We have explored the degree to which the qualities of brewed coffee may be affected by changing the time spent grinding beans using a blade-type grinder. We present measurements of particle size distribution, density, loss of coffee on brewing and caffeine content in brewed coffee (as measured using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) as a function of grinding time using a blade-type...

The phenomenon of super-hydrophobicity and related mechanisms are attractive not only scientifically, but also from the industrial point of view, because extreme water repellency is desired in several applications. Superhydrophobicity can potentially be exploited for example in non-wetting, non-fogging, non-icing, and self-cleaning surfaces, in droplet transportation and in nano- and...

Methane is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential that varies over the atmospheric residency time. According to the IPCC, upon release to the atmosphere and using a reference value of unity for carbon dioxide, the GWP is initially 56 over the first 20 years, 21 over 100 years and 6.5 over a 500 year timeframe. It is evident that any reduction in the atmospherically dispersed methane...

Experimental evidence suggests that the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (used for commercial and academic thermometer calibrations) deviates from thermodynamic temperature over a broad temperature range below the triple point of water. However, unexplained inconsistencies between data sets limit the usefulness of this data as a basis for a new temperature scale. In order to resolve...
