Electricity can be produced by burning "municipal solid waste" (MSW) as a fuel. MSW power plants‚ also called waste to energy (WTE) plants‚ are designed to dispose of MSW and to produce electricity as a byproduct of the incinerator operation. The term MSW describes the stream of solid waste ("trash" or "garbage") generated by households and apartments‚ commercial establishments‚ industries and institutions. MSW consists of everyday items such as product packaging‚ grass clippings‚ furniture‚ clothing

Lab 1 “Laboratory Techniques and Measurements” A. Water boils at 100C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100 C‚ what could be the reason? * We’re not at sea level; the pressure could be lower or higher. B. While heating two different samples of water at sea level‚ one boils at 102C and one boils at 99.2C. Calculate the percent error for each sample from the theoretical 100C. (show your work) * 1st Sample: 1.96% error * 2nd Sample: 0.81% error

Theory: Distillation is the conversion of a mixture of substance into vapors which is afterwards condensed to the liquid form. It cans separation or purification of substances by taking advantage of differences in volatility. The purpose of this lab is comparing the efficiency of two distillation methods with the mixture of ethanol and 1-butanol. in theory the fractional distillation should be more efficient because of the steel sponge. The sponge acted as surface area for gas to condense on. This

In this essay I shall attempt to analyse whether the separation of powers is respected in the attribution of competences within the European Union. The separation of powers In order to assess this question we first have to consider what the doctrine of separation of powers actually is. The idea was developed by the French jurist Montesquieu in the 18th Century. It is based on a division of power between the legislature‚ the executive and the judiciary. Each institution have their distinct and largely

Laboratory Safety Standards Jill Olson A school science laboratory is an excellent setting for students to explore and investigate the world around them. Almost every part of students’ lives is affected by science. Allowing them to see‚ touch‚ and manipulate objects in a laboratory situation gives students the real world experience to get them excited about science and to prepare them for college and beyond. However‚ James A. Kaufman‚ director of the Laboratory Safety Institute‚ proposes that

Lab #3 January 30‚ 2012 1. Title: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to learn laboratory techniques and to how to measure precisely. During this lab I will learn how to measure length‚ temperatures‚ volume‚ density‚ and mass using laboratory equipment. I will be using laboratory equipment to prepare dilutions and calculate them while using an algebraic formula. 3. Procedure: In order to perform this lab I needed the following materials:
