The American Auto Industry Environmental Analysis The automobile is credited to great discoveries from Europe back in the 1800’s. The USA however soon took the baton and has been a major player in innovation on both production techniques and Automobiles. Henry Ford invented Techniques for mass production which improved the layout of inputs in the production process of these automobiles. This led to a game changer in car production as what followed after were improvements in a lot factors. Design…

Fish have a unique position with respect to their taxonomic and phylogenic status among vertebrates and occupy an important place in vertebrate’s genealogy. Most fish are ectothermic ("cold-blooded"), allowing their body temperatures to vary (1 – 2 ºC) as ambient temperatures change. Majority of siluroid fish are economically important for human consumption. Protein and vitamins content in fish flesh varies from high to moderate and make it as rich source of protein diet. Fishes of siluroid…

Climate Change and Global Warming Humanity Greatest Threat Climate change and global warming are real. The world’s climate is changing, and the changes will have an enormous impact on the planet’s people, ecosystems, cities, and energy use. Average global air temperatures are already 1.5 degrees higher than they were at the start of the 20th century, and have risen about 1 degree over just the last 30 years. Scientists have discover some of the causes for these drastic changes. Greenhouse…

admitted that about 11 million cars worldwide, including eight million in Europe, have the so-called "defeat device". So, what makes this all even matter? According to BBC, the engines that were being improved during the tests went on to emit nitrogen oxide pollutants up to 40 times above what is allowed in the US. ϖ Key publics: Obviously, this effects all of the people who did purchase one of…

A combustion reaction (also known as burning) is an exothermic reaction in which something reacts with oxygen. Combustion reactions are known to be one of the most common types of reactions, they don’t need a lot to happen, there only needs to be an excess amount of oxygen, and with the excess amount, the combustion is called a complete combustion reaction. But with a little amount, the reaction is called an incomplete combustion reaction. The products in a complete combustion reaction are water…

Coal and Coal Seam Production and Use in Australia. Coal and coal seam gas (CSG) are both naturally occurring resources. They are both extracted from the ground by mining. Coal is burned to produce electricity in huge power plants. CSG can be cooled to produce liquefied natural gas, or the methane gas can used to power electricity generators. The mining of coal in order to produce electricity has advantages and disadvantages, which divide the opinions of society. The same can be said for the…

Throughout the years, humanity has faced many problems and challenges. It began with the first human wanting to lift things up and to travel to other places. People started to use their mind to create things and to build machines. As life went on, they surely solved some problems, but created more complex ones! No one can deny the benefits of the new industrial and technological advances; it not only enabled us to obtain gold and other metals from deep in the ground, but also to fly high in the…

Billiton LTD, have approached filtration consulting, to design a cyclone separator system for a process involved in the production of zinc oxide particles. The clients has also asked for advice on the use of bag filters as a standalone system, or in conjunction with a cyclone separator system. The filtration system must have a collection efficiency of 95% of the zinc oxide particle from a gas flow at 1000°C and with a flow rate of 3820 (Nm^3)/hr. One of the most common particle filtration…

Mankind decides the fate of our planet, so we better choose wisely when it comes to the choices that involve the health of our planet and the creatures that lie inside of it. Building the Navajo Generating Station has been a huge step forward for civilization, but its successes have overshadowed the major problems it has created for our planet’s well-being. The environmental destruction caused by this power plant is hard to miss, between the amount of pollution it gives off, as well as the…

Lastly, Dr. Vandana Shiva uses environmental facts to support her argument on reforming globalized practices on agriculture and food. One example includes “Nitrogen fertilizers are a major cause of global warming because the nitrogen oxides emitted are 300 times more lethal in global warming than carbon dioxide” (p. 202). The fact that Nitrogen emission from fertilizers…
