...In the given case Liquid Chemical Company manufactures and sells a range of high-grade products. Many of these products require careful packaging. The company has a special patented lining made that it uses in specially designed packing containers. Mr. Walsh the general manager was carefully looking at the problem and as a matter of solution he came up with the four alternatives: * Alternative A: It is the status quo. (i.e., Liquid Chemical Co. will continue making the containers and performing maintenance.) * Alternative B: Liquid Chemical Co. will continue making the containers, but it will outsource the maintenance to Packages, Inc. * Alternative C: Liquid Chemical Co. will buy containers from Packages, Inc., but it will perform the maintenance. * Alternative D: It is completely outsourced. Packages, Inc. will make the containers and provide the necessary maintenance. The analysis of each of the four alternatives is given below in terms of the NPV: Option A | Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Cost of GHL net of tax savings | | | | | -144000 | Purchase of other materials | -500000 | -500000 | -500000 | -500000 | -500000 | Supervisor | -50000 | -50000 | -50000 | -50000 | -50000 | Worker | -450000 | -450000 | -450000 | -450000 | -450000 | Rent of warehouse | -85000 | -85000 | -85000 | -85000 | -85000 | Maintenance | -36000 | -36000 | -36000 | -36000 | -36000 | Other Expense | -157500 | -157500 | -157500 | -157500 | -157500 | managers...

...Alternative D 6 Part B Additional information for decision making 6 Other financial factors 6 Nonfinancial information 6 Part C Alternative that was chosen and why 7 Work Cited 8 PART (A) The following is looking at the four alternatives that Liquid Chemical Company can possibly use for their company. Alternative A is them staying with the status quo, Alternative B is outsourcing the maintenance to Packages, Inc., Alternative C will buy containers from Packages, Inc. but they will continue to perform the maintenance, and Alternative D they will completely outsource packaging and maintenance to Packages, Inc. I will then discuss what I think Liquid Chemical Company should do with their current situation. With alternative A, the status quo, Liquid Chemical Company will remain in its current situation. In the company’s first year they had a total in costs of $1,558,500 for the year. All of the costs that the company currently has that I feel are necessary costs in order to keep their company running. This will remain the same situation for at least five years because of the amount of GHL that they had purchased when the company opened. They managed to use 1/5 of the chemical and if they stay with the status quo and production continue with this pace it will take them another four years to use up their stock of GHL. They will also have to continue the maintenance on the machinery in the amount of...

...the intermolecular forces of the liquids. INTRODUCTION Evaporation is the process whereby atoms or molecules in a liquid state gain sufficient energy to enter the gaseous state. The thermal motion of a molecule must be sufficient to overcome the surface tension of the liquid in order for it to evaporate, that is, its kinetic energy must exceed the work function of cohesion at the surface. Evaporation therefore proceeds more quickly at higher temperature and in liquids with lower surface tension. Since only a small proportion of the molecules are located near the surface and are moving in the proper direction to escape at any given instant, the rate of evaporation is limited. Also, as the faster-moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid thus decreases. In this project, we will focus on the rate of evaporation of water, acetone and diethyl ether. We can determine the major factor that cause the difference of the rate of evaporation between them. Most liquids are made up of molecules, and the levels of mutual attraction among different molecules help explain why some liquids evaporate faster than others. Intermolecular attractions that exist between the molecule of the water, acetone and diethyl ether affect the rate of evaporation. This is because liquids that have stronger intermolecular attractions evaporate more slowly than liquids that have weaker intermolecular...

...LIQUID METAL EMBRITTLEMENT (LME) RAGHAV MOHAN Graduate Student M.S in Technical Entrepreneurship and Management University of Rochester INTRODUCTION Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is a phenomenon of practical importance, where certain ductile metals experience drastic loss in tensile ductility or undergo brittle fracture when tested in the presence of specific liquid metals. Generally, a tensile stress or a residual stress is needed to induce embrittlement. Many mechanisms were proposed to explain the phenomenological characteristics of LME. The significance of liquid metal embrittlement is revealed by the practical observation of several structures experiencing ductility losses and cracking during hot dip galvanizing or during subsequent fabrication. Liquid metal embrittlement effects can be observed even in solid state, when one of the metals is brought close to its melting point (e.g. cadmium-coated parts operating at high temperature). This phenomenon is known as solid metal embrittlement. OBSERVATIONS OF LME Mechanical structures are typically a space frame fabricated from parallel large diameter tubes, called chords, cross braced by smaller diameter perpendicular and diagonal tubes(e.g. sign bridge structures over freeway) .After welding, the structure is hot dip galvanized. The hot dip galvanizing process consists of submerging the structure in a bath of molten zinc. This leaves a relatively uniform zinc coating over the entire structure upon...

...The purpose is to find which liquid would be the most effective in dissolving blow pops. In the previous year, research has shown that the two different type of substances, polar and nonpolar affects whether something would dissolve. In this lab, we will test Blow-Pops into 4 different liquids, water, oil, soda, and vinegar to see which would be the most effective. First, we put the Blow-Pops into the different cups provided with the different liquids, then, we observe and check after every five minutes to see if the liquids have any effects on the Blow-Pop. Lastly, we concluded that out of the four different liquids we used, vinegar was the liquid that Blow-Pop would dissolve the fastest in. It has long be considered that sugar can...

...Fracking is the short term for hydraulic fracturing which involves drilling high pressure fluids such as chemicals or sand appended in water into the ground at a high pressure to fracture rock formations in order to gain natural gasses, brine and petroleum inside by increasing the flow rate. Fracking was founded in 1947 as an experiment and was commercially applied in 1949. This method is usually used in wells for shale gas, tight gas, coal seam gas and tight oil Within the past decade, the combination of hydraulic fracturing with horizontal drilling has uncovered many shale deposits across the country and brought large-scale natural gas drilling to a variety of areas. The operation of fracking occurs after a well has been drilled and steel...

