Dierks is a scientist who is currently focusing on developing a ceramic that holds heat well. He is trying to develop the ceramic to make a higher-temperature curling iron. The application of solid-state physics Dierks is most likely involved in is .

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied.

Ammonia enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at a pressure of 10 bar and a temperature of 18oc and exits at 6.0 bar. the refrigerant undergoes a throttling process. determine the temperature, in oc, and the quality of the refrigerant at the exit of the expansion valve.
