A.Problem
Can eggshell with styrofoam be a substitute to commercial sealant?

B.Title
Eggshell with Styrofoam and Gasoline Used as a Substitute to Commercial Sealant

C.Abstract The researchers thought of using eggshell, styrofoam and gasoline as a sealant. To make the sealant, the researchers put the styrofoam in the gasoline and melted it by stirring the gasoline. After stirring, the pounded eggshell was mixed. The researchers conducted four experiments. The commercialized sealant and the eggshell sealant were observed in it’s durability, sealing ability, physical appearance and insolubility. The researchers observed the results and discovered that if the hole in the roof was lesser in diameter, it was durable and if the diameter was greater, the sealant was less durable. The researchers considered the time it took to dry.

D.Introduction Today, rain is a big deal to everyone. If there are news that rain is coming soon, everyone often think that it is a new problem to be encountered. It maybe can cause landslides, floods or even can make everyone worried because of the holes in their roofs.

In order to solve one of those problems, the researchers investigated about the eggshells with styrofoam and gasoline as a substitute to commercial sealant. The researchers came up with this problem because as the researchers observe in their houses now, plenty of their roofs had holes. Instead of buying commercial sealant, anyone can just recycle their styrofoam, eggshells and make it a sealant. The making of this substitute sealant can give a big benefit to the community especially the people who can’t afford to buy the commercialized sealant. It will also give a great for the school whenever there are styrofoams that will not be used. The school does not need to worry of what to do. It will also serve as a great help to the next generation of researchers whenever the next researchers would want to make a sealant. The next researchers could get

    The objective of our project was to design and build a contraption that would secure an egg from breaking upon impact from a second story window, and the contraption wieghing as least as possible while falling the fastest. We wanted to design something that would provide a lot of cushioning directly to the egg, and also provide extra cushioning to weaken the impact. After testing and submitting a design of just bubble wrap around the egg we found out that it will not be allowed. Due to this we had to make changes in order to gain originality pionts and add to the creativity. After pondering for a few minutes we came up with the idea of putting the egg in a container of some material with cushioning, and then wrap the container in bubble wrap. This suttle change was enough to gain originality points and led us to the building stage.…

    It is not in Sealed Air Corporation’s best interest to introduce an uncoated bubble product in the packaging market. The company was built on pioneering and innovation, therefore replicating a competitor’s existing product runs contrary to the firm’s philosophy. Financially, the opportunity is small relative to global packaging sales, and the contribution margin in the uncoated product line will put pressure on the company-wide gross margin.…

    We returned a few weeks later to the business where we first saw this foam roofing insulation. The owner took us up onto the roof so we could see it firsthand. We were very impressed with the finished product. It was easy to see how well the foam had adhered to every surface and had expanded fully around the pipes and fittings on the roof. He said that he expected to get at a minimum 25 years of life out of the foam roof. He expected it would need an occasion re application of the protective coating. He also said he expected to save at least 30% on the cost of energy for his business. That was all we needed to…

    Sunsheetal® is based on polyurethane-acrylic blended elastomeric aqueous polymers. It is a high thermal emittance ceramic coating useful in the world of industrial and commercial buildings, as a roof coating system that has the ability to reflect the visible, infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths of the sun, thereby reducing heat transfer to the building. Sunsheetal® is defined as a cool roof coating by virtue of its ability to radiate absorbed, or non-reflected solar energy. Solar heat incident on a roof is dissipated by means of three physical phenomena namely:a fraction of the absorbed heat is conducted to the ground and surrounding buildings a fraction is dissipated by convection to air leading to higher air temperatures, and a fraction is radiated to the sky. As such one has no control over the first two phenomena but the third one, that is, the amount of heat radiated can be maximized by Sunsheetal® roof/ wall coatings that inherently possess high emittance values. Use of Sunsheetal® is particularly useful where the terrace covers an air conditioned space. A higher roof temperature necessarily leads to a higher load on the air-conditioning plant a reduction in roof…

    Egg Shell Literature

    • 2014 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Most good quality eggshells from commercial layers contain approximately 2.2 grams of calcium in the form of calcium carbonate. About 95% of the dry eggshell is calcium carbonate weighing 5.5 grams. The average eggshell contains about 0.3% phosphorous, 0.3% magnesium, and traces of sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese, iron and copper. If the calcium from the shell is removed, the organic matrix material is left behind. This organic material has calcium binding properties, and its organization during shell formation influences the strength of the shell. The organic material must be deposited so that the size and organization of the crystalline components (mostly calcium carbonate) are ideal, thus leading to a strong shell. The majority of the true shell is composed of long columns of calcium carbonate. There are other zones that are involved in the self-organization giving the eggshell its strength properties. Thus, shell thickness is the main factor, but not the only factor, that determines strength. At present, dietary manipulation is the primary means of trying to correct eggshell quality problems. However, the shell to organic membrane relationship is also critical to good shell quality and must be considered.…

    The idea of harvesting power from flowing water is not new or a modern idea at all. It has existed ever since the Greeks and Romans used water-powered mills to grind corn. The Hydro-electric power plants we have now in our modern time is far more complex than that in the olden times, but the same concept is applied, hydro- electric power plants are now used to supply electricity to urban and rural areas almost all over the world. Most people from the rural areas make use of hydro-electric power plants to harvest energy from flowing or falling water. This form of energy production has become more popular in recent years as a way of getting electricity. Waterpower is clean, safe, and it reduces the dependence on fossil fuels, thus benefiting the environment.…
