Homework Statement
I am doing a chemistry extended experimental investigation on the variables affecting a Daniell Cell's voltage. I am required to understand the reasoning behind voltage increase and decrease for particular conditions. I have done extensive research, but am unable to find a...
The problem I have is just a detail I want to clarify about the voltaic cell.
A standard cell is a voltaic cell in which each half-cell contains all entities shown in the half-reaction equation at SATP conditions, with a concentration of 1.0 mol/L for the aqueous solution.
Referring...
Hi,
Im looking for a new laptop battery.
Something that's confusing me is the number of cells in a battery; what is a cell? is it a smaller battery that exists in the larger battery?
If so, are the cells connected in series whose voltage sums to the voltage of the total battery?
Or...
I'm using PV cells to energize an air core coil. Is there a method in which I can determine the maximum length of 32 gauge magnetic wire to use, so that I don't use too few windings and burn the coil out or too many windings limiting its' potential. I'll be using 2 PV cells that are each rated...
Imagine that it is possible to design cells of varying size. A cell is to be
designed with a membrane that has a stable number of open channels. To
this end, the number of channels must meet the following condition: the
standard deviation of the number of open channels shall be no more than...

batteries or fuel cells?
hydrogen costs too much to be an effective fuel alternative?
the catalyst required for the electrochemical conversion reaction is pricey platinum?
Using hydrocarbons as a source for hydrogen we have more CO2 in the atmosphere?
and require a high temperature...
Is it useful simulating a 3-D structure of a polymer solar cell?
Is there a particular internal structure for a polymer solar cell which is most efficient?
Hello,
First time post long time lurker! I've got an interesting project I am working on which involves a few MechE subjects. The overall goal (for now) is to determine the drag force of a cylindrical cone headed object in sand under various pressures. The movement of the cylinder is the tricky...
What is the approximate size of epithelia cells from the human oral cavity? And why must light intensity be low when studying them in bright field microscopy? (I know that phase contrast is better).
Sorry that subject is vague. Here's the question:
If I have N objects randomly placed into M cells (M>N), what is the probability that I will find one or more objects in anyone cell?
Here's why I'm asking, or rather, here's why I'm confused:
I have one object that has been placed at...
Doing a homework crossword and this is the last problem. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
An efficient grouping of cardiac muscle cells, eight letters long ending in M.
Any help would be much appreciated.

A Doppler blood flow unit emits ultrasound at 5.0 {\rm MHz}.
What is the frequency shift of the ultrasound reflected from blood moving in an artery at a speed of 0.20 m/s?
What equations would I use to calculate the doppler shift? It is not in my textbook...
Hello!
I performed a quick practical today using light microscopes. When looking at Epodea plant cells the chloroplasts 'retreated' to the edge of the cell; the vacuoles weren't particularly large and so didn't appear to be 'pushing' the chloroplasts an awful lot. Also, the chloroplasts at the...

Sounds good and all, but I noticed that it is blue green algae. Sounds like a major scam.

Can someone please help A.S.A.P. I have a science assignment due tomorrow and it's 11:00 and I'm getting very frustrated. I'm about to go to bed and i'll forget about it in the morning.
Ok i have 3 pictures. i tried drawing them on paint but it won't work, any ideas on how...
If eight flashlight batteries in series have an emf of about 12 V, similar to that of a car battery, could they be used to start a car with a dead battery? Why or why not?
My friend posed to me this question and then I just sort of stumbled and was dumbfounded. I answered it by saying the...
Hi, could someone care to explain two things:
1) Whats happens when the resistance load of a circuit powered by a PV cell generates a higher voltage then that produced by the PV cell (does band gap get affected).
2) Why does current drop near the Open Circuit Voltage? Surely the generation...
Could someone PLEASE explain in simple language "procedures whereby scientists modify the germ plasm of plants and animals by the use of X rays?" And, how might that effect chromosomes?
If you do not know, please advise where I can find this information. I am not a student and this is related...
Just curious as to why you don't find heat pipes or any passive cooling in larger PEM type fuel cells. I have seen them used in methanol fuel cells but not FCs for hydrogen. Is there a good reason for this? Is it because the power density of fuel cells is typically higher than that in many...
I know that smooth and cardiac muscle cells (myofibers) are connected to each other by gap junctions.
How are skeletal muscle cells connected to each other (to transmit the AP)?
Thanks, any responses appreciated
For those of you that arent very familiar with PEM fuel cells, their shortcomings basically revolve around the carbon/platinum membrane and is essentially the "heart" of the fuel cell. But why does a fuel cell need a membrane to function? If you think about it, just about all energy conversion...
How much electrical energy does it take to manufacture a solar cell?
I'm curious about the break-even time. Silicon boules are grown in an over--probably electric. More machining follows. If the frame is aluminum, it's smelted in an electric arc furnace. This is really an oversimplifed...
Hi,
I was looking around at graduate schools and was curious if anyone knew of places where they are doing research into organic electronics or organic photovoltaics?
I found a research department at MIT and Stanford, but I was looking for something perhaps one tier below that.

the language might not be too precise here, but I'm trying to get a feel for the subject
in a battery one terminal (metal) has an excess on electrons which have come from the other +ve terminal (metal), this causes a difference in potential...
Ultraviolet light can kill skin cells but infrared light only warms skin cells even though both types of lights are from the sun. Why is this, explain using the photon theory...?
I'm trying to clarify for myself the difference between a Unit Cell, a Primitive Unit Cell and a Conventional Unit Cell.
As far as I know,
Primitive Unit Cells contain only one lattice point and are the smallest possible unit cell
Unit Cells are the crystal's smallest building block, and...

There are two standard methods for the solar energy to be trapped and used domestically. One is to use solar cells, which convert the radiation energy to electrical energy. The other is to use a solar panel, which absorbs the solar radiation to heat water.

Do germ line cells accumulate DNA Damage like the rest of the body? I've heard things about them that make them seem to have very different characteristics to the rest of the body. Ie could germ line cells, or anything, contain your original DNA when you're like 50 or 100, or would the only DNA...

What does the operating temperature of a fuel cell mean? Is this the temperature the cell generates or the temperature the cell is brought to so that it can operate? I see articles that state operating temperatures for different fuel cell systems---i.e. solid oxide 600 to 1000 C, phosphoric acid...
