According to “A Brief History of the Automobile‚” “[Dudgeon’s] automobile was powered by a steam engine.” Furthermore‚ the passage also directly states‚ “It was not like the cars we think of today‚ of course.” The article literally states that Dudgeon’s invention is not up to the standards of a modern automobile. An automobile is classified by many as a vehicle‚ with a gas engine‚ that can propel itself and be directed by a person. Dudgeon’s invention ran off steam‚ and is therefore not

Factors that cause a higher temperature in urban areas: – more buildings running furnaces or air conditioners which emit heat – more areas paved with dark-coloured asphalt – more dark-coloured flat roofs – denser traffic with internal combustion engines – less reflective snow cover in winter time Other causes of a UHI are due to geometric effects. The tall buildings within many urban areas provide multiple surfaces for the reflection and absorption of sunlight‚ increasing the efficiency

If these recommendations are put into practice‚ the experts agreed that many of the engine aging stressors could be either eliminated or their effects could be managed to reduce failures. The focus of the study group was to 1) address the diesel generator aging stressors resulting from the present nuclear industry testing practices‚ and
