FINDINGS

S.1.  What is the difference between obsession and love?

A.S.1. One could go back in time and look at what Jesus or Buddha or other prophets had to say about love and obsession. I think they talk a lot about love but I am not sure if the word “obsession” was used by them. According to Osho “Love is when you are not.”  I think a better comparison is between fear and love or between obsession and freedom. Where do you want to start first?  For obsession/fear, click here. For freedom/love, click here.

S.2.  An accident can cause gas leak from a pressurized gas container. How can one estimate the gas leak rate from a hole of a give size? How does the pressure in the tank change with time once the gas starts leaking? This problem has been studied by Chemical and other engineers. Is there a way to make the results interesting?

A.S.2. I have created two calculators (Interactive apps) for teachers and students of STEM. The first calculator covers the gas release rate from tanks at different conditions and for holes of different diameters for many common gases. This calculator may also have practical application in estimating accidental release rates of gases stored under pressure. The second interactive demo can be used to illustrate dynamics of isentropic gas release  from pressurized tanks. To access the gas release rate calculator CLICK HERE.

S.3 The hindi film industry has been around for a long time. Majority of the movies have been made during the past 60 years. What are the Top 24 Hindi film songs of all time?

A.S.3. I have undertaken an initiative to find out the answer. The project will last for one year. The results will be discovered by December 31, 2012. To view the research status, CLICK HERE.
