Ella January 2nd ‚ 2014 Hydraulic Fracking in the United States Petroleum‚ natural gas‚ oil…do we really need them? These products power so many things today that humankind “depends” on. Machines in factories‚ automobiles‚ and an abundance of other electronics are fueled by the result of hydraulic fracking. Hydraulic fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is used among companies that drill underground for oil and natural gas. The drillers inject millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ salts and chemicals—some

Application of linear algebraic equation for chemical engineering problem The chemical engineering system models often outcome of set of linear algebraic equations. These problems may range in complexity from a set of two simultaneous linear algebraic equations to a set involving 1000 or even 10‚000 equations. The solution of a set two or three linear algebraic equations can be obtained easily by the algebraic elimination of variables or by the application of cramer’s rule. However for systems involving

Hydraulic Fracking Is it the “New Wave” of our Future? Hydraulic fracturing‚ also known as “fracking” is responsible for the historic boom in production of domestic gas and oil. Over the past few years‚ advances in fracking creates fractures that extend from wells into oil and gas formations by pumping highly-pressurized fluid; water‚ sand‚ ceramic beads‚ and a mixture of chemicals into the oil or gas formation. As this fluid holds the underground fissures open‚ oil and gas flow up the

Hydraulic fracturing is a water-intensive industrial process that drillers use to collect the natural gas held in shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important energy resource in the U.S. Fracking fluid contains water‚ salt‚ sand‚ and hazardous industrial chemicals. This fluid is injected at high pressure underground into geologic formations. The salty water‚ sand‚ and chemical mixture forces natural gas up through the well bore to the surface for collection through pipelines.
