Biodiesel began in the 1890s with Rudolph Diesel. Diesel thought early diesel engines could run on pure vegetable oils and believed there would be a grand benefit to those living in poor areas where there was no petroleum. The modern biodiesel that is derived from the transesterification process did not surface until the 1930s in Belgium. But today’s biodiesel really began in Europe in the late 1980s. The early diesel engines ran on many substances‚ until vegetable oil seemed to be an efficient alternative

Coal‚ iron‚ and production were closely interrelated as a result. The United States and Europe were driven by the economic and social incentive of technological advancement. Coal was essential since it was used for steam engines and newly mechanized manufacturing plants. Iron was critical to society since it was also needed in mechanized manufacturing and transportation. These two new materials gave rise to the great factories the Industrial Revolution was known for. The

According to Document 3 “Steam-engines moreover‚ by the cheapness and steadiness of their action‚ fabricate [produce] cheap goods.” Along with cheap goods and making necessary products of life‚ factories also produced more goods quicker via assembly line and mass production (O.I.) This allowed for less skilled workers since all they had to do is one job (O.I.) As a result of steam engines being implemented into factories allowed much more

The Industrial Revolution in the United States occurred after witnessing it take place in England. The cotton gin‚ invented by Eli Whitney‚ was perhaps the invention that bore the most importance of the time period and had the greatest impact on United States society.

class uses diesel and obtains 25 miles per gallon. The Lexus model‚ priced at $48000‚ uses premium gasolene and obtains 20 miles per gallon. Both the models need to be serviced annually but the CDL being a diesel engine requires annual service that is costlier by $100. The life of a diesel engine is typically longer – hence the residual value of a 10 year old CDL is estimated to be $1600 higher than the Lexus. Assume (i) the average cost of premium gasolene to be $3.00 per gallon (ii) the average cost

The British Industrial revolution is defined as the rapid economic growth and industrialization which occurred in Britain between the 16th and 18th century. There are several arguments posed with regards to what the sole cause was for this revolution.

assigned to the “consumer financial services” industry in the “financial” sector‚ but recently has shown signs that it may be focusing more of an interest in its industrial units. The company currently sells everything from wind turbines to jet engines to locomotives. A lot of emphasis was placed on this unit in late 2009 and early 2010 and due to laggings sales was held largely responsible for company missing market expectation on Wall Street. Many experts believe this focus is due to the slump
