Residence time of the reaction mixture in microreactor The microreactor system is contentious flow reactor system in which the fractional conversion of reactants depends on residence time of reactants in the microreactor. Hence the reaction time defines the extent up to which the reaction is complete, further the size and morphology of the colloidal nano systems. The design calculations of the microreactor are as follows. The volume of the reactor is given by the equation (1) Where d is inner diameter and L is the length of the microreactor The residence time of the reactants in microreactor was given by [23] …show more content…
The size of nano particles synthesized with CTAB increases with increase in concentration of precursor from 0.002 to 0.005 molL-1of FeCl3. The increase in size of the nano particles at higher concentration was due to instability of colloidal suspension obtained with CTAB. The high number density of nano particles causes the successful inter micelle exchange of content due to less stable surfactant film of CTAB. This inter micelle exchange was responsible for agglomeration and growth of nano particles hence larger nano particles were produced at higher concentration. A considerable narrow size distribution of nano particles was obtained at 0.001 molL-1 concentration (Fig.5), while ploydispersed nano particles were produced at higher concentration. The lower concentration process indicates diffusion limited growth process of nano particles which results in mono dispersed nano particles at lower precursor concentration. Greater rate of reaction at higher concentration of FeCl3 produced large number of metal ions. Therefore the growth process at higher precursor concentration was surface controlled in which the diffusion of growth species from the bulk to the growth surface was sufficiently rapid due to greater availability of metal ions. The mono nuclear growth mechanism of larger nano particles obtained at higher concentration was also responsible for broadening of size distribution of nano particles at 0.005 molL-1 concentration. [26] The XRD analysis (Fig.6) of the colloidal iron oxide nano particles synthesized with CTAB at 0.005 molL-1concentration suggests that maghemite form of iron oxide nano particles was
V. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP & RESULTS The proposed dual T-NPC, dual PMSM topology and its modulation and control strategy are evaluated on an experimental setup as shown in Fig. 13. The experimental setup consists of two three-level T-NPC inverters feeding a dual three-phase 16 pole PMSM. The following capabilities of the proposed topology have been validated: 1) balancing DC-link voltages, 2) reduced output current distortion and 3) reducing capacitor RMS current.
Identification of bacteria within Unknown Culture #21 In this experiment, an unknown culture of two different types of bacteria was assigned to each person, a number of tests were performed to isolate and identify these bacterial cells. Based on knowledge from the previous experiments completed in lab, a basic understanding of each type of bacteria was used to create a flow chart that would aid the process of identifying the unknown bacteria within the culture. A gram stain that is performed initially will narrow down the types of tests certain bacteria will and will not respond to. In addition to the gram stain, some of the tests that were used include, a catalase test, an Eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar test, a bile esculin test, and a 6.5% sodium chloride (NaCl) test.

Introduction Paramecia is a unicellular Protista which are naturally found in aquatic habitats. It is easily cultured in the laboratory. It is oblong shaped and covered with short hairy structure called cilia. Paramecia does not pose any health or ethical concerns and the population can be maintained if there is a food source such as Enterobacter (Biological Foundation 7).
Tyler White CHEM151LL 32658 04/01/2018 Different Types Chemical Reaction Types and Equations Purpose: The purpose of this lab experiment is to examine different types of chemical reactions such as Decomposition reaction, Synthesis reactions, Combustion reactions, and different Chemical equations. The experiments were conducted online using Late Nite Labs. Materials: Because the experiments were conducted online there wasn’t any physical use of materials, only digital ones, for these labs to be performed. Only the registration for the website was needed to perform these online labs, as well as a desktop computer.
The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.
Prove if the material in cup 6 is a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal, by using its appearance, color, state of matter, luster, conductivity, malleability, and how it reacts with HCL. Before beginning to test on the substance we observed its appearance, state of matter, luster, and color. The substance was very shiny, solid and hard, as well as silver. Then we put on safety goggles to start testing.
