Consumption

Topic B: Engineering Practice in Oil and Gas Principle 1.0 Introduction to the topic 1.1 Definition of the topic Oil and gas is an important raw material in this era. We are consuming and using hundreds of things that made up from this raw material in our daily life. The oil and gas industry is normally divided into 3 main sectors. There are upstream, midstream and downstream sectors. The upstream sector in charged of exploration and production processes, midstream sector responsible for…

Nuclear power. Worth is or not? Energy is what makes the human life function. Humanity has depended on electricity ever since “Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 1880”. Ever since then humans have been inventing and finding new ways to make life easier for themselves. The one thing that all these ideas have in common is the use of electricity. The main sores of electricity are coal and oil. Coal and oil is an ideal power sores, but the only problem is it is not renewable and one day will…

Neccesity Of Nuclear Energy In the text “Power and Energy, The Benefits of Nuclear Energy”, Bruno Comby (2008) mentions that the neccesity of nuclear energy. He says that we must use the more sustainable energy sources for our future. In his opinion, we have to utilize nuclear energy source more than the other energy sources for environment. He believes that nuclear energy is a clean, safe and dependable energy source. Nuclear power should be deployed rapidly to take the place of coal, oil and…

In the ancient times people used simple tools to operate and secure their lives, but as the world evolved they have invented improved tools to insure longer and better life. Some of these tools are electricity, water pipe systems and others concern critical issues, such as health and nuclear energy. Inventions such as the defibrillator, heart-lung machines and even robotics, as well as nuclear reactors are also known as safety-critical systems. They are increasingly computer-based systems, but…

1. Introduction It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the importance of zeolites, especially aluminum rich ones including A, X and Y types [1]. Y zeolite is widely used as catalyst or catalyst support but a proper post treatment process such as dealumination should be carried out [2, 3] to increase Si to Al molar ratio to values over 3, which is not achievable through direct synthesis [4]. Zeolite dealumination was introduced regarding instability of the framework in acidic and aqueous…

ELECTROCHEMICAL SUPERCAPACITOR – APPLICATION AND GLOBAL DEMAND ABSTRACT: The steep increase in the energy utilization leads us to search for a perfect alternative that can replace the conventional source and introduces a new-generation capacitors called supercapacitors with incredible storage capacity. Much research and investment have been carried out in this impressive technology. It is same as that of the normal capacitor the only thing is it utilizes higher surface area electrode and…

Secilia Peraza A renewable amine for photochemical reduction of CO2 Summary Photochemical reduction of CO2 to produce formic acid is high in demand for renewable energy sources that create energy to produce transportable fuel by photosynthesis Artificial photosynthesis is a step forward for chemists in the photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, an often-neglected necessary ingredient for photochemical CO2 reduction is a sacrificial electron donor, such as a tertiary amine…

In recent years, energy policy has increased as a political issue and topic in the United States. Energy shortages and rising gas prices have always been lingering issues for the U.S. and its citizens. People want change and they don’t want to be so dependent on foreign oil. In wanting fewer imports they don’t realize that means drilling our own soil, and not many places are available for such activities. This leaves places like the ANWR vulnerable to those who are looking for local petroleum.…

Thorium has long been the subject of scientific research ever since its discovery, and now it appears that this obscure element may now be the energy source which could fuel humanity for generations to come. While thorium has a complicated history, the element remains very important to humanity for many reasons. Discovered about the same time as uranium in the 19th century, thorium has been well known to the scientific community for many years (World Nuclear Association). In fact, famous…

Costs of Wind Energy in America Mr. Sindt, 6-7 B, Mrs. Crom, 1-2 A Rebecca May "The same winds blow on us all; the winds of disaster, opportunity, and change. Therefore, it is not the blowing of the wind, but the setting of our sails that determine our direction in life. (Rohn, 2016)" In terms of climate change, America needs to set its sail. As a global power, it is essential that America reduces its fossil fuel use. Why? Not only is America one of the world's highest polluters, but as a…
