Science is unpredictable
Today in lab we finally blew up our polyurea coated tubes. By blow up i mean, we ignited a combustible mixture (ethylene - oxygen) and transitioned it to a detonation inside a thick tube, so when the detonation front arrived at the boundary between the coated tube and the thick tube, the detonation was already precipitating pressures up to 10 MPa (98 atm). So i repeat, we finally blew up our...

Abstract
Mitigating Plastic Response of Thin-Walled Tubes to Detonations
Kliulai T Chow-Yee
Dr. Joseph Shepherd and Jason Damazo
Ignition of detonable gaseous mixtures in pipe systems of industries, such as nuclear power plants can cause a detonation to form. Detonation waves can cause high increases of pressure that may lead to catastrophic failure of the tubes [2]. To reduce the magnitude of the...

I think I'm homesick
The random Berkelyans are beginning to resemble the people i know back home… In just one day, i thought i saw about 3-4 of my friends from SD around Berkeley, but when i took a second look, it wasnt them. I think I’m starting to hallucinate, maybe the sleep deprivation is finally getting to me.
One more final to go!

Observation
Lately, I’ve noticed something, which i thought was quite odd. In the bathroom today, and about 2-3 days ago, while washing my hands, someone walked in, washed their hands, and then went into a stall. I was always taught to wash my hands afterwards. Interesting.
Graduate Courses
I crashed one today on Combustion and Detonations, which is the subject that I will be working on during the summer. Weee I’m so excited. This stuff is so interesting; I wish I was more knowledgeable in this area though. Hopefully, I will be by the end of summer!
History of My Watch
My mom is a big jewelry person. She loves window shopping at jewelry stores. So its not a surprise that my mom became friends with many of the employees and even owners of these shops.
So a long time ago, maybe around 12 years ago, my mom’s friend that owns a jewelry store in a plaza across from the local costco told her that she was going out of business. The lady offered my mom her merchandise...
