05 Jun 2024NO Is Not An Easy Answer To Hear, or Sometimes Say- Roger Daviston from The Daviston Group00:20:29

Many times we find ourselves in boundary-less cultures where relationships are difficult to form because of the lack of direction and structure. Often times, in these environments, it is difficult to say NO because of the fear of disappointment and rejection. But we need to become comfortable with saying NO, as well as accepting NO as an answer. Just because the culture lacks clear boundaries and expectations, does not mean it should be acceptable to overwork and over burden people with tasks that they, or you, are not able to manage. Not all companies have clear boundaries and employee responsibilities. If you find yourself in this scenario, it may take a little self-development and practice, but the rewards are plentiful both personally and professionally to be able to Hear and Say NO. Just make sure to have a professional explanation or ask for one......

06 May 2024A Deep Dive Into The Combustion Cycle-Rachel Kaiser00:19:55

Welcome to the world of complete combustion, where molecules mingle and react in a mesmerizing display of chemistry in action. In this episode with Rachel Kaiser, we'll take you on a journey through the magical realm of combustion.

Complete combustion occurs when a fuel (usually hydrocarbon-based) reacts with an adequate supply of oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the only products. The reaction is represented by the general equation:

Fuel+Oxygen→Carbon Dioxide+Water+EnergyFuel+Oxygen→Carbon Dioxide+Water+Energy

For example, the complete combustion of methane (CH4) can be represented by the equation:

CH4(𝑔)+2O2(𝑔)→CO2(𝑔)+2H2O(𝑔)+EnergyCH4​(g)+2O2​(g)→CO2​(g)+2H2​O(g)+Energy

In this reaction, one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water, along with releasing energy.

Complete combustion is characterized by a clean, efficient burning process that maximizes the energy released and minimizes the production of harmful by-products such as carbon monoxide (CO) and soot. Sound complicated? Hang out with Rachel and I as she breaks it down into bitesize nuggets of clarity.
