Water is denser than oil, so when water is poured onto burning oil, some of it tends to float to the bottom and the rest tends to sink. Since the temperature around the water droplets is high, they get vaporized (a change in phase from liquid to gas). This results in a substantial ...
After living in China for such a long time,one thing that I can't ignore is the bluer sky and clearer water.Green development is transforming China.China has been striving to develop new energy industries such as photovoltaics and wind energy after it announced ambitious plans to peak carbon ...
It is precisely because of the experience teaching at Peking University that gave me a deeply understanding of the huge influence a teacher has on students. For example, if the teacher has been passive and with negative energy , he or she will pass on the negativity to the students. If the...
Technically, when you bring tap water to a full rolling boil, the heat energy transfers to the water molecules that start moving more quickly. In the end, due to lots of energy, the molecules cannot stay connected as liquid any longer. So, they turn into gas molecules of water vapor, fl...
It uses sustainable, non-formaldehyde plywood from American Maple, is finished with a water-based lacquer and uses only 35 watts of energy when fully lighted. Most of the time it's dormant, using even less energy. Depending on your table-top and shipping preferences, the coffee table can ...
What’s Solar Energy? How Do Solar Panels Work? What Makes Up a Solar System? What Goes into the Cost of Solar Panels? What’s Solar Energy? Solar energy is heat and light from the sun. It’s a clean, renewable energy source that can be converted into electricity using various technolo...
There is scope for urban water management to reduce water-related energy use, particularly if strategies actively target the large amount of energy associated with water use. A 'metabolic' approach to water mass balance can be used to account for all the inputs and outputs of water flowing ...

The Mpemba effect is the name given to the assertion that it is quicker to cool water to a given temperature when the initial temperature is higher. This assertion seems counter-intuitive and yet references to the effect go back at least to the writings of Aristotle. Indeed, at first thought...
It takes quite a bit of energy to bring water to a boil. In fact, you need 1 calorie of energy to raise 1 gram (0.03 ounces) of water by 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit). In order for water to boil, its vapor pressure has to equal the pressure of the atmosphere, Giddings...
