The Volkswagen Emission Scandal
Abstract: Our environment has been the first victim of humans' actions since the industrial revolution in UK in 1800's. The realization from scientists to the environmental violations by humans motivated the calls for actions and eventually managed to enforce environmental regulations on nations to save environment. Cars emit greenhouse pollutants and carbon monoxide, nitric oxides, and other particulates from fuel combustions that are unhealthy to the environment and therefore rules have been enforced to reduce them as well. In September…...

Motion Industries was formed as a merge of the Owner-Richards Company (which was purchased in 1946 by Caldwell Marks and William Spencer in Birmingham, AL) and the Bearing and Transmission Supply Company (BATS) in 1972. Motion Industries specialized itself in the production of different kinds of bearings along with other mechanical products. In 1976, Motion Industries became owned by Genuine Parts Company (GPC). By 1985, Michael S. Gaffney succeeded as the first president of Motion Industries. By 1993, Motion Industries…...

Brayton Cycle Example
In this one hour course, the open, simple Brannon Cycle used for stationary rower generation is considered providing thrust instead of power output. In order to keep the scope of the thrust analysis simple, the working fluid exiting gas turbine expands to the atmospheric conditions final working fluid exit pressure is equal to the ambient pressure. The Brannon Cycle thermal efficiency is presented only for the air as the working fluid. The thermal efficiency derivation is presented with a simple…...

Two Shaft Gas Turbine Simulator Lab Report
It has isentropic processes occur that upon investigation describes the Carrot cycle. It can be shown that it is the most efficient cycle for converting a given amount of Herman energy into work, or conversely, creating a temperature difference by doing a given amount of work. Calculations were done for the air compressor, combustion chamber and turbines. Power, isentropic efficiency, mechanical efficiency and pressure loss were all deduced with error factors in mind. In the combustion chamber, the overall pressure…...
