“Scientists confirmed the 10th planet” – what the fuck is wrong with these media people? Only IAU can “confirm” a planet, sort of like only Catholic officials can “confirm” a saint. As of this time, IAU has made no meeting regarding the celestial object of designation 2003 UB313′s status as a planet. AFAIK, emergency meetings aren’t called for crack-pot Astronomy instructors to get planethood for a minor planet/piece of space debris. Also, would love to slap the people who are using the name Xena without the notations of 1. it isn’t a planet yet, and 2. IAU hasn’t accepted the name.
So there, you media pigs take your flowery, over-glorified stories of major planet roster updates and shove them up your asses where your heads already reside.
Ramping
Ramping is the increase of heat inside a kiln. A Ramp Rate is the speed at which this occurs, it is messured in Degrees Farenheight per Hour.
to calculate ramp rate:
Final Temprature (or estimate) of chamber – Original Temprature of Chamber
__________________________________________
Time to Complete (in hours)
for example, the kiln completed firing yesterday at 1947°F, after 6 hours, 48 minutes. here is the calculation for ramp rate:
(1947 – 85)/6.8 hours = 273.82 °/hr.
