The objective of the deicer lab was to successfully conduct experiments to determine the usefulness of magnesium chloride as a deicer. To find how successful magnesium chloride is as a deicer‚ experiments were conducted to determine the freezing point depression‚ enthalpy of dissolution‚ the impact on the surrounding environment‚ and also the expenses of using magnesium chloride as a deicer. For magnesium chloride to be determined as a good deicer‚ the reaction with water needs to be exothermic so

Piloting An Airplane There I was walking through the departure hall of Gate 32. A massive airliner jet was waiting for me to get my hand on and start flying it in a miles journey. Entering the cockpit of the Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-212 jet flight SQ115 to New York John F Kennedy Airport via Frankfurt. It is an exciting moment as it was my first time to fly this new jet as the captain. Today we will be flying from Singapore to Frankfurt with a distance of more or less 4‚000 miles and

120 planes per hour. Assuming that the number of arrivals approximately equals the number of departures‚ we obtain an average arrival capacity of 60 planes per hour. Although there are three runways in operation during good weather‚ only two of them are used for arrivals‚ which imply that each arrival runway has an hourly capacity of 30 planes per hour. During the peak period‚ arrival rates generally range from 44.5 planes per hour to a little over 60 planes per hour. The FAA has reported an

passenger terminals and a cargo terminal. In the 1950s‚ Heathrow had six runways‚ now it has just two parallel runways running east-west. Heathrow has witnessed strong growth over recent decades‚ currently handling 68 million passengers and 477‚000 flights a year compared to around 48 million passengers and 427‚000 flights a year in 1996. In the absence of any increase in runway capacity‚ this growth has resulted in Heathrow’s runways operating at around 99% capacity compared to its main European competitors

In 2006 and 2007‚ the minister of Finance‚ Gerrit Zalm wanted to sell Schiphol’s shares owned by the Dutch State. According to Zalm‚ it would create financial possibilities‚ Schiphol’s management would become more efficient and government interference is no longer necessary for Schiphol. Furthermore‚ around this time‚ there was a trend in privatising airports‚ so in order to compete with these airports‚ Gerrit Zalm said that Schiphol should become independent as well. KLM-Air France did not agree

5. CASE STUDY REPORT In the Delays at Logan Airport case‚ there are different proposals for reducing congestion. One of the methods proposed to tackle the impact of delays was peak-period pricing‚ PPP. The other one was to build a new runway. In this case study‚ your objective is to evaluate these alternatives using waiting line models and to provide a recommendation to FAA to solve the delay problem at Logan Airport. Make sure you demonstrate that you have thought through your recommendations
