  • How do you prove an engineering formula(please read)?

    i'm a petroleum engineering student and i'm planning to work on a paper about the mathematical relationship between two properties(eg. pressure,flash point) of a certain petroleum fraction. how can i create a mathematical formula? being the flashpoint as a function of pressure?

    we had a basic statistic course. and i think that's not enough. doing my preliminary search about the topic i bumped into pearson's r coefficient. the way understand it. it shows an approximation on how the two variables are related. but not in a way where you could mathematically solve for the flash point of a certain petroleum fraction (let's say methane) given the pressure.

    am i looking at the right places? how should i do it?

  • Can my PC run this game specs?

    the game is SimCity 2013

    SimCity on PC will run on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

    Intel players will need, minimally, a 2.0 GHz Core2Duo, while our AMD players will need at least an Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+

    At least 2GB of RAM

    10 GB of hard drive space

    A DVD-ROM drive

    At least a 512 MB video card featuring either an NVIDIA 7800 or better, an AMD chipset of at least an ATI Radeon HD 2x00 or better, or Intel Series 4 integrated graphics or better.

    this is my PC:

    Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5700 @3.00Ghz 2.99Ghz

    RAM 2.00GB

    32-bit

  • Do you know any basic chemical reactions(in equation)?

    We have this homework in physical chem where we should list chemical equations then compute for its heat of formation(enthalpy). Where change in enthalpy is enthalpy of products minus enthalpy of reactants. Then we look at the tables, and solve for the it.

    Problem is i don't know any chemical equations or know where to look for. Do you know any?

    eg. HCl + NH3 =>NH4Cl

    any basic reaction you know would do. it'd really mean a lot. thanks!

  • What chemistry courses should i take to make 'blue sky'?

    Walt always tell Jessie that cooking meth is different from cooking any other food. He also corrected Victor that it is not just following a recipe. It made me curious, what chemistry courses should you take to make a scientifically acceptable batch of methamphetamine. i'm a petroleum engineering student, and courses i have took are fundamentals of chem 1 & 2, analytic chemistry, organic chemistry, and this sem i'm taking physical chemistry. still i don't have knowledge of making meth or even synthesizing phenyl acetic acid. -.-

  • Is the solution to this circuit(Millman's Theory) correct?

    https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-...

    he simplified the 2ohms and 3 ohms as parallel, but they don't have two common points.

    if it is wrong, could you please put in the right value? no solution needed if it would be too bothersome. thanks!

  • Is the world ready if petroleum reserves runs out?

    as a petroleum engineering student, our prof told that that current research says that it would last for about 80-130 more years. and that's a short span of time. thinking about it, more than 80% of all the industries rely on petroleum products, not just oils and fuels-these include plastics and other crude oil derivatives. 90+% of our transportation depend on fuels.

    can humanity shift their petroleum-dependent technology to non petroleum dependent in such a short amount of time? these includes reinventing the transport engines, factories, common materials(plastics, which computers are made of), telecommunications, power plants, and much much more? what do you think?

  • Power, voltage, temperature, electrical resistance problem?

    It is found that the power in a 2kW heating element be maintained at an initial temperature of 25deg Celsius. A voltage of 230V is required for the purpose. When the element has settled down to the steady state it is found that the voltage of 240V is necessary for the purpose. Determine the final temperature if the temperature coefficient of resistance at 25deg Celsius is 0.00054 per 1deg Celsius.

    this problem was given to us after we discussed the formula R(f)=R(o)[1+a(delta)T]. my problem with this problem is i'm really having a hard time which given is which. and, is it just a algebraic-direct substitution problem? or is there more than that meets the eye? a big big thanks in advance.

  • What's the answer to this electric resistance and temperature problem?
