Thermal Expansion and Heat Energy Calculations

Section 4.1-2: Thermal Properties

The change in length due to thermal expansion is calculated using the following formula:

L₂ - L₁ = αL₁(T₂ - T₁)

• α (Alpha): Coefficient of thermal expansion, measured in °C^-1 or °F^-1.
• L₁ & L₂: Initial and final lengths, measured in mm (in), corresponding to temperatures T₁ & T₂.

Heat Energy Required for Temperature Change

The amount of heat energy ($H$) required to change the temperature of a material is given by:

H = C W (T₂ - T₁)

• H: Amount of heat energy, measured in J (Btu).
• C: Specific heat of the material, measured in J/Kg°C (Btu/lb°F).
• W: Weight of the material, measured in kg (lb).
• (T₂ - T₁): Change in temperature, measured in °C (°F).

Volumetric Specific

Common Characteristics of Machines

• Involve a kind of motion.
• Involve a kind of force.
• Make a job easier to do.
• Need some kind of input to make them work.
• Produce some kind of output.

Basic Types of Motion

• Rotary: Going round and round.
• Oscillating: Swinging backwards and forwards.
• Linear: In a straight line.
• Reciprocating: Backwards and forwards in a straight line.

A machine is a device that helps make work easier to perform.

Mechanical Advantage Defined

Mechanical Advantage: When a machine takes a small input force and increases the magnitude of the output force, a mechanical advantage has been produced.

Conservation of Energy Principle

Conservation of Energy: No machine can produce more work than the amount of work that is put into the machine.

Camilo José Cela's *The Family of Pascual Duarte*: A Deep Dive

The Genesis of a Literary Masterpiece

The Family of Pascual Duarte was the first novel by Camilo José Cela, one of the most important writers of the postwar period, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. This work, along with *The Hive*, is among the best of his literary production.

A Confession from the Condemned

The work is presented as the confession of a condemned man. The offender is Pascual Duarte, a peasant who has committed several murders, including that of his own mother. He confesses his sins in an autobiography to publicly explain his conduct. He tries to justify, not only to explain, why he committed these crimes.

Pascual Duarte begins his story by explaining the... Continue reading "Camilo José Cela's The Family of Pascual Duarte: A Deep Dive" »

Concept of Active and Passive Voice

We focus the action of the verb in the subject (active voice) or object (passive).

Examples:

• Active Voice: The porter carries the bags. (The porter carries the bags.)
• Passive Voice: The bags are carried by the porter. (The bags are carried by the porter.)

Grammar Rules

The passive voice is formed using the verb to be + the main verb's past participle.

Table of Verbal Changes: Active to Passive Voice Transformation

Considering the points above, this scheme shows the changes to the tense when transforming an active sentence into a passive sentence. We use the example: to write a letter.

Verb forms for 'to write': write (present) / wrote (past) / written (past participle).

Valuation of Ways

These passages are not original; Thomas organized and developed them. There are different reactions to these routes by commentator groups:

• Radicals: Exclude the possibility of new ways.
• Moderates: Support the possibility of new tracks.
• Thomists: Divided into "hard to validate separately" (think the demonstrative value comes from the set of all the evidence) and those who "prefer any route".
• Non-Thomists: Discard anthology, return to the argument of St. Anselm.
• Kant denies the value of things and proposes a practical way to justify rational faith.
• Atheists and agnostics reject the tract differently:
  • Atheism denies the existence of God.
  • Agnosticism denies the possibility of proving the existence of God for several reasons:
    • Skepticism

The Global Village: Unity and Disparity

The world has become one big market, but this globalization has not led to the disappearance of differences between the countries of the world. Economic realities highlight stark contrasts:

• Rich countries are dominated by the consumer society and economic welfare.
• Poor countries are subject to the consequences of their poverty, including famine and disease.

Negative consequences of technology and economic globalization include people and cultures becoming less differentiated, leading to the rise of cultural hybrids.
