Participant S59obtained the same expression that participants S02 and S24 obtained for y(t), but his writtensolution was more elaborate and indicative of the reasoning underlying his response.

The poolboiling characteristics are highly dependent upon the water volumetric concentration which canrandomly follow two different types of curves when the water concentrations are in the range of5.3 Vol. % to 7.8 Vol. %. This could be attributed to the dynamics and microstructure of thenanoemulsion fluids, however, more study is needed to further clarify the mechanism behindMeanwhile, the addition of phase changeable water nanodroplets can also greatly enhance theeffective heat capacity of the nanoemulsion fluids by upto 70%.

Stability or lack of stabilityof a control system can theoretically be determined by solving the control system differentialequation(s). The differential equation(s) can be solved numerically. A numerical solution of adifferential equation produces numbers that can be plotted but not an expression. The differentialequations can also be solved by classical differential equation techniques. The classicaldifferential equation solution techniques can be supplemented by using Laplace Transform andusing the MATLAB software to expedite the Laplace Transform formulations. Damping level(s)in a vibrating system greatly influence the stability level

Studentsreceiving an “A” for exam scores in the 30’s were unlikely to feel proud of their accomplishment andwere highly unlikely to feel that they had learned what the instructor expected. These same students,however, did feel proud when an “A” was based upon an exam score in the 80’s.

Thechange in time period for trials 10-12 is due to the number of waves present when graphed whichmakes differentiating between the calculated and recorded waves very difficult. A time interval of0.0305 seconds is used to obtain all data points. This step is done to match the values generated tothe values collected with the polling rate of the Arduino sensor (19200 baud or 45 points/s Twelveindividual data sets (path trials) are
