What are the properties of rubber bands?
As rubber band is made up from rubber, it possess properties of rubber.
main property of rubber is "ELASTICITY" i.e. whenever you stretched rubber or rubber band it gets stretched & when you released it, it will gain it's original size & shape again.
Is there any sustainable materials that can replace plastic?
A promising polymer that could be grown sustainably and that could possibly replace typical plastic is cellulose. Cellulose is a organic polymer produced within plants and there is research in developing some stable products from this resource; however, a lot of research still needs to be done within this area.

How do you a make wood fire burn hotter?
The best way to make a fire burn hotter is to use the hottest burning logs that you can. Oak, Ash and Black Locust burn very hot. Feed them into the fire along with fast burning wood such as Maple to keep the fire raging. If you do not burn a fast burning wood with the Oak and Ash, they will burn very hot, but very slowly. The object is to make as many red hot coals from the Oak and Ash at the base of the fire as possible. That is where the heat from your fire will come from and the more coals the hotter the fire will feel. Additional information for those seeking info on other than fireplace fires It also helps to make a low side base surrounded by something and make it narrow at the top, so that all the fire is more focused in one spot. using all these ideas was what made the first copper, silver, and gold things. you may ask yourself how can you make a fire so hot that it burns metal but not whats surrounding it. rocks, carefully build rock kilns.
How does voltage and current work together to produce power?
That depends on the exact circumstances. For example, in electrical circuits, power = I2R. However, since the current, in turn, depends on the voltage and the resistance, it is better to express this as V2/R. For mechanical energy, power is basically speed times force.
What is the difference between a chemical engineer and a nuclear engineer?
The main difference is specilization. I am a chemical engineer myself, and we have the option of specializing in a wide variety of degrees, such as genetic engineering. Note that chemical engineering is a very broad field dealing with polymers, metallurgy, biology, environmental chemistry, and the list goes on. Genetic engineering, in short, is really a specialization of chemical engineering to specifically biological chemistry.
How much steam does a liter of water produce?
It depends at what temperature. If we assume that it is at its boiling point already, then you do the equation. Q=MH(f). Q= heat, m=mass, and H is the feat of fusion. For water it is 2260J/g. So do it like this. Q=1000mL * 2260J/g. You need 2260 kJ to heat 1L of water at its boiling point.
How do they make the GloFish glow I mean I know its a GM animal but what made it glow?
I got this info from "http://www.glofish.com/faq.asp#TheScienceofGloFish" Where does the fluorescent color come from?
The fluorescent color in our fish is produced by a fluorescent protein gene, which creates the beautiful fluorescence that can be seen when looking at the fish. The fluorescent protein genes occur naturally, and are derived from marine organisms. Exactly how is the fluorescent protein gene added to the fish? Every line of GloFish® fluorescent fish (i.e., GloFish® Starfire Red® Zebra, GloFish® Electric Green® Zebra, and GloFish® Sunburst Orange® Zebra) starts with a single fish. The process begins by adding a fluorescence gene to the fish before it hatches from its egg. Once the gene integrates into the genome (i.e., genetic code) of the embryo, the developing fish will be able to pass the fluorescence gene along to its offspring upon maturity. Because of this, the gene only needs to be added to one embryo; from that point forward, all subsequent fluorescent fish are the result of traditional breeding.
How can you take the energy from a camp fire and use it to cool an ice chest?

How do you calculate overall heat transfer coefficient for a shell and tube heat exchanger?
When a cold object and a hot object are in direct contact (touching) heat will be transferred through thermal conduction.
Normally, heat transfer processes are categorized as thermal conduction, radiative transfer or convection.
Heat transfer through thermal conduction is the direct transfer of kinetic energy from one molecule to the nearby molecules. Because temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy, interactions between neighboring particles exchange energy and that exchange energy gradually works it way from the higher temperature regions to the lower temperature regions. The process of the temperature becoming the same is called thermal equilibration.
Convective heat transfer occurs in fluids. If a gas, liquid, or other fluid, changes in fluid density change the buoyancy and will cause fluid to flow (a process called convection) and the heat contained in the warmer fluid is transferred to a new location by the physical movement of the fluid.
Radiative transfer occurs when a hot object radiates electromagnetic energy. While the sun is an obvious source of electromagnetic energy, it is also generated in smaller amounts by any object. The hotter objects radiate more electromagnetic energy and the cooler objects absorb it. This radiative transfer is important but not as noticeable usually as the other two. It does occur between objects whether they are in direct contact or not, but is usually so small as not to be important of the objects are touching.
Why h and he can t be liquified by linde method of liquefication?
HYDROGEN & He cant be liuefied because their atomic Masses are small .
second reason is that intramolecular forces are not present in helium and they cannot form covalentbond London forces are weak then inter molecular forces so less energy is required to overcome these forces and gas cannot be cooled.

