An ABC for Baby Patriots (1899) The British Empire lasted for over 300 years and at its peak it was the largest empire that the world has ever known. It covered more than a quarter of the Earth’s total land area, and controlled more than 500 million people. The British Empire spanned the globe, and the famous phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was often used to describe its expanse around the World. The colonies and the colonized people are portrayed in a very discriminating and…

It is a dehydrogenation unit that used to convert isobutane produced from the Butamer to a new compound that is Isobutylene. One of the vital points that must be considered is the feed, which enters this unit. The feed gas must be free of impurities that damage the platinum catalyst. Producing Isobutylene is summarized in the following stages. At the beginning, the isobutane that fed to the Oleflex unit is stored in Isobutane Sphere (V3103). V3103 is a pressurized storage…

“The only language that the Japanese whaling industry understands is economics”, Paul Watson. Whaling has been around for thousands of years, starting with the Norwegians almost 4,000 years ago. Since then, it has become custom for countries to hunt vast amounts of these animals every year, resulting in many species of whale becoming endangered and a significant issue worldwide. Many organizations and countries have chosen to act upon this problem with bans and conservation strategies, but some…

The most life- changing invention differs from person to person. Some might argue the most life- changing invention is the telephone, while others might argue it is the invention of vehicles. For me, it is the invention of the light bulb. Due to the invention of the light bulb, people have access to light whenever they desire, and they have no need to rely on the sunshine. Needless to say, this invention has changed everybody’s lives and light has became known as a beacon of hope in our society…

Floods could be very catastrophic as they are known to destroy property and cause deaths. When such catastrophic things happen, people from all over the world extend their generosity to the victims. Some people may take advantage of the situation to loot or take part in price gouging. The writer uses facts, emotional appeal and logical fallacies to support his argument. He uses vivid examples to sway his readers to the winning side of his argument. When volunteers stumble across information…

5.3 Optimum parameters obtained by Desirability analysis Figure 5.17, shows the optimality graph obtained by MINITAB 17 software for Brake specific fuel consumption, Brake thermal efficiency and Unburnt hydrocarbons of COME blends. The most favoured optimal condition obtained for Brake specific fuel consumption, Brake thermal efficiency and Unburnt hydrocarbons are shown. Optimization is carried out by using Derringer’s Desirability approach of RSM. Equations to calculate desirability are shown…

The Hepburn Act: Rough Draft In the early 1900s, there were approximately 250,000 miles of railroad track. These tracks were often regulated by corporations that had no concern for the citizens that were directly affected by the railroad. Imagine taking a train to go visit your family in the next state over; this sounds completely harmless in the modern time, but in the past, the passengers had to worry about their safety and the outrageously unfair travel rates. What our country needed during…

Causes of the accident The direct and indirect causes connected to the sequence of events in the Bourbon Dolphin accident are listed below: Direct causes • External forces from weather and current; • Unfavourable heading of the vessel in relation to external forces; • Machinery black out and the consequent reduction of manoeuvrability; • Lowering the towing pin, which led to larger angle of attack; • Loading condition and vessel stability characteristics. Indirect causes • Weakness in…

Machu Picchu, the Hidden Place The city of Machu Picchu, which comes from the Quechua language, has been abandoned by the Incas of Cusco for over three-hundred years. It also stands in the Andes Mountains and lingers over the Urubamba River. It’s elevated 10,000 feet and has walls that not even a credit card can not slide through, puzzling archaeologists for many years (Schreiber 1). Machu Picchu, located in Peru, is a place filled with amazing artifacts and ruins. The buildings’ architecture…

Challenges & Impact Discontinuation of diesel In Europe, it is common to own a diesel vehicle as almost half of the total car sold in Europe were diesel vehicles. This is because the customers thinks that fuel efficiency is the biggest factor to consider when driving and the fact that the price of diesel is lower than petrol(Schipper, Marie-Lilliu et al. 2002). The corollary of better fuel efficiency is higher nitrogen oxide emissions. The fact that the popularity of diesel vehicles were…
