Recommendation Although aluminum prices are at relative historic low today‚ we recommend that Alusaf go ahead with plans to construct the Hillside smelter plant. Based on the following analyses‚ we project the price of aluminum to rise to approximately $1‚590 per ton in 5 years. This price exceeds the minimum required level of $1‚416 per ton to yield Alusaf a positive net present value (NPV) on its initial plant investment of $1.6 billion. Analysis of Hillside plant profitability At a minimum

A COMPARISON OF ALUMINUM VS. COPPER AS USED IN ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Larry Pryor‚ P.E. – Sr. Specification Engineer‚ GE Consumer & Industrial Rick Schlobohm‚ P.E. – Sr. Specification Engineer‚ GE Consumer & Industrial Bill Brownell‚ P.E – Specification Engineer‚ GE Consumer & Industrial ABSTRACT The debate over the pros and cons of aluminum vs. copper conductors has been discussed for many years. Many of the concerns are based on old information and also misinformation. These concerns center on the

Thickness of Aluminum Foil August 21‚ 2014 Purpose: To determine the thickness of aluminum foil through the use of the density formula applied to gathered data. Theory: The thickness of aluminum foil cannot be directly measured. In order to find the thickness‚ many pieces of data must be obtained and used in the density formula. The data that must be obtained is the length‚ width‚ and mass of the aluminum foil. These need to be collected because they will complete the formula: Density = mass /

CIVE 3202 A6E – Mechanics of Solids II (Winter 2013) Experiment 2: Bending of an aluminum I-beam Introduction “Beams are long straight members that are subjected to loads perpendicular to their longitudinal axis and are classified according to the way they are supported”[1]. When a beam is subjected to an external load there are unseen internal forces within the beam that one must be aware of when implementing it into any design or structure. These internal

Which bat wooden or aluminum‚ hits a ball the greatest distance? This project was done to see if aluminum bats are really as dangerous as Major League Baseball says they are and why MLB outlawed players from using aluminum bats . If aluminum bats have a greater trampoline effect than wooden bats ‚ then aluminum bats will hit the ball a greater distance. This hypothesis is true based on the information gathered‚ from the aluminum bats. The first‚ second‚ and third aluminum bats ball averages were

table‚ 80% of the elements are metals. Of the metals‚ aluminum is the most abundant in the earth’s crust. Aluminum is concentrated in the outer 10 miles (16 km) of the Earth’s crust‚ of which it constitutes about 8% by weight; it is exceeded in amount only by oxygen and silicon.1 This metal can be found in group 13 (formerly group IIIA) in the periodic table‚ known as the boron group elements. It is represented by the chemical symbol Al‚ and has an atomic number of 13. Aluminum‚ also spelt Aluminium

This experiment contains three separate procedures in which Aluminum Potassium Sulfate(Alum) will be melted‚ massed out and mixed with Barium Nitrate‚ along with distilled Water. Procedure one we completed two trials of melting two separate 0.01g of Alum and making a comparison to the literature temperature of 92.5‚ to do this we attached an Alum filled capillary tube to a thermometer and inside a beaker placed over a Bunsen burner. Procedure two consisted of placing 2.00 grams of Alum into a crucible

Observing Aluminum Foil Lab Alexandra Bellissimo Mrs. Taylor D1P4 Date preformed: September 11th 2014 Date of Submission: September 19th 2014 The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the thickness of aluminum foil in centimeters. In this lab we measured the thickness by plugging in the quantitative properties of our piece of aluminum foil into the equation for volume and then isolated “h” to solve for height. The thinking behind this method is that by using
