered the zeroth law. The importance of the zeroth law as a foundation to the earlier laws is that it defines temperature in a non-circular

According to most modern statistics, the first world war resulted in the combined deaths of almost 10 million soldiers out of about 65 million died, most of which died during battle, unlike most previous wars during which most died of disease, and 1/3rd of those deaths were caused by an outbreak of Spanish flu, killing more people in one year than did the black plague in four. Contrastingly, the American civil war caused almost a million deaths or more than 2 percent of the entire population of the

doesn't occur naturally as a gas on the Earth - it's always combined with other elements. Water, for example, is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen (H2O). Hydrogen is also found in many organic compounds, notably thehydrocarbons that make up many of our fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, methanol, and propane. Hydrogen can be separated from hydrocarbons through the application of heat - a process known asreforming. Currently, most hydrogen is made this way from natural gas. An electrical current can

with each other. This theory was the most important discovery of its time, leading the way to what we know chemistry to be today. Dalton also is known for Law of Multiple Proportions, and Law of Partial Pressures. Chemistry was not Dalton’s first interest though; he was first interested in the weather and color blindness, after considering law and medicine (wikipedia). John Dalton was born in Eaglesfield, Cumberland, England, on September 6 1766. His family was Quaker; he was a son of a weaver

ASSIGNMENT 1 Denise Gowdy Strayer University – Lithonia, GA Campus Physical Sience - Professor Freeman July 19, 2012 Discuss how energy can be converted from one form to another, giving specific examples. Today there are many different forms of energy and they all have the ability to transform produce change and to do work. How energy is converted from to another is based on the law of conservation of energy. “The law of conservation of energy is that energy cannot be created
