Pump Application: Building Water Pump

Pumps are devices used to move fluids from one point to another by creating differences in pressure between the two points. Pumps are powered by a prime mover, which can be either a diesel engine or an electric motor. The pump converts the energy supplied by the prime mover to potential energy by pressurizing the fluid it’s pumping. For example, a diesel pump has an engine that converts chemical energy in the fuel to mechanical energy in the form of torque. The torque from the engine is then picked up and transmitted to the pumping mechanism for fluid ...

Introduction

The request for ethical management in business is rising, yet the supply appears low. The rising groups of leaders are only equipped to navigate instead of providing guidance.

Ethical managers distinguish their activities by doing what is unpopular, unprofitable, and or inconvenient to realize long-term value and health.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, first published in 1818, has come to have a profound effect on literature, on science and on popular culture.

For my own part, I must confess that my interest in the book is entirely on the side of the monster. His eloquence and persuasion, of which Frankenstein complains, are so because they are truth. The justice is indisputably on his side, and his sufferings are, to me, touching to the last degree. (199) Frankenstein is full of terrible murders, and passionately-expressed emotions of enmity and hatred between Frankenstein and his creation. But who is most to blame for the series of murders which continue right to the very end of the novel when Victor dies on Robert ...
