Fracking for Freedom The United states has been feeling the squeeze for natural resources and domesticated production of products over the last few years. (“Dimick”) With gas prices rising and the threat of pollution in the air the people have been looking for alternative solutions to the problems facing us today. Over the last decade or so a new trend in the way we extract our natural gases has gained popularity. Hydraulic fracturing better known now as “fracking” has become the most…
Atomic structure AC1.1 1. Produce a table showing each sub-atomic particle with their relative masses and charges (Bbc.co.uk 2015). Particle Relative Charge Relative Mass Proton +1 1 Neutron 0 1 Electron -1 2. Explain the meaning of the terms, ATOMIC NUMBER and MASS NUMBER of an atom in terms of sub atomic particles. The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom, the mass number refers to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (Bbc.co.uk 2015). 3. A…
Abstract— The present study was made to evaluate the performance of Braysson cycle. Braysson cycle is a hybrid gas turbine, combination of Brayton cycle and Ericsson cycle. The hybrid gas turbine is proposed based on the Brayton cycle at high temperature heat addition and low temperature heat rejection at Ericsson cycle. The performance was evaluated in terms of thermal efficiency, exergy losses and specific power output. Energy and exergy analysis was carried out on Braysson cycle and Brayton…
hydrocarbon chain. Single or multiple chlorine atoms are attached to the hydrocarbon chain by covalent bonds. As shown below in FIGURE 1, chlorinated solvents can be in three forms, dependent on the chemical structure: chlorinated methanes, chlorinated ethanes, and chlorinated ethenes. As the chemical structure of a chlorinated solvent becomes more complex, that compound is more persistent in the environment and thus, becomes more difficult to degrade. Perchloroethene (PCE) is among the most…
when compared to $2.5/barrel for disposal into the well (Basin oil and Gas Magazine, 2010). Several other profits run into the oil and gas industry as plastics and other petro chemicals are produced with the accessibility to natural gas. Moreover, Ethane produced from…
planet average is 16.1 hours and yet again the polar regions beat the average by 4 hours at these regions the orbit is just 12 hours the average year on Neptune take 60198 days the atmosphere of Neptune contains gas gaseous hydrogen helium methane ethane that's fine ammonia and water vapor the methane absorbs red light giving the planet it's blue color the atmospheric pressure of a liquid surface is a hundred thousand times greater than it is on Earth.Neptune has the wildest and strongest…
It has been long acknowledged that the Untied States is in need of finding a natural energy source in order to become a more sustainable country and to also become less dependent on the Middle East. Attaining natural gas and oil from shale is a game changer when it comes to energy production. However, this revolutionary approach has created environmental skepticism around how environmentally friendly and sustainable this practice actually is and the types of problems that could be associated…
deadlines for production and consumption of Ozone depleting substances such as CFCs, Halons, Methyl chloroform, HCFCs, and many more. These organic compounds, CFCs, contain carbon, chlorine, and fluorine, produced as an unstable by-product of methane and ethane. While it was revealed that these Chlorofluorocarbons are among substances which deplete the ozone layer, it was found that one of the main elements that make up CFC’s is chlorine. As their usage grew enormously over the years, it was…
from Greater Vancouver. LNG occurs when natural gas is cooled to -160C° and condensates from a gaseous state to a liquid state. Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon consisting primarily of methane, but it also contains small amounts of ethane, propane, butane and pentanes which are useless to this specific industry. Natural gas is found in deep underground rock formations or associated with other hydrocarbon reservoirs…
Europa is on of the most recognizable moons in our solar system. This moon is the sixth (6th) closest to Jupiter and the fourth (4th) smallest of the Galilean moons ("Moons of Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia," n.d.). When this moon was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, he decided to name it after Europa, meaning or daughter of the King of Tyre. Over the last forty (40) years, there have been multiple spacecraft that have raised speculation that Europa has internal convection due…
