Fracking fluid is a mix of water, chemicals, and solid particles used to penetrate and fracture underground rock. The EPA has identified over a thousand chemicals that have been used in fracking fluid and many are considered harmful to human health. Other ingredients are considered trade secrets....
If the dishwasher has stubborn mold or mildew, run a cycle with a cup of bleach in the top rack. But do not do this if your dishwasher has a stainless steel interior or stainless steel parts. Bleach damages stainless steel surfaces. ...
the air around that land mass absorbs some of that heat. At a certain temperature, that hotter air begins to rise very quickly because a given volume of hot air is lighter than an equal volume of cooler air. Faster-moving (hotter) air particles exert more pressure than slower-moving partic...
The cooking surfaces really do heat up quickly–I almost botched one of the first pots of rice I cooked when I didn’t realize the water was already boiling. If you cook pasta with any regularity, an induction cooktop is your new friend. Induction surfaces are also responsive in a way no...
New engine designs are trying to find ways to accelerate ions or atomic particles to extremely high speeds to create thrust more efficiently. NASA's Deep Space-1 spacecraft was the first to use ion engines for propulsion [source: SPACE.com]. See this page for additional discussion of plasma...
You can do this very easily by heating the air. The air particles absorb the heat energy and become more excited. This makes them move faster, which means they collide with a surface more often, and with greater force. For this reason, hot air exerts greater air pressure per particle ...
In terms of pricing, the proportion of green consumers in the market and their preference for brown products (within a certain range) do not affect the retailer’s pricing strategy in the agent selling model. However, in the direct selling model, more green consumers or a smaller difference ...
identified that older adults do not necessarily perceive themselves to be suffering a greater risk of health impacts. However, they bear a disproportionate burden of health impacts due to climate stressors [18]. Likewise, we found that older adults tended to face greater health risks from heat ...
Before moving into a new home, be sure to completely clean the inside of the refrigerator and the stove. Many stoves come with self-cleaning modes, but this is a long process that can smoke up the house. If possible do this before moving day. Pull the stove and refrigerator away from ...
How do intermolecular forces and kinetic energy interact to determine at what point a liquid will boil?Intermolecular Forces:Intermolecular forces are attractions between neighboring molecules that help determine the melting and boiling points of substances. The three inter...
