The year-round greenhouse and the winter-optimized greenhouse share some similarities in design, structure, and usage. The distinctions between them are relatively subtle. It depends on the grower’s decision as to whether to change a greenhouse from a year-round one to a winter one or vice versa. Growers can make this decision based on the best annual schedule for output. The grower must realize there will be three to four seasons of activity occurring in the greenhouse. The greenhouse must be versatile

Basically in most of the extraction, one of the solvent used would be water as an aqueous solution and the other would be an organic solvent that is insoluble in water. The choice of organic solvent must be volatile so it can easily by removed by evaporation when forming crystals. The cleanest separations of organic compounds can be performed by using acid or alkaline solutions which can convert the compound to be extracted to a water-soluble and ether insoluble salt. Phenolic compounds undergo similar

Introduction Hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, is a means of natural gas extraction employed in deep natural gas well drilling. The fracturing is done from a wellbore drilled into reservoir rock formations. The rock layers are fractured when chemical-laced water and sand are blasted underground to break apart rock and release natural gas. The chemical based water is known as fracking fluid. The fracking fluid injected into the rock is typically a slurry of water, proppants, and chemical

TITLE Working functions of 360 degree air cooler 1.1 DESCRIPTION An evaporative air cooler is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water. The problem encountered in the conventional air cooler is that it fails to maintain the optimum relative humidity (RH) level of 40-60%. This makes the users feel uncomfortable. Also conventional air coolers use axial type blower which blows air only in one direction which makes the cooling rate slower. The purpose of the present project is

ibuprofen was obtained resulting in 3.54 g (17.1 mmol) Ibuprofen. Add 25 mL of acetone to the beaker and stirred for 5-10 minutes. Vacuum filtration was used to remove the acetone insoluble components. The ibuprofen was concentrated using the rotary evaporation. The mass of the crude ibuprofen was 3.54 g (17.1 mmol, 118%). Melting point was 67.2-70.2°C. For the isolation of ibuprofen, the major peaks are 3399.16 cm-1 O-H stretch, H-bonded, 2979.17 cm-1 C-H stretch, and 1700.18 cm-1 C=O stretch Formation

Criticial Thinking Questions Chapter 3 Question 3: The principle to uniformitarianism is the "past is the key to the present". This essentially means that scientist are essentially able to hypothesize about what happened in the past with the materials and processes available or seen today. One example of this is being able to determine that sandstone most likely derived from sand dunes millions of years ago. As the obvious wind patterns in both the stone and the sand are very similar.

NASA's Chandra Sees Eclipsing Planet in X-rays for First Time For the first time since exoplanets, or planets around stars other than the sun, were discovered almost 20 years ago, X-ray observations have detected an exoplanet passing in front of its parent star. An advantageous alignment of a planet and its parent star in the system HD 189733, which is 63 light-years from Earth, enabled NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency’s XMM Newton Observatory to observe a dip
