3. Tank Gang: The Tank Gang is a group of fish living in a fish tank in Philip Shermanâs office. Ask your child to spruce up the scene by coloring it the way he likes. The gang is comprised of Gill, the leader, Jacques, Peach, and Gurgle, Deb, Bloat, Chuckles, Nemo and Bubbles.
Not sure how it is at other schools, but at mine, civil, mechanical, and chemical engineers all had to take thermodynamics, so it's tough to avoid. Mechanical engineers have many options when it comes to careers. Some go into aerospace, HVAC design, robotics, automotives, machines, biomechanics, etc.
Thermodynamics determines which direction is preferred; however, standard thermodynamics yields no information about the rate of the reaction. Because the tools and concepts of thermodynamics are very powerful, they were extended to allow an understanding of why reactions occur with different rates. If a maximum energy state exists intermediate between S and P, and if this state. is assumed to be in equilibrium with S and P, it is possible to apply the concepts of. thermodynamics to the reaction process. This transient high energy intermediate is usually called a transition state, and will be abbreviated X â¡ (the ââ symbol is typically used to designate the transition state). The extension of thermodynamics to consider rates of reaction is called transition state theory to emphasize the
