The dinosaur exhibit at the museum

The Las Vegas Natural History Museum is a private, nonprofit natural history museum that is located in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.[1][2] The exhibits focus on various subjects, from dinosaurs, marine life, and mammals both exotic and native, as well as an Egyptian exhibit that opened in February 2010, focusing on the life of Tutankhamen.[3]

The Museum opened on July 16, 1991, and is located on Las Vegas Boulevard across from the City of Las Vegas' Department of Human Resources, as part of the downtown area known as the Cultural Corridor. It is approximately one mile north of the Fremont Street Experience.

Friction loss

Loss of fluid or energy or money through friction The term friction loss (or frictional loss) has a number of different meanings, depending on its context. In fluid flow it is the head loss that occurs in a containment such as a pipe or duct due to the effect of the fluid's viscosity near the surface of the containment.[1] In mechanical systems such as internal combustion engines, the term refers to the power lost in overcoming the friction between two moving surfaces.

Aluminium–scandium alloys

Aluminium–scandium alloys (AlSc) are aluminum alloys that consist largely of aluminium (Al) and traces of scandium (Sc) as the main alloying elements. In principle, aluminium alloys strengthened with additions of scandium are very similar to traditional nickel-base superalloys in that both are strengthened by coherent, coarsening resistant precipitates with an ordered L12 structure. But Al–Sc alloys contain a much lower volume fraction of precipitates, and the inter-precipitate distance ...
