I chose the Coca-Cola Company because of the apparent simplicity of its business: to sell sugary drinks to the world. They can do it better than anyone else and provide a good return to investors.

What were the opinions of some of your referenced articles on this stock as an investment?

One of the articles indicated that Coca-Cola was taking a hit from the Euro: the relative strength of the European currency versus emerging markets’ currencies explained a decrease in 2.7% of total revenue, despite an increase in total volume of sales (Coca-Cola Weakened by Strong Euro, 2016). Other two articles pointed to a more serious long-run threat: the imposition of a sugar tax in ...

Polymers cells are the next-generation class of photovoltaic since they promise realization of light weights, mechanically flexible, larger area devices. The room temperature solution processing can be used in fabricating these devices. High-efficiency conversion power of about 10% has recently been obtained in tandem polymer cells (Huo et al., 2015). In single-junction, it’s achievable through lowering the density state to a level lower than the electron acceptor and the conduction band of the semi-conductor. Photovoltage is electromotive force obtained by a photosensitive material due to inducing radiant energy; photovoltaic relates electric current produced at a junction of two ...

A brake is a device that produces artificial resistance to the moving part of a machine to stop or slow down its motion. Any machine or its part that is in motion possesses kinetic energy. As per physical laws, energy cannot be destroyed; its form can only be transformed. The brake system converts the kinetic energy of the moving machine or part into thermal, potential or chemical energy. Brake systems are of various types utilized in different applications in industries, home appliances, vehicles, railway trains, and other sectors. This paper has focused on the brake systems used in vehicles, ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...

Introduction:

Airfoil design and selection is an important deciding factor in aircraft performance. Airfoil is a term used to describe the cross section of the aircraft wings. By observing birds in flight, man has understood that flat plates, resembling bird’s wings can produce the necessary lift to set the aircraft flying. However the actual importance of airfoil in designing the wings of the aircraft was recognized only in 1800. Since then many engineers have designed, tested and patented a number of variations in airfoil pattern. Over the years, there has been a remarkable advancement in technology of airfoil construction and also in ...

For a behavior to qualify as stalking, it has to be intrusive and unwanted, and there must be a strong preoccupation with the victim. Stalking activities fall into three categories: following, communicating, and aggression (Nadkarni & Grubin, 2000). Following involves trailing victims to their workplaces and homes, and engineering coincidences. Communicating involves the use of anonymous phone calls, letters, gifts or emails.

One of the main problems of classical mechanics is that of turbulent fluid flow. The reason for this is that there is the presence of thin no-slip boundary which requires a lot of meshpoints in order for the solution to be arrived. There is a research which has been arrived and researched upon which shows that with the use of slip boundary condition to be the model for friction to be achieved for the small skin, there is the possibility for predictive simulation for mean quantities. An example of such mean quantities is the drag and lift turbulent flow with millions ...

Comparison of flight mechanic propeller driven air planes and birds

Both birds and airplanes have a requirement that they must overcome the force of gravity in order to make flights. Due their weight difference, airplanes and birds differ in power requirement for flying. The power to bring balance between the lift and gravity, drag and thrust such that any flying object can fly comfortably varies as power the weight of these objects. Depending on the power capability of birds and airplanes there are limits for weight requirements for these objects. Airplanes require powerful engines to fly their heavy weight. Most commonly heavy airplanes use jet engines to fly the heavy ...
