    Design an Eco-Friendly Plastic Photodegrador

    i was thinking of a good thesis topic involving enviro-friendly touch and i came up with this: plastic photodegrador! the concept was from the idea that plastic degrades easily in the ocean, so i am planning to design an equipment that will make plastics degrade fast. the design is somehow like...

    Estimate heat transfer coefficient

    i prepared a setup wherein i heat a nichrome wire with 3 volts battery, measure its power, the temperature of the nichrome and the temperature of air.. by using the formula ΔT=PRsurf where ΔT=Tnichrome - Tair P=VI Rsurf=1/hA, R is, basically, the thermal resistance to heat...

    If time is removed from the equation Q=VxIxt, will it still be valid

    if time is removed from the equation Q=VxIxt, will it still be valid to be an equation of energy? i need that equation to estimate the heat transfer coefficient of a nichrome wire heated using direct current,but putting time to the equation makes everything complicated.. (i'd read someone's...

    Heating 800 watts nichrome wire with a battery.

    thanks for the replies.. @Integral- i bought the nichrome wire with its wattage already set.. @sophiecentaur- i can't find a 24W nichrome wire.. suppose i cut the 800W nichrome wire, will that reduce the wattage?..

    Heating 800 watts nichrome wire with a battery.

    i just want to heat the nichrome wire using direct current to compute the temperature it can produce and not to heat something.. my problem is a safe setup of heating the 800watts nihrome wire using DC..

    Heating 800 watts nichrome wire with a battery.

    hi guys.. I'm new here and this is my first post.. my friends told me that the title of this post is impossible and i need a car battery to heat the 800W nichrome wire, and i believe them.. they also said that AC will solve the problem.. but i need to use DC so i came up with using diodes.. the...
