Introduction to Industrial Pollution Industrial pollution is pollution which can be directly linked with industry‚ in contrast to other pollution sources. This form of pollution is one of the leading causes of pollution worldwide; in the United States‚ for example‚ the Environmental Protective Agency estimates that up to 50% of the nation’s pollution is caused by industry. Because of its size and scope‚ industrial pollution is a serious problem for the entire planet‚ especially in nations which

SIMULATION AND MODELING 1. Generate 20 random numbers and solve the following integrals by monte-carlo (i) (ii) 2. A piece of equipment contains four identical tubes and can function only if all the four are in working order. The lives of tubes has approximately uniform distribution from 1000 to 2000 hours. The current maintenance practice is to replace a tube when it fails. Equipments has to be shut down for 1 hr for replacing a tube‚ the cost of one tube is sh 100‚ while the shut down time

Air Pollution Air is the most important element of life. For some ’air pollution‚’ let us give thanks. Dust and other particles in the atmosphere serve as nuclei about which raindrops form. But man has overloaded the sky. For centuries he has pumped particulate matter and gases into the atmosphere. As far back as 1661‚ a tract on air pollution was published in England: Fumifugium: or the Inconvenience of the Aer and Smoake of London Dissipated. Today much of the world suffers from the eye-smarting

TO: Hope Weiss FROM: Nap Paholio DUE DATE: December 11‚ 2015 SUBJECT: Simulation Project Introduction The objective of this lab is to simulate the motion of an untuned vehicle’s suspension driving down an uneven surface. In terms of pitch and bounce‚ the goal of the simulation is to optimize and tune the car’s suspension to ensure an ideal ride over a bumpy surface for the driver. Experimental Method The suspension of car works with two- degrees of freedom: the pitch and bounce. The combination
