The Clean Air Act abbreviated as CAA and coded as 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., is a federal law of the United States that seeks to protect the environment and human health against emissions that make outdoor or ambient air unsafe. By regulating emissions from mobile sources and stationeries, the act is designed to ensure that the air we breathe is free from harm. Hence the major goal of the law’s aim is to protect both the environment and human health from possible effects that may arise due to air pollution. Despite its initial drafting in 1973, the ...

CO is a major indoor air pollutant, and is released when combustion is carried out in confined spaces such as mines ...

I. Introduction The Incredibles is a 2004 Superhero computer animation film produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film was based on comic books and spy films from the director Brad Bird’s childhood. It tells the story of a superhero family forced to hide within society and try to blend in. Led by an altruistic father, they end up in a battle with the antagonist of the story, Syndrome, who appears at first as Mr. Incredible’s number one fan. The overall theme of the movie revolves around unity and family as being the two ...

Introduction

Weighing machines have long been used for measuring weights of various objects. The basic principle behind weight measurement is balancing of force due to gravity of an object with some known standard. You could easily find weight of small objects by using standard weighing balances having pair of pans i.e. one carrying the object to be weighed and the other is used to put loads of known weights until machine is balanced. This method cannot be applied on large scales involving heavy machinery, vehicles, or even humans. Another traditional method of weighing involves balancing force of an object due ...

The influence made by emotions and senses on understanding cannot be overestimated. I have decided to investigate more into this matter because I believe that such research might enhance my knowledge of the course and improve my perception of the matter in general. I would like to get deeper into the matter since I do not feel totally confident about my grasp pf this issue. The scholars have performed various researches studying the connection between the empathy and comprehension under different angles of analysis. They study the nature of emotions and senses ( ...

Smart watches

It is evident that smart watches have revolutionized the contemporary and highly technological world tremendously. However, the current use of smartphones only offer a glimpse of what smart watches can do in the future when its application is fully embraced. Consequentially, the application of smart watches is postulated to stretch beyond its current range of use that merely involves the retrieval of data from other devices and the collection of information from both external and internal sensors. Given, smart watches are invaluable wearable gadgets when it comes to the collection of personal information including blood pressure and heart rates. ...

Introduction

At times, industries require the temperatures to be kept below the ambient for some processes to be effective. To do so, they must design ways to eliminate the excess heat generated by machines and introduce an artificial room temperature lower than the ambient. They must effectively eliminate temperatures above the ambient. A refrigerator is thus required in these operations. This refers to a device that can maintain the temperature below the ambient. The primary objective of a refrigeration process is to lower the temperature through heat removal. Since its invention, refrigeration has seen used in many industrial and household ...

Introduction

A refrigerator is an electrical device used in temperature maintenance below ambient temperatures. To achieve this function, the refrigerator should be able to create a heat sink at cold room temperatures a temperature that should be lower than the ambient temperature while at the same time also rejecting heats having higher temperatures than the ambient temperatures. To achieve this refrigerant is forced to undergo evaporation at temperatures lower than the ambient temperature(Griffiths, 1937). When the refrigerant is compressed at high pressure and condensing temperatures above the ambient temperature results in the loss of heat and condensation back to ...

The Problem

For this case study, we focus on an application of regression analysis in engineering. In this case study, we use data to build a model for predicting average electrical output, y. In this case study, we use data from a Combined Cycle Power Plant to build a model for average electrical output, y. We examine the residuals, the deviations between the predicted and the actual electrical output levels, to detect an independent variable omitted from the regression model.

A combined cycle power plant (CCPP) is composed of steam turbines (ST), gas turbines (GT), and heat recovery steam generators . In ...

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Lab Report Objectives Introduction A heat exchanger refers to a gadget that aids the transfer of heat from one fluid to another. The fluids involved can either be in direct contact or separated to avoid mixing (Ramesh & Sekulic, 2003). They are in common use in sewage treatment, natural gas processing, petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, power stations, air conditioning, refrigeration, and space heating. A perfect example of a heat exchanger is in the internal combustion engine (ICE) (Hiereth & Prenninger, 2010). In such a situation, a circulating fluid called engine cooler flows over the ...

A man calls the police and reports that his wife passed away while he was out for three hours running errands. His wife has been terminally ill and under hospice care. The police arrive to find the wife sitting in a recycling chair in front of the television. As they conduct their investigation in the home, the police discover several things that do not match the husband’s description of what happened. First of all, they determine that the wife could not have passed away while he was out running errands. There are three indicators that this statement is ...

INTRODUCTION

Pain and anxiety are a common hospital occurrence among patients. Surgeries are no exception when it comes to experiencing acute pain and anxiety in post-operation conditions. However, the absence of appropriate management techniques after such procedures exposes patients to numerous complications, including but not limited to mortality. The main of this research paper is to determine the impacts of listening to soothing and personalized music on pain and anxiety management after surgery. It proves that music has a significant value in pain and anxiety management for patients in post-surgery units.

A pressing issue of climate change triggers the search for solutions to combat it. The scientific community frightens the Humanity with the formidable challenges resulting from global warming and other aspects of climate change. Geoengineering discipline is developing in the attempt to address the problem and mitigate its impacts with the assistance of the most advanced technologies. However, the matter of geoengineering technologies employment has proven to be rather controversial, and the governments of many countries now are facing a choice whether to fund research on geoengineering or to ban it. In this paper, I will weigh pros and ...

Abstract

Games that are created for purposes other than entertainment are called serious games. The art of applying games on a day to day actions is known as gamification. The gaming elements in serious games can be utilized to simulate reality in teaching and training environments (Crookall 2010, p. 898). Deep learning is a new approach to education and disregards the traditional method where the teacher was the all-knowing authority who passed down facts to the students (Fullan and Langworthy 2014). The traditional method did not view the learning environment as a factor that could affect the learning process. Adult ...

Introduction

Quality of air is a determinant in the quality of life, indoor air is important as people spend on average 80-90% of their lives in door (WHO, 2007). Indoor air quality began a long time but only been a health concern decades ago when awareness of contaminants presented in the air. The problem begins when the construction of building are highly insulated to conserve energy, which caused a trap to air intoxicants inside the building (E. Willard, 2005). This causes the exchange of outdoor to indoor to lessen and therefore the indoor air pollution builds up.

Indoor air quality is a complex issue as ...
