It is necessary to decide the behaviour of the material by knowing the property of the materials. The structure of the material at the atomic level will guess the characteristic of the material at the atomic level. The materials fall into the category of metallic, ceramic, and polymeric. ...

INTRODUCTION:

The concept of Cottrell atmosphere is important to many aspects of material sciences and engineering. This was first proposed by Cottrell and Bilby in 1949 to explain the interaction of solute carbon atoms with defects in steel. The Cottrell atmospheres occur under the interaction between the dislocations and impurities (alloying elements) in matrix metal. These defects, like a dislocation, produce long-range elastic stress fields that distort the interstitial lattice site around the defect in the matrix. These distorted lattice sites then provide lower energy sites for the solute carbon to occupy, thus relieving some of the stress field. This raises ...

Incandescent light bulbs emit light by the heating of the filament inside the bulb. First developed by Humphrey Davy in 1802, the earliest incandescent bulbs were made from two charcoal strips with a high power battery used to pass current trough it. The flowing current lead to the production of an intense incandescent light that became the first component of the arc lamp. Future improvement was done by Warren De La Rue in 1820 utilizing the platinum coil inside an evacuated tube. This design was motivated by the high melting point of platinum that would give the lamp a better operation ...

Good and Bad Fats

Fats can be classified as saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats can be classified further as cis and trans unsaturated fats. Saturated fats are considered as bad fats. They consist of a long chained linear structure, high melting point and contain higher energy than unsaturated fats. These characteristics make them tightly bound to the body. Unsaturated cis fats have similar structures to saturated fats and are easy to deposit in the body. Unsaturated trans fats are good fats. They have a lower melting point, bent structure that allows for efficient packing, and can be broken down more easily than saturated ...

Introduction

Saponification number is defined as the number of milligrams of KOH required to saponify completely 1 gm of fat. Since fats are mixture of triglycerides, most of which are of mixed type, so saponification number is measure of average molecular weight of the fatty acids comprising the fats (i.e. the measure of the average chain length of fatty acids). Saponification number is an important constant particularly in distinguishing or identifying certain oils. Iodine number is defined as the number of grams of iodine absorbed by 100 gm of fat. Halogens, e.g. iodine or bromine are taken up by the ...

Question 1: Separation of mixtures

This is a method of separation of two immiscible solvent phases. It is the best method for the separation of a mixture of Cyclohexanone and Acetone (miscible)

Cyclohexanone is insoluble in water while Acetone is miscible with water. A mixture of the two compounds forms two distinct layers in water. Distillation cannot be used because the two compounds are highly flammable.

In this method of separation, water is added to the mixture. Acetone completely mixes with water while cyclohexanone does not. A funnel is then used to separate the two.
