Minerals and their derived products are the foundation of many important industries. Mines and quarries can be found in almost every country all around the world. Mining industry products provide most of the needed energy, from electricity in homes and industries, to fuel in cars, machinery and tools Resources obtained from mines are also used as inputs for raw materials, consumer goods as well as for almost all services and processes provided by other industries, such as: manufacturing…

dioxide in the air. 2.3. Environmental reactions: Some rain is naturally acidic with PH level 5.0, but human made it worse and much higher. Normal precipitation like rain can react with chemicals or non-acidic materials in the air or soils to form natural acids. However, if this precipitation becomes too acidic, over time it can damage the trees, soil and make the lakes, rivers acidic which can kill the fish and…

Introduction: Business was started by Shell in Nigeria in 1937 as Shell darcy and was given a license of exploration .Olioberi was the first commercial oil field discovered in the Niger Delta.

The largest fossil fuel company in Nigeria is Shell Petroleum Development Company, which operates over 6000 kms. The villages’ individuals surrounding facilities of oil production occasionally drill holes into pipelines…

compression-ignition engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber. This contrasts with spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline), which use a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The diesel engines have the highest thermal efficiency in any internal or external combustion engine because of its very…

Introduction For the past three years—due to the global surplus of crude oil production resulting in lower crude prices—oil & gas industry has become a dynamic marketplace and the constant drive for survival and excellence has put the companies on toes to modify their strategies for the next round of competition. Consequently, cost optimization is the near-term strategy in the whole oil & gas industry, and Qatar Petroleum (QP) is no exception. As part of cost optimization, QP examined all the…

prevail. But we have something to say about the whens and whys of that end"(295). This is an interesting quote because while God is in charge of everything and knows everything,we as humans also have a say in the end result.

One of the basic idea's of Laurens created religion Earthseed is that man should not wait for god to help them and instead mankind…

The talk about using nuclear power as a new energy source has been a big discussion amongst many. Many shared their views on nuclear energy being our new soce of power. Negative and positive feedback from many articles, professors, funders, and ordinary people have made it hard to come to an agreement on whether or not to move forward with making nuclear power the new source of energy. Events such as the one in Fukushima and the radiation spill in Pennsylvania have caused many to fear and fight…

Weiser explains how the United Nations stated that in the future there won't be conflicts…

on of which was the creation of gas. Gas is a result of a process which extracts lubricating and fuel oil were removed from crude oil. France, Germany, and Austria, early in the nineteenth century, began developing internal combustion engines. Nicholaus August Otto, a German, created a gas-powered four stroke engine in the mid 1860’s. One of his employees later perfected an engine which could be used in automobiles. Charles and Frank Duryea built the first the gas-driven vehicle in 1893 three…

Recently, the New York Times published an article that left people both stunned and amused and unlike some of their articles it dealt with...trash. Apparently, more than one hundred and eleven million dollars have been spent and invested in the recycling industry. Now why would someone spend one hundred and eleven million dollars on the recycling industry one may ask, the answer is simple... economy benefits. Recycling can lower capital cost, make us use 80 to 90 percent less energy, lower our…
