As Chitre and his wife Rohini‚ seven months pregnant‚ opened the window‚ they got a whiff of gas. They immediately felt breathless and their eyes and noses began to stream with a yellow fluid. Sensing danger‚ the couple grabbed a bedsheet and ran out of the house. Unknown to them‚ all the neighbouring bungalows‚ which had telephones‚ had already

The oil and gas industry is one of the world’s largest‚ complex‚ and expensive industry. The prices of oil and gas are probably the most closely plotted products in the global economy. In this industry there are three main segment of value chain: upstream‚ midstream‚ and downstream. It is evident that energy source play vital input to human activities‚ development‚ and growth of the economy. Hence‚ it is believed that after the industrial revolution‚ accessed clean‚ inexpensive and reliable energy

Hydroelectric power: The World’s Established Renewable Energy Resource For over a century‚ hydroelectric power has been used to generate electricity from falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Hydroelectric dams create height for the water to fall and provide storage. In general‚ the higher the dam‚ the more potential energy is available. Building up behind a high dam‚ water accumulates potential energy. The

• standard of the policy was improper. In evaluating the any occupation provision of the policy‚ Common does not have an obligation to find Hocker a position‚ however‚ it does have an obligation to look at age‚ employability‚ and the ability to obtain a job in the relevant labor market. In Hocker’s case‚ Lee Weiser concedes that these factors are relevant to the any occupation inquiry‚ but does not do a sufficient investigation to evaluate these factors. Weiser bases his 1999 decision to terminate

They had no desire to change their archaic practices. When Anderson realized that they could not survive with the current‚ traditional business approach and their competitive edge was dwindling‚ they switched from a "pillar of integrity" company to one that focused solely on keeping clients at any cost.

Although Helium exists in the atmosphere of Earth in small quantities‚ it is one of the most common element in the universe. It is a rare gas on earth. Helium was first discovered by Pierre Janssen in the spectrum of the sun during an eclipse in 1868. It was shortly identified as an element and was named by the chemist Sir Edward Frankland and the British astronomer Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer. Helium has an atomic number of 2 and an atomic weight of 4.002602. Helium is represented by the symbol

efficient distribution and transmission network. High voltage gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is ideal for such applications. The range of application of SF₆ Gas Insulated Switchgear extends from voltage ratings of 72.5 kV up to 800 kV with breaking currents of up to 63 kA‚ and in special cases up to 80 kA. Both small transformer substations and large load- centre substations can be designed with GIS technology. The distinctive advantages of SF₆ Gas Insulated Switchgear are: compact‚ low weight‚ high reliability

ELECTRIC DISCHARGE MACHINING INTRODUCTION * Sometimes it is referred to as spark machining‚ * Its a manufacturing process whereby a desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges (sparks). * Material is removed from the workpiece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes‚ separated by a dielectric liquid and subject to an electric voltage. * One of the electrodes – ‘tool-electrode’ or ‘tool’ or ‘electrode’. * Other electrode - workpiece-electrode