Too many places to name, but depends on your specialization. Possible work places are: - Pharmaceuticals - Polymer processing - Gas/oil industry - Nuclear plants - Etc., etc., etc. Chemical engineering is a very broad field with several specializations fitting to many a variety of work places.
How do you conduct hydrotest on shell tube heat exchanger?
there are so many test to apply :but commonely three test.
What does free flowing mean in chemistry?
Free-flowing means that something can flow without hindrance. A example of this is a river that exists without being blocked or impeded by a dam. A dam would resist the flow of a river, causing water to remain in or accumulate in a given region, which would not be a free-flowing scenario.
Alkaline hydrolysis is the use of alkali chemical to break down complex molecules (specifically, tissues) into their basic building blocks. Tissue digestion by alkaline hydrolysis is commonly used to dispose of laboratory or veterinary carcasses. It often includes the use of temperature or high pressure, or both. If you put three cows into a tissue digester with alkali (NaOH or KOH, for example), after 20 hours or so you are left with a fluid consisting of amino acids, small peptides, sugars, nutrients, soap, and possibly some minor bone residues. Infectious disease is emiminated, and it is very likely that prions are destroyed as well. If KOH is used in digestion, then in it can be spread as a manure-like fertilizer (in some states which have approved this method). This technology has just recently become affordable, and I imagine you'll be seeing them in farms, co-ops, and meat-packing plants soon, as opposed to major-operation laboratories and veterinary hospitals. Very cool for our struggling environment! Hope this helps!

You know 0.02 BTU is needed to raise 1 cu ft of air 1 degree Fahrenheit But how long does it take?
Thanks for the answer. I need to rephrase my question. I have a source of energy, creating heat at the rate of 6000BTU/hour in a room. What to know how long does it take the room temprature changes from 86F to 96F
New Answer:
You have the heat input rate (6000 BTU/hr) and you know the size of the room. I don't know this last fact, so the answer will be "plug in your values". Also I assume heat can be distributed very quickly
Volume of Room: HxWxL
Volume of air in room = Volume of room - Volume of furniture (assume 800 ft3)
Hourly heating rate in ideal conditions =
0.02 BTU/hr x 1 ft3 = 1o F/hr
0.02 BTU/hr x 800 ft3 = (1/800)o F/hr
1 BTU/hr x 800 ft3 = (50/800)o F/hr = 0.062o F/hr
6000 BTU/hr x 800 ft3 = (6000 x 0.062)o F/hr = 372o F/hr
Assume heating rate is proportional to how long the heater is on (actually a bit off because air is cooled by walls and furniture etc.)
For a 800 ft3 room the heater would heat the room 10o F in (10/372) hrs, about (1.5 minutes. For larger or smaller rooms the time would be
(1.5 minutes) x 800/(Actual room volume) = Time to raise temperature by 10o F
--------------- Rate of temperature change is dependent on how rapidly the energy is supplies. Consder to 1 ft3 boxes of air, insulated so that no heat can enter or leave.
In the first box we introduce a small amount of gaseous explosive that will release 0.02 BTU of heat when ignited. In the second a finely divided iron powder that floats in the air and slowly rusts releasing the same amount of energy. The explosion and rusting are allowed to happen. Both boxes now contain air 1o F warmer than the initial condition. One box acheived the change almost instantaneously, the other over the course of hours or days.
In real life situations the heat is transferred through the box by convection and conduction. The rate depends on the temperature of the heater and the amount of agitation of the air.
new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, Ph.D., is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide (seven amino acids wrapped into one unit) could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin. The results of this study may help scientists develop new medications that dramatically improve the removal of excess iron in patients diagnosed with blood diseases such as B-Thalassemia (Cooley's anemia) or Sickle Cell Disease.
The study appears in this month's issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry and was conducted by Dr. Theil and her co-authors Xiaofeng S. Liu, postdoctoral fellow at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Marvin J. Miller, Ph.D. and Leslie D. Patterson, a predoctoral student, both from the University of Notre Dame. The scientists knew that the ferritin protein cage had pores that could open and close. It was also known that chelators (a method to detoxify blood) removed iron faster when the pores were open.
"We wanted to prove a hypothesis that a small protein or peptide could bind to ferritin and could be used to regulate ferritin pores," said Dr. Theil. "Our hypothesis was correct. We proved that when a binding peptide of seven amino acids, a heptapeptide, is coupled with Desferal the rate of removal of iron from ferritin is eight times faster." Desferal is currently used to detoxify the blood of patients with iron overload and is a common therapeutic remedy.
Ferritin is a protein that concentrates iron in its inner core or 'cage'. It plays a critical role in understanding iron overload, which can lead to a variety of symptoms including chronic fatigue, weakness, joint pain and arthritis. If left untreated, iron overload can lead to serious problems, including diabetes, liver and heart disease.
