An international collaboration of scientists led by Omar Yaghi, a chemist with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has developed a technique they dubbed «gas adsorption crystallography» that provides a new way to study the process by which metal - organic frameworks (MOFs)-- 3D crystals with extraordinarily large internal surface areas — are able to store immense
volumes of gases such a carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane.
Not exact matches
Advances in fracking technology have allowed the industry to extract enormous
volumes of natural
gas from rock formations
such as the Marcellus Shale, which lies under southern New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.
But the images suggest that scientists will want to take advantage
of the DNB's images in multiple ways: not just to study clouds, but also to assess disasters
such as power outages (
such as before and after Superstorm Sandy last month), to study
gas flares and estimate
volumes of CO2 emissions, or to keep an eye on illegal unreported fishing (the boats emit light to draw in their stocks).
In a series
of famous experiments, Boyle used the air pump, which has been called «the cyclotron
of its age,» to test basic scientific principles
such as the relationship between a
gas's pressure and its
volume.
Indeed, to shove aside
such vast
volumes of gas, the jets have churned out as much energy as nearly a billion gamma - ray bursts — the most powerful instantaneous explosions known.
If the food is made with lower quality ingredients
such as by - products, grain fractions, and chemical preservatives, it will be less digestible and therefore excreted as waste in the form
of higher stool
volume and excess
gas.
Then large
volumes of nitrogen will be released in to atmosphere, where natrual processes
such as ligtening will convert nitrogen in to nitogen oxide
gases, an almost 200 + times more poten greenhouse
gas than CO2.
You can not make simplistic claims
such as this without fully understanding what you claim — you have failed to allow for the mass
of the
gases per equivalent
volumes!
Such a commitment imposes a limit on the
volume of greenhouse
gases that can be emitted over time, because warming is associated with increased concentrations
of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere.
Li et al., 2017 (DOI: 10.1016 / j.quascirev.2017.01.009): «Additionally, increased El Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) strength (possibly El Ni ~ no - like phases) during drying periods, increased volcanic eruptions and the resulting aerosol load during cooling periods, as well as high
volumes of greenhouse
gases such as CO2 and CH4 during the recent warming periods, may also play a role in partly affecting the climatic variability in NC, superimposing on the overall solar dominated long - term control.»
They concluded that with a bit
of help from changes in solar output and natural climatic cycles
such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the growth in the
volume of aerosols being pumped up power station chimneys was probably enough to block the warming effect
of rising greenhouse
gas emissions over the period 1998 - 2008.
By characterizing atmospheric
gas mixing ratios (
volume of gas per
volume of air) across the North Slope, scientists hope to improve the estimates
of the
volume of gases like carbon dioxide and methane being emitted from biological sources
such as Alaska's permafrost layer which stores large amounts
of carbon.
This smallness
of their size is
such that the total
volume of the individual
gas molecules added up is negligible compared to the
volume of the smallest open ball containing all the molecules.
Ideal
gas which has no mass therefore no weight under gravity because there is nothing on which gravity can pull; which has no
volume therefore does not expand or condense changing its weight under reduced and increased pressure or heat and cold and so does not become lighter or heavier than air under gravity; with no attraction therefore merely capable
of bouncing off another and not capable
of undergoing chemical changes,
such as water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere forming carbonic acid.
