  • The High Heat Capacity of Water

    Although the formula of H2O is relatively simple, this compound is still not fully understood. A large number of types and uses of water greatly expands the range of possible investigations. Water has a number of unique and animating properties, one of which is its high heat capacity. It is necessary to analyze this characteristic…

  • Studying the Venturi Effect Through Water Flow Calculation

    The Venturi effect is of particular importance in fluid dynamics, characterizing the pressure drop of a fluid as it flows through narrow spaces. The Venturi effect is named after the Italian scientist Giovanni Battista Venturi, who is also known for his work in optical physics (Gallitto et al., 2021). The Venturi effect determines the hydrodynamics…

  • Active Remediation Algorithm for Water Service in Flint

    The Active Remediation algorithm (algorithm 1 – Figure 1) aims to inspect the water service in Flint, Michigan, and identify those lead pipes that need to be replaced by copper pipes. The first step is a Statistical Model that refers to the property data input, including historical records, water test results, and materials observed. After…

  • Cooling Water System Overview

    Introduction Cooling towers are heat exchange devices that remove excess heat from different components in industries and plants by making use of the concept that water evaporation creates a cooling effect. The setup can be in form of a simple heating and air-condition system in a small structure or a complex setup on an industry.…

  • Biogeochemical Cycles: Carbon, Nitrogen, and Water

    Biogeochemical cycles are the transportations and transformations of chemicals in ecosystems (UCAR, n.d.). Some chemicals can be a part of a plant or an animal one day and then be a part of a river the next day. Biogeochemical cycles are of extreme importance for the planet, as they help to use energy and preserve…

  • Water and Its Properties

    Table of Contents Abstract Introduction Solvency Buffering properties Chemical reactivity Conclusion References Abstract Water is the most abundant liquid on the planet that makes up more than 75% of the Earth. In addition, it is the major constituents in the bodies of many organisms. It is important for life because it is a solvent, temperature…

  • Water in the Atmosphere

    Latent heat is the energy that is accumulated or released in a specific thermodynamic system as a result of a constant temperature process (Lutgens and Tarbuck 375). The aforementioned process can be observed in the course of a change of state of matter and the following release or accumulation of energy. In contrast to melting,…
