Essays on Plug

A magneto is small generator formed from a permanent magnet, which uses electricity to give outputs such as pulses of high voltage. A magneto has a transformer, switch and distributor, which give alternating current the direction to the plug that produces sparks. Timing in magneto is the interval in which the breaking point occurs after producing the sparks. Therefore, the purpose of magneto timing is to actualize high voltage used to produce sparks at the right time. It is achieved through the internal and external timing. Internal timing takes place mechanically on a bench. There are two adjustments in ...

Deepwater Horizon

Synopsis The Deepwater Horizon was an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico owned by Transocean, a U.S owned company that specializes in deep water drilling equipment (Ingersoll, Locke, & Reavis, 2012). The $560 million rig was operated by a crew of 126 people (Ingersoll et al., 2012) roughly 45 miles off the Louisiana coast (Mullins, 2010). On April 20, 2010, the exploratory Macondo well experienced an explosion that not only created one of the most catastrophic environmental disasters in U.S. history but killed 11 people (Barstow, Rohde & Saul, 2010). The environmental effects were devastating. It took 87 days ...

Objectivist Traditions and Application

Philanthropists’ Dilemma The case of two philanthropists who must decide whether their mother (nearing complete brain death and whom doctors believe is in moderate pain) should continue her life is challenging to ponder. She has a 5% chance of meaningful recovery, being ill with terminal cancer and senility. Objectivists stand on both side, all sure of their own moral justification. Deontological theories, split up into agent-centered or patient-centered theories, are useful to contrast their compelling views in the morally hazardous Delshondra situation. These two differ in that the former focuses on each individual agent’s personal morality dilemmas and ...

The advancements in modern medicine in the last few decades are responsible for new treatment methodologies in treating deadly diseases. However, there are some areas of the human body that still remain a mystery. The human brain is one of the more complex organs and there is no forseeable outcome irrespective of the infirmity. The medical community faces hard choices whenever they encounter a difficult situation involving brain damage. The chances for recovery from a severe brain damage are slim. Hence, during such times, a hospital staff will request the family for consent to withdraw specific medical treatment or ...

Motivation for the Study

Many automobile manufacturers in car producing countries are taking an interest in the renewable fuels as an alternative energy source for vehicles. This is due to the challenges caused by the difference in demand and supply of conventional energy sources like fossil fuels and the environmental degradation associated with them (Liu, 2015). Renewable fuels are more efficient than the current fuels used to power vehicles and their use will significantly reduce the fuel costs incurred by consumers. Renewable energy sources cause minimal environmental pollution, and its utilization will reduce the world’s pollution levels. The use of renewable fuels ...

The existence of hell is a claim that conservative Christians (and other religions) assert to instill the notion that sinners would languish from eternal fire and be punished for all the immoral acts that that they have committed. In reality, the existence of hell remains questionable as several arguments about the evil and the eternal fire are inconsistent and lacks clear evidence to prove such. Even theologians and religious people continue to debate on the existence of evil and hell because of the contradictions on the notion of God’s true attributes. Although opposing views state that hell is ...

Analysis of human failure contribution to process risk – The Case of Blowout in the Gulf of Mexico

Abstract

The Gulf of Mexico is considered to have accounted for roughly 90% of the complete offshore drilling in the United States of America in terms of the oil volume that is extracted. This number can be further equated to approximately one-third of the total production of oil in the United States of America. There are more than 50, 000 wells that have been drilled here since the year 1947 and of these 4,000 wells were dug deeper than 1, 000 ft. of water. As of date, more or less 80% of the total offshore drilling happens at a ...

Hydraulic Fracturing Process

Hydraulic fracturing is a process through which fluids under high pressure are injected to crack a rock so as to allow oil and gas to flow into the wellbore. Once the rock is fractured, propant such as sand is injected to prop open the fractures to avoid sealing. During the process, water is used as a carrier fluid to transport the sand into the fractured rock matrix (Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation 4). The raw materials used for this process include sand and water, which make up 99 percent of the fluid used by Cabot. The other one percent is composed of chemical ...
