The best branch for B tech is going to be what is more interesting to you. Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering seem to be in favor right now, with mechanical in the lead.

What is mean metal temperature?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is one of the conditions for pressure vessels engineering calculations according to the ASME Boilers and Pressure Vessels Code. It is calculated by getting the difference between two streams. There are other definitions for mean metal temperature, but this is the simplest.

Can piperidine derivatives be used in veterinary drugs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, piperidine derivatives can be used in veterinary drugs. Piperidine derivatives such as fipronil and flumethrin are commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat parasitic infestations in animals. These drugs are effective against fleas, ticks, and other external parasites that can affect both pets and livestock.

List three condition for complete combustion to take place?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 3 conditions for combustion are:

1. Something flammable like "fuel"

E.g: Wood, petrol, kerosene, alcohol(ethanol), methane, etc.

2. A right temperature to ignite. The fuel must be above a certain temperature, the temperature which something will ignite is the IGNITE POINT

3. It has to have fresh air: Oxygen

What is the difference between butter and magerine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  • Butter is made by taking milk, centrifuging to separate the cream, churning the cream.
  • Margarine is made by taking vegetable oil, hydrogenating it in a vessel at high pressure and temperature in a hydrogen atmosphere, adding yellow coloring and some flavorings to make it look and taste something like butter.

How do you make homemade fireworks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Homemade fireworks start with gunpowder. This is a highly dangerous practice and not suggested without proper experience and safety equipment. Gun powder is highly unstable, as are many of the other chemicals used.

Is there a demand chemical engineering in the future?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There will always be a demand for civil engineers. Every roadway, bridge, building, and traffic signal will need to be repaired or replaced at some point in the future. Also, there will be demand for the design and construction of new public works as populations grow. Designing and building these works is what civil engineers do and society needs them for this purpose now and in the future.

How much gasoline is produced from one barrel of oil?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One barrel (42 gallons) of crude oil, when refined, yields approximately 19.6 gallons of finished motor gasoline. The remainder of the barrel yields distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, and other products.

How Do you calculate the area of pipe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Start with the maximum flow speed (metres per second) for your liquid, then mutiply by the area of the pipe in square metres, the result is maximum volume flow rate in cubic metres per second.

Is PVC waterproof?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes.

PVC stands for Polyvinyl chloride. It is water resistant and so it is waterproof.

It is a synthetic resin prepared by the polymerization of vinyl chloride.

PVC is used to make water pipes, floor sheets and tiles, water proof cartons, rain coats, shower curtains, and many items that need to be protected from water and fire.

It is also flame resistant. Chlorine is released when you burn PVC, and chlorine atoms inhibit combustion.

Is chemical engineering hard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes but No at the same time.

Chemical Engineering starts of with a few basic science and engineering courses which help with your general understanding of chemistry. They follow this up with a large amount of thermodynamics, physics and mathematics. From here it moves to process'es and understanding of industrial production of chemicals and products.

In a nutshell its a intellectually stimulating course and requires significant work commitment but it isn't impossible for even a average student to pass.

If you like problem solving and like chemistry, physics or mathematics, then you should consider studying it.

Does water form an azeotrope with epichlorohydrin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A simulation in SimSci Pro/II simulator using the NTRL Liquid Activity method at 14.696 psia for 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane (epichlorohydrin) and water indicates that they do not. The T-x-y diagram and equilibrium x-y diagrams do not show an azetrope forming at any point. As a side note these two chemicals should be insoluble in one another so you would not generally expect an azeotrope to form. See the link for an image of the equilibrium graphs.

Water is heated and changed to STEAM?

Asked by Wiki User

That is called boiling.

And it is something you can see and observe, but it is something tht is chemically relted and so it is a chemical change.

What is difference between unit operation and unit process?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

process is a set of operation for example in a sugar mill the processing involve

1. bringing out juice from sugarcane.

2. heat them.

3.refine them.etc.

here process is the combination of all of the above stated tasks (1,2,3,).

on the contrary, each of the tasks of a process is operation for example the task

1,2,3, each are operation.

What are the differences between an impulse turbine and a reaction turbine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The difference between impulse and reaction turbine goes here...... 1) In case of an impulse turbine the pressure remains same in the rotor or runners, but in case of reaction turbine the pressure decreases in runners as well as stators also. 2) In case of impulse turbine the pressure drop happens only in the nozzle part by means of its kinetic energy. In case of Reaction one the stators those are fixed to the diaphragm act as a nozzle.

Why is the suction line of a pump larger than the discharge line?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is common practice to specify the pump suction line one size larger than the pump discharge line in order to increase the Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHA) to the pump. A smaller suction line the same pipe size as the discharge line would result in more pressure drop in the suction line and reduce the amount of head available to the suction side of the pump. This in turn would result in an operating point closer to cavitation of the pump.
