Like all other systems, fluids that travel within closed systems abide by all of the laws of physics. This claim can be validated via mathematical derivations that begin with Pascal’s principle. In short, Pascal’s principle states that a change in pressure within a fluid is equally distributed throughout a system provided that the fluid isContinue reading “FLUIDS: Pascal’s Principle, Conservation of Mass, and Conservation of Energy”

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: A Conceptual Analysis of Thevenin’s Theorem
A physical system would be meaningless without an observer. Conclusions about electrical systems are oftentimes made from the vantage point of the source ( Vs ), but this need not be the case. If a portion of a circuit is “ opened “, an observer can view the source and other components from the newlyContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: A Conceptual Analysis of Thevenin’s Theorem“
STOICHIOMETRY: Balancing Chemical Reactions
Stoichiometry is founded upon the law of the conservation of mass. A chemical reaction’s ( RXN ) reactants and products must be balanced in such a way that a rearrangement of atoms ( or molecules ) occurs, but the total mass of atoms involved in the RXN is conserved. Let’s begin with an examination ofContinue reading “STOICHIOMETRY: Balancing Chemical Reactions”