Based off the data that was collected, it is safe to say that if the dish contained the pGLO plasmid, the E. Coli growed. If there was no pGLO in the dish, then the only way E. Coli could grow is if it did not contain ampicillin which is the antibiotic. The only way that the E. Coli could grow is if the dish contained ampicillin and arabinose. Since arabinose is essentially and key that turns on the fluorescent glowing, it is essential to have in order to make the bacteria glow. Since no pGLO was present in one dish and ampicillin was also present, the bacteria were unable to grow.
This lab’s end result was to correctly identify each unknown solution using prior knowledge of chemical properties and the results of the first experiment conducted. Unknown solution D was the only colored solution, being blue while the others were clear. This made it easy to then match D up to Copper Sulfate because of its color. As unknown A and B were added together, lots of gaseous bubbles formed and revealed the fact that that reaction was the reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Carbonate because it was the only reaction that produced a gas release. Unknown A and C produced the only yellow, brown precipitate just as the reaction between Sodium Carbonate and Silver Nitrate had previously.
ST Report In the experiment, the problem was the contaminants that were affecting the quality of the water samples. To fix this issue, three scientists had to determine the contaminants that were present in the samples. One sample was from the school sink and the second sample was from an unknown source. The scientists conducted many tests to figure out what pollutants were present in the water.
Hypothesis: Increasing substrate concentration will increase the initial reaction rate until it stops increasing and flattens out. Independent Variable: Substrate concentration Dependent Variable: The substrate itself, 1.0% Hydrogen Peroxide How Dependent Variable will be Measured: Hydrogen Peroxide will be used in every experiment, just with different test tubes. The amount of Hydrogen Peroxide in the mixing table is the amount that will be added to each test tube.
Elijah Brycth B. Jarlos IX-Argon 1. Multicellularity is a condition of an organism to have multicellular cells. An example of a organism who has multicellular cells are plants, animals, and humans. The main reason of why scientists have a hard time finding a good set of existing organisms to compare. Is neither the first set of organisms which is being compared is dying as fast as the second specimen is being examined or they just can’t find the right species.
In this three-week long experiment conducted in the Bio 13 Lab, we were able to analyze a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in our own genomic DNA and then determine our genotype at this specific SNP. In week one, we extracted genomic DNA from our cheek cells with swabs and prepared our DNA for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) that would amplify the region with the intended SNP of interest. After one week and after the PCR was run outside of the lab section, the resulting PCR product was purified and treated with restriction enzyme Ahdl in order to prepare for the final analysis of our genotypes. In the third and final week of the project, we analyzed our PCR products by means of agarose gel electrophoresis. By the conclusion of the experiment, we had completed the analysis at the SNP of interest and determined our genotypes for this SNP.
Joshua Miller 12/18/17 Fermentation Lab report Introduction The term fermentation refers to the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat (wikipedia). Sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol when fermentation happens. In this experiment we determined if yeast cells undergo fermentation when placed in a closed flask with no oxygen. Glucose and yeast are mixed together in a closed flask and allowed to incubate for about one hour.
1.The purpose of using distilled water is negative control. Explain why this is important. A negative control can be seen as the control group where no response is expected from the experiment this, is unlike the positive control. Distilled water acts as a non chemically active compound.
Abstract — This experiment was conducted to familiarize the students with the procedures regarding distillation—to be more precise, the separation of ethanol from an alcoholic beverage—using a distillation set-up consisting of boiling chips, a Bunsen burner, a condenser, a thermometer and several other materials. In the end, it was discovered that one may actually separate a homogeneous mixture, given that the components of said mixture differ in volatility and that they utilize a complete distillation set-up and follow laboratory safety rules and regulations. Keywords — Matter, homogeneous and hetereogeneous mixtures, distillation, volatility, boiling point I. INTRODUCTION There are typically two categories of matter, these are pure substances
