Introduction

The cost of manufacturing ammonia using the Haber process plant constitutes the following components: the cost of energy, raw materials, equipment, labor and sparking substances (catalysts). Energy (gas or electricity) costs are incurred to maintain the temperature of the reaction. The Harber process is operated at very high temperatures, and pressures thus higher costs of energy are incurred. Some of the raw materials consumed in the Haber process such as nitrogen and hydrogen are recovered at the end of the process. The recovered materials are recycled back to the system to reduce the cost of raw materials. Starting and ...

A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

Introduction

Coal is a very cheap and abundant provision of energ. In fact, it is the most abundant fuel in the United States; U.S. has the highest coal reserve in the world, with up to 25% of the known world coal present in America and being mined in 26 out of the U.S. 50 states (fe.doe.gov, 2013). However, this abundant energy is seldom used because it is a very dirty energy. According to Hong & Slatick (1994), up to 204.3 pounds of carbon dioxide per million Btu is emitted when coal having 78% carbon content is completely burned to attain a ...

There have been a variety of important developments that have taken place since 1750. These developments have fundamentally altered the way that people live in the modern world compared to those that lived in premodernity. Today, people live and work in very different contexts and socialize much more broadly than they did in ...

Global Warming Phenomenon

The issue of global warming has been a critical problem across the entire world due to the effects associated with this condition. Global warming is caused by the increase in Earth's temperatures due to the effect of greenhouse gases. The greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emitted from burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas to provide energy are responsible for trapping heat and preventing it from escaping from the Earth’s atmosphere. Human activities like cutting down trees and burning forests for farming activities has been attributed to the emission of greenhouse gases that are ...

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, spreading all across Europe before it finally reached North America and Canada at a later date. The late arrival of the revolution to the colonies was, at least in part, due to the distance between them and the countries of Europe. We can, however, also demonstrably say that the slowness of the revolution in Canada at least was due to the sheer distances involved in the colonies themselves. This paper will examine the industrial revolution in Canada, moving from general terms to specific ones, in order to show ...

Use of Fossil Fuels for Power Generation and the Need for Renewable Energy

According to Nelson (2011), more than 85% of the world’s energy consumption, which is estimated at 520 exajoules, is generated through the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal (p.19). Electric power generation from non-renewable sources will, unequivocally, result in their exhaustion and creation of a major energy crisis. For this reason, it appears primordial to shift in a greater scale to alternate power generation, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, etc. Amongst these, Sorensen (2011) explains that though hydroelectric power does represent one of the major forms of power generation, its growth is stagnant ...

In what ways were railroads America's “first big business,” as Glenn Porter claims?

Glenn Porter claims that railroads revolutionized management, created new forms of corporate finance, altered competition practice and changed labor relations (Porter, p. 34). Railroads were first businesses that required a huge amount of money to be built. They were pioneers in the calculation of cost analysis and future demands. Moreover, they were first to practice performance analysis of employees. The impersonal bureaucratic setting of “big business” company was first incorporated in railroads. The railroad workers were first to organize themselves into labor unions. Thus, railroads introduced many practices that became the key features of big corporations. You have read ...

Introduction

Energy is a key driver of any nation’s economy. The extent to which it contributes to the performance of all activities surrounding the human life is beyond measure. This is because energy contributes almost fully to the economic development of the economy. In its physical form, energy is classified either as renewable or non-renewable. Renewable energy forms the green energy that can be reused again and is less toxic to the environment. On the other hand, non-renewable energy is exploited once it’s used and mostly pollutes the environment. All this energy forms can be either used directly ...

I decided to look at the Industrial Revolution because I believe that it is the greatest cause of change in the last two centuries. The Industrial Revolution not only changed the dynamic of families but that of society itself. This is because people went from self-contained entities to living in large communities. As families were no longer able to survive farming the land or supplying a skill set. They were forced to go to the cities in order to find factory work. One there they would discover that both the living and conditions were abhorrent. This was because the ...

Combustion chambers comprise igniter, fuel injectors, and igniter pugs. It was developed to burn a fuel-air combination and convey gases a temperature not surpassing the allowable limitation at turbine inlet. Hypothetically, the compressor conveys 100% of its air through volume to the combustion chamber. Nevertheless, the fuel-air combination has a ratio of 5 parts of air to 1 part of fuel by density. An estimated 25% of this air is utilized to meet the required fuel-air ratio. The other 75% is utilized to create an air blanket about the burning gases to weaken the temperature that can reach as ...

Hispanics or more commonly known as Latinos have been considered as the largest and youngest minority group in the United States. According to latest surveys, the United States is currently composed of 14% Latinos or Hispanics. Individuals belonging to this minority group share a common cultural heritage and even language. However, being classified as a Latino or Hispanic does not necessarily mean that the individual share common race or ancestry with other individuals in the minority. More often than not, individuals belonging to this group are a mixture of European, Native American, and even African ancestries (Burchard, et al., ...

INDUSTRIAL ENERGY SYSTEMS

Industrial Energy Systems Executive summary Energy is an essential input in any industrial process. Energy in industries is used in virtually every stage of the production process. Therefore, production cannot take place without energy and the cost of energy influences the final cost of the product. As a result, there is an energy component in the final cost of the product. To ensure competitiveness in a free and unregulated economy, producers must reduce the prices of their products to levels below that of the competition. To achieve lower product prices, the usage of energy in the production must be ...

Introduction Some scholars view energy as an abstract concept that could not be defined by any physical parameters (Lehrman 15). There are those who even admit that they do not know the scientific meaning of energy because it cannot be seen or touched or smelled except that it can only be imagined through its effects. For the same reason, some scholars refrain to define energy to avoid being misconstrued. Engineers, however, need an operational definition for energy in order to apply its concept in many engineering applications such as in mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Engineers, especially during ...

Introduction Economic freedom refers to a state or condition wherein people and organizations can do business freely without being ruled over or being subject to any restrictions or limitations. In his seminal work, ‘An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations,’ Adam Smith, a British philosopher and economist, argued that laissez-faire, or the doctrine that industries and markets functions best if they are unregulated and free, is best for the economy. Smith believes that if the markets are unregulated, traders and merchants will compete against each other in order to provide better products ...

1. Thermodynamics Laws. The first law of thermodynamics (the conservation energy law for heat processes) has several mutually equivalent formulations. For example, the amount of heat conducted in a system is spent to change its internal energy and to the work of the system over external bodies. In particular, if the process is isothermal, then all the heat obtained from the gas from the heater is spent for the work. From the practical point of view, the first law states: no first-kind eternal engine (i.e., an engine producing energy from nothing) is possible. The second law of thermodynamics (the ...
