Development of Modern Transport Aircraft Introduction This document is presented to compare the two commercially successful and super-efficient airplanes‚ the Boeing 707-320B and Boeing 787-9. This document will identify the key innovations in airframe and propulsion technology‚ and also further discuss on why the basic design and appearance of aircraft remain unchanged over 50years.

still fresh. But what made it worst is when the nuclear power plant in Japan exploded. The event released massive amounts of radiation into the community and has infected a lot of people. Today‚ there is a proposal to open the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. I admit that I am afraid of the fact that the scenario that happened in Japan might happen to us Filipinos as well. For me‚ I do not agree with the proposal. Opening the nuclear power plant in Bataan was proposed because it offers a lot of benefits

Merchant power plants differ from traditional rate-based power plants as to: 1) how they are financed and 2) where they sell the electricity they generate. A merchant power plant is funded by investors and sells electricity in the competitive wholesale power market. Since a merchant plant is not required to serve any specific retail consumers‚ consumers are not obligated to pay for the construction‚ operations or maintenance of the plant. A traditional rate-based power plant‚ on the other hand

Thermal power plants are one of the main sources of electricity in both industrialized and developing countries. These plants have drawn flak on consumption of non-renewable sources of energy at a rapid rate and also since they release huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The anti-greenhouse gas activists are calling for thermal power to be replaced by other cleaner sources of energy. Functioning of thermal power plant: In a thermal power plant‚ one of coal‚ oil or natural gas

spends $14 billion out of their $31 billion annual budget on animal researching(Humane Society International; Conlee; US National Institutes of Health). Animal testing has become a very controversial topic to discuss. Experimenting on animals is cruel because even though there are alternative ways to test people still believe that testing on the animals is a better way to do things. Acts of cruelty against the animals‚ and the fact that animals are different from humans seem to be big issues in the controversy

Most treatment systems are designed to remove microbiological contamination and those physical constituents which affect the acceptability or promote microorganism survival largely related to the suspended solids in the water. A disinfectant is nearly always included in treatment plants of any size. Pinang Tunggal water treatment plant produce 227‚000 cubic meter per day of treated water.

Natural gas is composed of a wide range of hydrocarbon compounds that will condense to form liquids at particular temperatures. The more energy-dense‚ or “heavier‚” components can condense at operating temperatures and can cause operational problems within pipelines‚ compressors and other midstream equipment. These natural gas liquids (NGLs) also

Different Parts of a Plant Cell Plant cells are classified into three types‚ based on the structure and function‚ viz. parenchyma‚ collenchyma and sclerenchyma. The parenchyma cells are living‚ thin-walled and undergo repeated cell division for growth of the plant. They are mostly present in the leaf epidermis‚ stem pith‚ root and fruit pulp. Mature collenchyma cells are living‚ and provide stretchable support to the plant. Lastly‚ sclerenchyma cells (e.g. fiber cells) are hard‚ non-living and

Center Science Fair “Plants Growth investigation” Student: Daniela Tristan. Teacher: Mrs. Pena. 2010. Title of the project: Plants Growth investigation Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is that by watering more a plant will help it grow more or less. I hypothesized that the plant that will grow the most will be the plant that will be watered the most. Hypothesis If a plant given an unlimited supply of moisture will grow more rapidly than a plant given the recommended
