BEHAVIOR AND UTILITY MAXIMIZATION Consumers are assumed to be rational. Given his money income and the market prices of various commodities‚ he plans the spending of his income so as to attain the highest possible satisfaction. It is possible to measure the amount or level of satisfaction that individuals get from consuming a commodity or a bundle of goods using the concept of utility. Two approaches to the concept of utility (Cardinalists and Ordinalists approach) describe how utility can be gauged

Gas laws have an impact on several aspects of our lives. The S.T.E.M I decided to explore deals a great deal in thermodynamics in the gas law I chose chemistry. First off I have to explain what is the broad practice of chemistry. Chemistry‚ a branch of physical science‚ is the study of the composition‚ properties and behavior of matter. Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms‚ and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. Chemistry is also concerned with

Introduction to Gas Turbines A turbine is any kind of spinning device that uses the action of a fluid to produce work. Typical fluids are: air‚ wind‚ water‚ steam and helium. Windmills and hydroelectric dams have used turbine action for decades to turn the core of an electrical generator to produce power for both industrial and residential consumption. Simpler turbines are much older‚ with the first known appearance dating to the time of ancient Greece. In the history of energy conversion‚ however

Do Gas Stations cause soil pollution? Soils are extremely important parts of every ecosystem. They are a home to many microbes and provide vital nutrients to the plants that live in them. pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution‚ and most organisms have a very small range of pH values in which they can survive. 7 is considered neutral‚ lower than 7 is acidic (lemon juice‚ rain water) and above 7 is basic (bleach‚ soap). Lots of urban areas are dependent on car transportation‚

Danielle Perkins September 9‚ 2013 AAPSC 603 Discussion Paper The Factors Affecting Greenhouse Gas Emission in the Livestock Industry People around the world have become very aware of the changes our world is going through on a constant basis. One of the biggest subjects people are talking about is global warming and how the human race is the number one cause of it. In more than one way this is unmistakably true. From the daily activities of driving gasoline powered cars to the simple necessity

Oil and gas conservation means their better and more efficient use with regard to economic‚ social or environment costs and benefits resulting minimization of wastage and protection of environment. A very high priority is attached by the government to conservation of petroleum products in view of the need to reduce increasing gap between demand for and supply of oil and petroleum products. Government has initiated various steps to promote conservation of petroleum products in the different sectors
