Essays on Conditioner

The article by Tatiana Schlossberg presents a simple and clear explanation of the close future of air conditioning systems and their influence on global warming (“How Bad Is Your Air-Conditioner for the Planet?”, 2016) Year by year the Earth becomes a hotter place to live and so far almost 90% of American homes have air conditioners. On the one hand, it allows to develop South and Southwest of the country, yet on the other, it leads to the construction of less energy-efficient buildings. In addition, air conditioners emit HFC gas, or hydrofluorocarbons, which traps the heat in the atmosphere ...

Product Life Cycle

While going through the product report for Alikay Naturals Moisturizing Black Soap Shampoo, it seems that the product stands in the decline stage of the product life cycle. Obviously, decline is the final stage of the product life cycle where a product is about to go out of the market. The major characteristic of the decline stage is that there will be long-run drop in sales due to customer taste changes and increased availability of substitute products (Lamb, Hair & McDaniel, 2016, p.202). This long-run drop in sales would naturally lead to a decrease in revenues. While going through the ...

During the inspection of the thermal envelope (insulation) of my residence, major mechanical equipment were evaluated. The auditing also involved conducting various diagnostic tests on residence. The evaluations are geared towards helping me establish and quantify the energy efficiency levels at my residence. The audit indicates that there are many energy consuming appliances at my home and some of them emit energy while on standby mode. The appliances include toasters, televisions, computers, and televisions. These appliances use varied quantities of electricity in terms of Watts (Turner, 2016). Some of the concerns revealed by the audit include air leaks around ...

Introduction

Power quality is an essential factor as far as performance of the electrical machines and equipment are concerned. Quality plays an integral role in ensuring reliability and satisfactory service by improving the transmission and distribution of electric power. In order to serve a huge section of the world with electrical power, quality is paramount in order to reduce losses during transmission and distribution. IEEE defines power quality as the deviation of current and voltage from the ideal to the actual realization. It factors in the concept of ensuring high standard powering and grounding of the electrical equipment for the ...

Description of Report: Product Line Replacement

General Presentation Last year Unilever introduced the hair cleanse product line Oxygen, targeting customers with flat hair for adding extra volume and fullness. However, although the initial sales were satisfactory, during the last year and the beginning of this year Oxygen product line, which includes the Moisture Shampoo, the Moisture Conditioner and the Moisture Root Lift Spray, fall beyond the expected sales (Dove Hair Care, n.d.).

How Much CO2 is emitted by One Person on Earth annually?

Introduction “Carbon footprint” is the latest buzzword among environmentalists and even among members of the general public, including the students and politicians. Carbon footprint pertains to the level of greenhouse gas emitted by people over a particular span of time. The more of these gases are emitted into the environment, the more harm they cause the environment (Olivier et al, 2014). As per US Energy Information Administration (2012), the global average of our carbon emission is now up to 4.6 tonnes per person. The six largest emitting countries/regions (with their share in 2013 between brackets) were: Japan (4%); China ( ...

After reading the case entitled, A Hot Traveler and a Hot Motel Manager, the task herein is to make the assumption of being the hotel manager, and explore a protocol in having to deal with an annoyed traveler.

Introduction

Air Conditioning is perhaps one of the most wonderful scientific inventions that provided relief to the people living in a hot climate. What started as a device for cooling homes was later extended to vehicles that have a closed structure. For a layman, it appears that an air conditioner cools the air. However, scientifically speaking, the air conditioner provides cooling by transferring heat from the air inside the thermally insulated place to the air present outdoor by the medium of “refrigerant”. The phenomenon of heat transfer involves three physical processes: evaporation, compression, and condensation (“How Does an Air Conditioner Work?”). Firstly, ...

Abstract

This paper discusses and examines thermodynamics concepts and systems, particularly air conditioners. The principles upon which these systems are built, namely the first and the second thermodynamics laws are analyzed. Air conditioner performance and efficiency is also examined under the two laws. The second law of thermodynamics helps in determining the effectiveness of thermodynamics-based systems and is used in this paper to determine the efficiency of air conditioners. This paper finally makes recommendations based on calculations that determine the levels of efficiency of air conditioners.

The Mexican factories have received a recommendation because of the improved quality of products they manufacture. The Mexican workers have ...

Abstract

Cars have always played an important role in the course of human development. In the past, man had a vision to introduce an invention to transport people along long distances. To turn the vision of a self-propelling automobile into reality, it took the development of a reliable combustion engine that operated on liquid fuel. In 1672, the first steam-powered vehicle as a toy for the Chinese emperor was built by Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China. As the automobile industry grew, so did the rate of environmental pollution. Car engines are considered to be the prime source of air pollution. The ...

Chapter I How Far Can You Go with Self-therapy Having an actual therapist is better than attempting to treat you. Some people believe that all they have to do is read a book and apply self-therapy. When we attempt to do this we don’t know if we are really getting the message. We think we are getting it, but there is no way to determine if the message we are getting is the message the author intended for us to get. A therapist will actually be on the outside looking in so they can see more. As with ...

The media is everywhere today. It is the primary news source, as well as the primary way we are shown the new and latest items on the market. It is easy to accept the information we are given at first glance without doing any outside research. However, this approach can be harmful because the media is sometimes biased. Political unrest all over the world is often reported in a biased manner at the news station’s discretion. Other news reports are often altered or tailored based on the station’s sponsors. Meanwhile many advertisements run in between these new segments ...

One of the fundamental concepts for high performance service in the hospitality industry is the practice of continuous improvement (King and Cichy, 2006, p. 41). Continuous improvement is a concept first applied to business by Dr. W. Edwards Deming, who was aiding in rebuilding the Japanese business structure after its defeat in World War II (Bhuiyan and Baghel, 2005). Continuous improvement, also known by the Japanese word kaizen, is a business adaption of an attitude commonly found in Japanese culture, which seeks to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. Continuous improvement as a business philosophy describes an approach where all ...
