What is the critical point?
A research institute in Western Suffolk County known for producing work in oncology, neurology, and genomics.
What is Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory?
Yes, you have to learn how to perform calculations with these quantities, such as pound-mass, feet, and seconds, in CME 314 and CME 322.
What are American Engineering Units (Imperial Units, etc.)?
A decay emission with a charge of +2, identical to a Helium-4 nucleus.
What is an alpha particle?
Steam power plants, internal combustion and jet engines, refrigeration cycle and vapor compression, liquefaction processes.
What is CME 314?
The lowest temperature at which a volatile substance evaporates to form an ignitable mixture with air in the presence of an igneous source and continues burning after the trigger source is removed.
What is the flash point?
A project board divided into three sections that is great for presenting research.
What is a trifold?
Yes, you have to complete one of these each time before you come to CME 310 and 320 and start experimenting.
What is a prelab quiz?
A type of pump designed to move a fluid by trapping a fixed volume and forcing it out a discharge line.
What is a positive-displacement (PD) pump?
Students conduct experiments on heat exchangers, batch unit systems and pumping liquids under high-pressure conditions.
What is CME 320?
When a kicker kicks a ball through the goalposts after a successful touchdown.
What is an extra point?
The process of joining two items, such as wires, by inserting a melted filler metal between them and allowing it to cool.
What is soldering?
Yes, you have to take either CME 480 or this class as a chemical engineer.
What is BIO 202 (Fundamentals of Biology: Molecular and Cellular Biology)?
If even one of the roots of the characteristic equation of a closed-loop system is positive or has positive real parts, the system is this.
What is unstable?
