The formulation and characterisation of microcapsules of Melamine-Formaldehyde (MF) Polymer shell and Tetradecane core was studied using an array of tests, including microscope observation, particle size distribution (Mastersizer 2000 test) and thermal analysis (STA and LFA test). The In-Situ Polymerisation method was used to encapsulate the core,...

This report presents the rationale and calculations behind the detailed design of a process capable of generating 5 tonnes per hour of high-grade -Cristobalite. The leached sand feed is first stuffed using just over 300 kg of CaO and Al2O3 mixture, and then transported to a cyclone preheater to be heated up to 975oC. Immediately after preheating,...

We have designed a concept airplane in order to analyze the feasibility of passenger flight can be an ecological, no-emissions, means of travelling. Using relevant facts as well as combining conventional technology with well-researched concepts we hope to achieve realistic design, as far as our knowledge in high school can reach, that can be analyz...

Our team has analyzed the possible purpose of our colony ship in the future, by thinking of plausible futuristic scenarios. We designed our project for a relevant and clear representation of the colony and the life an inhabitant would have aboard it. By combining 3D graphics with scientific concepts we hoped to create a clear depiction of all issue...
