Thus, in laboratory experiments, for example, theapplication of Stokes law first requires the determination of when and where terminalvelocity is achievable. During the time preceding the attainment of terminal speed,however, the nature of the drag force is not known, a priori. One needs to try other formsof damping.Quadratic damping.

Severalgrants from the US Environmental Protection Agency have supported initiatives in greenchemistry, engineering and design. These projects have the broader goal of supportingsustainability in the chemical industry.Introduction Too often the teaching of a technical subject like green engineering is limited to anindividual class experience or one dimensional laboratory or design experience.
