For example, 87 for Regular or 92 for Premium are these numbers you see at a gas station.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Octane is C8H18, a hydrocarbon<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Higher octane fuels are less likely to auto-ignite.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Knock causes the loss of power as well<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Practical advice: Don\u2019t buy a higher octane fuel if you have a car that does not specifically need it. Only a high compression ratio vehicle needs them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diesel engines have a higher compression ratio, and don\u2019t pre-mix the fuel, meaning they are generally better and don\u2019t knock.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diffusion means collision of molecules, from high to low concentrations.

Materials decay in a certain type of way based on the elemental composition<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iron needs oxygen and water to rust, because it&#8217;s an electrochemical reaction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WD-40 stands for Water Displacement Formula 40. It keeps water away.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WD-40 is an oily compound that can also help reduce friction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lard is environmentally safe and can substitute for WD-40<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We could paint parts, trying chroming, to prevent rust from occurring<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is actually good that chrome oxidizes, as opposed to iron.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The foam in the motorcycle seat was still squishy, but had air cavities. The leather was in good shape. This surprised Professor Littman, as leather usually becomes brittle as it corrodes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All materials corrode and eventually need to be replaced.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For bridges, the tension of the supporting cables is greatest at the top of the tower, but the cables are most likely to break at the bottom, where there is the least tension.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Powder coating tends to be better than painting for corrosion control.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In general, things break at sharp corners.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To choose materials for a project, consider what properties you want. We use glass for windows because it is transparent, even though it is fragile.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carbon and Nitrogen atoms resist the change in shape in Iron, making it harder through solid solution hardening<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Steel is an alloy of iron + carbon. More carbon leads to a harder, brittle, and less ductile material. Steel is tough. It takes a lot of effort to deform it, but it can be deformed a lot before it breaks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You want a material for cars or motorcycles to absorb energy so you don\u2019t have to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tough materials can absorb a lot of energy, toughness is the technical term<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bolts can be made harder so they can withstand shear force<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Powder coating needs an electrical field so the field can attract the powder towards the material.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grease is effective at preventing rusting by being oily. Oil and water don&#8217;t mix.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to materials, there is a certain probability that the estimate could be wrong.
