Introduction

Pumps installed in fire engines either hoses out water from the fire tanker or suck water from a source such as fire hydrants, lakes, or pools. Different mechanisms control the pumping of water from a water source to the scene of the fire. Usually, a 6 inch suction pipe is used to extract water out of the water tank or an external water source. The water is then discharged out through exit lines or hoses with a certain force to eventually quench the fire.

The Impeller Pump

The main source that pumps water is the impeller water pump. This is a propeller type device that has curved ...

Logistics Industry Overview

The manufacturers are eager to reduce the cost of production, and they are prepared to source the materials from any corner of the world if the costs are contained.

In recent times, there has been an intense exploration of the Tunneling field effects transistors. This is because it has been discovered to have the potential to offer a way out of many concerns, especially the power concerns, in nanoelectronics. “Graphene nanoribbon was recently discovered and has been deemed ideal for tunneling FETs,” [1]. For graphene nanoribbons tunneling transistors, the subthreshold swing has been investigated to be a nonlinear function of temperature. The graphene nanoribbon has been declared as the best candidate for tunneling field effect transistor owing to its compatibility with planar processing, direct and narrow band gap, and low ...

Deciding whether the government should withdraw its support from Amtrak or continue funding the project is challenging because either of the options carry ...

[Heat Lost From a 6-Inch OD Steam Line]
Analyze heat lost from a 6-inch OD steam line. The line carries high-pressure steam throughout the factory at 400 psi, 400oF. Specify type and thickness for insulating the steam line. Compare the cost of energy lost with and without pipe insulation. You can assume steam is generated 8000 hours/year. Compare energy cost reductions based upon a gas fired boiler and a fuel oil fired boiler. Assume boiler energy input at 6.5(106) Btu/hr.

Given outer diameter OD = 6-inch, pressure = 400 psi, steam temperature = 400oF.

The following assumptions are made;

The steam pipe is made of mild steel

This company was the first to be chattered as a carrier for both passengers and freight. With time, the railroad gained importance during the settling of North America. This introduction to the people made it possible for the agricultural industry to develop greatly. Before long, several railroads had emerged, which made it possible for rail transport to expand its reach (Williams 2004). People therefore stopped over-relying on water and road transportation, since they now had more options. This industry ...

The world's populace increases by approximately 80 million people each year, according to the population reserve website, Population Connection. And with most of this inhabitants occupying comparatively small urban areas, it is not astonishing that population density is a mounting cause of concern. And while there are many unconstructive impacts of high population densities, there are also a few constructive ones.

A person living an area with a high population density will recurrently be making contact, deliberately or not, with the area's other human inhabitants. A municipality's busy sidewalks, subways and, buses, all serve as centres for the transmission of pathogens. An ...

Artists in various fields and media have often drawn inspiration from their fellow artists who work in different formats. For example, writers have often been influenced by music; and movies have often been based on novels or plays. In the 20th century, however, there was a very close alliance between writers and visual artists, both in American and in Europe. Modernist painters often developed friendships with modernist writers and poets, and modernist poets often used modern paintings as an inspiration for their poems.

Question No. 1

Obviously, worker protections have come a long way since the days when young children were working twelve hours a day, six days a week, in Dickensian factories. However, the simple fact is that there are too many people who are still struggling to make ends meet, working at wages that are going to keep them in poverty. If a company is going to employ people at low wages, it should not compound the damage by giving them working conditions that are harsh and unfair. The theory of virtue ethics is one that justifies not only the passage of the ...

Abstract

Recently, attention has been diverted to clean, alternative and renewable technologies due to the depletion of petroleum resources and increase of the green house gases from the combustion of fuel resources. Fuel cell is the fore-runner of these technologies and has received immense impetus due to its relatively clean source of energy. Fuel-cells are devices that produce electrical energy from chemical transformation reactions. Electrodes are placed within an electrolyte medium that facilitates oxidation of fuel. In these electrochemical reactions, ions are generated that generate electricity. This electrical energy can be effectively harnessed to carry out a myriad of functions. Since ...

Intrusion detection and prevention systems are the most reliable form of securing APT incidences and the overall security of the information infrastructure. This is because, unlike susceptibility and management systems and IT infrastructure support, they have the capacity to detect occurrences of APT and subsequently prevent damage to the computer systems. Firewalls are supposed to block illicit impound traffic, but in most instances, they do not succeed. Intrusion detection and prevention systems have the capability to detect and catch threats missed by the firewalls. Susceptibility management systems are used to identify, remediate and mitigate vulnerabilities in computer networks but ...
