The area that I will discuss is the interaction that the big oil companies have had with the environment surrounding their businesses in Alaska. I will not tackle the issue of whether it is right or wrong to extract or use fossil fuels. Instead, I will ignore the larger issue and concentrate on specific issues concerning the Arctic Slope activities of oil companie...

My prediction is that the north face of the mountain will have a higher density of these trees than the south face of the range because of the temperature differences of the north slope being warmer than south slope for the rang...

Mccabe Thiele Graphical Hetp Vs Vapor Velocity Column
5,222 wordsThis report Chemistry: Destination Abstract This report outlines the steps taken to separate a 50: 50 by volume ethanol and isopropanol side stream. The resulting separation must contain no more than 3 % alcohol impurity in each product. A laboratory column, run at total reflux, was utilized to scale up to a forty foot high by one foot diameter column. The laboratory column allowed the team to determine vapor velocities and HETP values for the 0. 24 inch Pro-Pakq packing. HETP is defined as the ...

Coastal Plain Hudson River
1,539 wordsNew York s Geology The bedrock of the earth is made up of rock bodies that vary in size, shape, orientation, composition, color, and texture. These rocks makeup the bedrock, which is present everywhere. If one were to study a map of the bedrock from a vehicle point of view, they would find that patterns are made by eroded edges and surfaces of rock bodies that crop out of the state. Most rock bodies are originally tubular and horizontal. Deformations of these rock bodies occur over many years du...

Air Resistance Straight Line
1,374 wordsPlanning The experiment is to determine the horizontal motion of a projectile when launched from a ski slope´ at different speeds. It is thought that the rate at which the ball bearing is released from the slope will affect how far it travels in a horizontal direction. The height up the slope that the ball is released will be proportional to the distance that it travels. Therefore, if the height from which it is released is doubled it will travel twice as far. When the experiment is conduc...
