Answer to Question 1

A volatile fluid is heated and vaporized in the inner pipe. Surrounding the inner pipe is an outer tube with a hard vacuum, forming an insulating layer around the inner tube. The vapor in the inner tube transfers its heat to a heat transfer fluid which moves the heat to a heat exchanger, to heat water. As the vapor cools, it condenses back to a liquid and returns to the bottom of the heat pipe.

Answer to Question 2

The efficiency of the Stirling engine is proportional to the difference in temperature between the hot and cold reservoirs. The efficiency can be measured by measuring these temperature differences.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
