nations will suffer great damage and need to keep a watchful eye on environmental degradation. There are some urgent problems which are now affecting the world, and which we need to solve quickly, are acid rain, air pollution, global warming, hazardous waste, ozone depletion, smog, water pollution and so on. It is easy to see that environmental degradation is a serious issue for the whole international community. If we want to solve it, the most principle point we need to research is what causes it. As

Pollution is the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects to humans or other living organisms, or that damage the environment. Pollution occurs in different forms; air, water, soil, radioactive, noise, heat/thermal or global warming and light. Pollution happens because of the following; we process, consume and throw away a high volume of material resources at a very high rate. Then the nature’s way of reabsorbing these resources

feature they will experience is, beyond doubt, the incredible strength of the wind. So How Does a Hurricane Work? Hurricanes begin over warm tropical seas with the movement of a mass of air. The movement of air, wind, is caused by changes in atmospheric pressure as the air warms and cools due to the heating effects of the sun. Warm air is under higher pressure than cold air and so moves towards the ‘space’ occupied by the colder, lower pressure, air. The speed with which the air moves, from a high

Science Project: Air Pressure (Egg in a Bottle) Introduction Atmospheric pressure is the force that acts on any object by the weight of tiny air molecules. Molecules in the air are invisible but they still have weight and they occupy space. Air Pressure changes with the change in the altitude. As the altitude increases the Air Pressure decreases and the altitude decreases Air Pressure increases. At an higher altitudes we have to breathe more often than at the sea level. If you are on Mt Evans then

ROTARY DRYER DESIGN To start the design of rotary dryer design basis for hot air and wet solid feed must be known. Design basis and required parameters are like that: * Feed Temperature (Tsa) = 60 oC * Vaporization Temperature (Tv) = 100 oC * Final Solid Temperature (Tsb) = 80 oC * Wet Bulb Temperature (Tw) = 41 oC * Inlet Air Temperature (Thb) = 150 oC * Relative Humidity of Air: 10 % * Number of Transfer Unit: 1.5 (It can vary between 1.5-2.5) Air outlet temperature

Atmosphere- a blanket of air that surrounds the earth Function of the atmosphere 1. It insulates us so that we don’t freeze at night. 2. Its ozone layer protects us from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. 3. It also contains the carbon dioxide needed by plants for photosynthesis, and the oxygen we need to breathe. Layers of the atmosphere Troposphere • Layer closest to the Earth. • Where all weather occurs • The higher you go in the Troposphere the colder it
