1: Unit Conversions
Since the dawn of thinking, mankind has been measuring things. If humans are going to tell each other about all the great counting and measuring they have been doing, they need to put it in terms that others can understand. In Neutrium's first episode, Trevor and Matthew discuss unit conversions.

Transcript
Hello and welcome to the second episode of the Nutrient Podcast. I'm Trevor Walker and I'm Matthew Campbell and today we're going to discuss the Joule-Thompson effect and its unwanted side effect, hydrate formation. Okay, so the Joule-Thompson effect, which is also known as the Joule-Kelvin effect or really any combination of the names Joule, Kelvin and Thompson, is the process by which a gas experiences temperature change as it is rapidly reduced in pressure or as we