...I will be looking to see how the pH level effects the evaporation rate of water. After looking at previous studies on both water evaporation and the effects pH can have I created my hypothesis that the lower that the pH level of the water is the faster the rate of evaporation in the water will be. Evaporation is when liquid is vaporized from the surface of the liquid into the form of gas. It happens when atoms escape from the liquid and become vapor. If the relative humidity of all the air is less than one-hundred percent saturation then that will make the net transfer molecules go to the air. When water is at a certain temperature then it will evaporate at a faster rate. Which causes water to evaporate quickly when it is boiling. For molecules in liquid...

...time. You should never allow the top of the condenser to be stoppered because if you attempt to heat sealed glass apparatus it may explode. Also, you should heat gently because there is a huge risk, when not heated gently, of the equipment exploding and breaking. Also, heating under gentle reflux means the solution can vaporise correctly. Distillation Distillation is when you purify a liquid by a process of heating and cooling. Water enters at the end of the tube. The thermometer is placed inside the distilling flask. Anti-bumping granules are used to provide many places where bubbles of gas may form as the water boils. The bubbles are small and rise steadily to the surface of the liquid where they burst. Without the granules, fewer but larger bubbles form. They rise and burst with such force that they shake the test tubes which can be a hazard. Recrystallisation We recrystallise in order to purify chemicals. In order to recrystallise, we first have to add a small quantity of appropriate solvent to an impure solid. Then we have to apply heat to dissolve the solid. After this, we have to cool the solution to crystallize the product. Finally we use a vacuum filtration to isolate and dry the purified solid. Melting point We use this to determine whether the correct product has been...

There have been many opinions on whether fracking is good or bad but in my opinion fracking isn’t really a good thing, There are many pros and cons about deciding if fracking is a good or a bad thing. Some pros about fracking that are said in Source B is “that the natural gas industry claims that fracking is safe, using natural gas to heat homes and power for the cars releases fewer carbon emissions than coal, and in oil and gas industry have many contractor and subcontractor jobs that are tied to...

...substances using its density. It is the amount of matter occupying a unit of volume. Different types of solids and liquids were measured to get its density including a unknown sample (liquid). We started first on liquid samples which are distilled water, isocrophyl alcohol, coconut oil and an unknown liquid sample. The percentage error ranged below 5.00% for all sample except for coconut oil. We are also able to identify the unknown liquid sample to be kerosene as we compared it with its actual density value. For solid samples, a wood block, pebbles and a marble was examined. The density results were found to be 0.69 g/cm3, 0.53 g/cm3, and 14.21 g/cm3 respectively. Everything that let the overall results to be accurate and precision were the accuracy of the measurements of the samples. INTRODUCTION Density is an intrinsic property which means it doesn’t depends on the amount of a substance. It is defined as the amount of matter (usually as mass) occupying a unit volume. Density is commonly expressed in g/ml for liquids, g/cm3 for solids, and g/L for gases. It can describe the characteristic property of a certain substance. The formula for density is defined as D = M/V wherein M is mass of the material and V is the volume the material occupies. The mass of a liquid or a solid may be taken directly from a balance. Likely the same, the volume of a liquid sample may be read from a graduated cylinder. Certain formulas can be used to calculate the volume of regular solids...

...Purpose of Oil and Gas Separation on Offshore Structures Reservoir fluid is a complex mixture of gas, oil, water, solids and other contaminants that must be separated and processed. Separation is the process whereby reservoir fluid is separated into its component phases of gas, liquid and solid. The separated products are further processed to sellable, reuseable and disposable quality after separation. Reservoir fluids are usually gathered in an Oil and Gas production facility where separation and processing takes place. If the well location is in a deep offshore location, the cost of laying long distances pipelines to onshore processing facilities might make the project to be uneconomical. When it is uneconomical to lay long distances pipeline to onshore facility, the reservoir fluid is separated into its component parts and stored on offshore platforms like the Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facilities. Periodically, vessels go to the FPSO to load products and transport such to the customers. A new area being exploited is the floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facilities where processing of gas to LNG can take place. Oil and gas separation is also carried out offshore in order to avoid flow assurance issues associated with transporting reservoir fluid from long distance offshore location to onshore processing facility. Some of these issues are hydrates formation, wax deposition, asphaltenes problems, corrosion etc. All these happen when there is...

...What is an environment stating the different kinds/types, define crude oil and liquid bulk giving examples The environment is the aggregate of surrounding things, conditions or influences, milieu etc. The types of environment include natural, business, social and cultural aspects. Crude Oil is a natural product of the mixing of the environmental Spheres. It occurs through the decay of biosphere components and its interaction with the other spheres. This natural mixing produces hydrocarbons which can after retrieval can be refined into diesels, gasoline, heating oil’s etc. Liquid bulk is the term used to define all items with mass which mass have an incompressible fluid form. This form conforms to the shape of its container but retain the same volume independent of pressure. In shipping terms this fluid is poured into large tank spaces known as hold in tankers. Some types of liquid bulk cargo are crude oil, chemicals and liquefied natural gas. Based on the definition of environment, state the positive effects of developing a crude oil port. A crude oil port is a transition station in which crude oil is taken from liquid bulk cargo and kept in storage facilities at the port until transported by bulk oil trucks to various destinations. Crude oil is a flammable substance. Therefore it needs to be transported and transferred between transportation modes. The positives of having a port is that crude oil ports are specifically made to handle this type of gas. In addition...
