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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
