Essays on Liters

In my opinion, the most important problem of today is the lack of fresh water. Global freshwater resources are threatened because the need for it has been increased in the variety of areas. More and more people need more water (demographic reasons). Thus climate change is likely to contribute to the occurrence of droughts (climate cause). Fresh water is 3% of the total water volume. Approximately 75% of the world's fresh water is contained in glaciers and icebergs; almost all of the remaining water is mainly located in underground aquifers (Rinkesh). Only 1% of water supplies is readily accessible ...

Study Statement

According to WHO, the Americans are not the most drinking nation in the world with 9.43 liters of pure alcohol per person per year. However, this is a third higher than the world average (6.1 liters) and is far beyond the threshold (7 liters), after which scholars observe degradation and degeneration of the nation. According to the most recent data of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the US financial losses from the abuse of alcoholic beverages by citizens of the country make up 223.5 billion dollars a year. In addition, there are two tendencies in the United ...

Introduction

Contemporary business, political and social environments have changed under the influence of globalization, consequent internationalization of business portfolios, size and scale of the activities and even the tremendously increased international mobility of individuals. It is difficult to argue that the future of the Oil and Gas industry have changed with the growing influence of OPEC, economic growth, observed in non-OECD countries and climate change policies and legislation around the globe (Martin, 1995). The access to the new fossil reserves and the changes in the distribution of these resources also have had a significant impact on the ways the future ...

Fuel Cell Technologies in Passenger Cars

Fuel Cell Technology The last decade is characterized by the rapid development of research activity in the field of fuel cells, thus, creating the conditions for their uptake in electric systems. The basic fuel cells’ operating principle has been known for 150 years. However, a variety of technical and financial problems had kept them on the margins of technological applications (Brandon & Hart, 1999). The basic difference between a fuel cell and batteries is that while batteries store energy, fuel cells directly convert a fuel’s chemical energy into electricity by an electrochemical reaction (i.e. Without requiring combustion or movement ...

RE: Project Suitability Report on the Proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Pipeline Project Dear Right Honorable Prime Minister, It is with great pleasure and honor that I submit this report on the suitability of the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline project. The Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline project proposal by Kinder Morgan aims at increasing the current capacity of the existing Trans Mountain oil pipeline. Currently, the existing infrastructure has a capacity of 300,000 barrels per ...

Introduction

The main objectives of this report include; designing the operational principles of parallel and counter flow of heat exchangers. Improving the understanding of fluid temperature and flow rate heat exchangers and lastly to calculate and determine the overall heat transfer coefficient of a heat exchanger ("Superplastic duplex stainless steel heads for the heat exchanger market", 2010). The parallel flow of fluid is characterized by the flow of cold and hot fluids in the same direction; it, therefore, means that the entrance for the two fluids are in the same direction likewise their exit are also normally in the same ...

My Name

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 NIELSEN REPORT

KT Drinks, a UK based spirits manufacturer, is planning to launch a premium golden rum in the UK market in the last quarter of 2016. To promote the product and before the launch, KT drinks wants to partner with a soft drink manufacturer for its campaign. A prospective partner is Roundhouse Ginger Beer. The benefits envisioned for a partnership campaign are as follows:

Campaign will receive joint funding from the soft drink manufacturer

A joint campaign would help differentiate this golden rum from competitor products and therefore catch attention of the consumer; they will be willing to try the product Rum and ginger beer is a well known and ...

LifeStraw: Science and Technology

LifeStraw is a product developed by the Swiss company Vestergaard Frandsen, which consists of a water filter that removes 99.99% of waterborne bacteria, protozoan parasites and viruses, allowing the user to obtain clean drinking water directly from containers, streams, lakes or other sources of potentially contaminated water. The Oxford Dictionary defines science as the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. In order to develop the LifeStraw, scientific experiments were conducted to understand the process of water purification and develop an innovative method ...

Nursing:

Introduction Every so often, it is increasingly becoming important to reset and re-envision what a sustainable, prosperous future might look. This article seeks not only to highlight the importance of sustainability but also point to the various efforts taken by regions in the recent past to become more sustainable. Throughout the world, studies show that the ecological footprints of urban areas are one of the heavy contributors to the un-sustainability of the Earth (Greinetz, 2014). Despite this, cities continue to become, the primary human living space. Over half (50%) of the world’s population lives in urban areas. This ...

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 ...

I will be looking at whether resource prices are rising or falling. I will conduct a deep research into the root of this problem around the world. Through this research it will be easy to establish the solutions to this problem which is not healthy to the economy (Neumayer 68). The research will be conducted through; closed questionnaires, data analysis and use of internet research which includes the use of World Bank and IMF data. Just to take a preview of the essay topic, the history of this problem is from the recent drop in global oil prices that ...
