1(a) Explain the key demand side drivers of price for oil. In recent years‚ the fluctuations of oil prices have gotten the attention of the whole world. From $20s in 2003‚ it hit a mid-term peak of $148 in mid 2008‚ then fell to $30 during early 2009‚ and now back to $70-$80. Economic principles have demonstrated that the rise of oil price is a function of lack of supply and greater demand. We know that oil is lack of supply since there’s no major oil field found in the last 40 years and oil

HEAT TRANSFER Heat transfer‚ also known as heat flow‚ heat exchange‚ or simply heat‚ is the transfer of thermal energy from one region of matter or a physical system to another. When an object is at a different temperature from its surroundings‚ heat transfer occurs so that the body and the surroundings reach the same temperature at thermal equilibrium. Such spontaneous heat transfer always occurs from a region of high temperature to another region of lower temperature‚ as required by the second

Introduction- Heat is energy that is warm. Heat energy comes from different energy forms or types like electrical. Heat is also natural‚ from the sun. Heat transforms by reflecting on something and giving it warmth. The temperatures on the coloured cans will vary because they absorb different amounts of heat. According to the particle theory when an object heats up the particles spread out and move more. Aim- The aim of this experiment is to test how colour affects the amount of heat being absorbed

Natural Law can be traced back into the Ancient Greek and Roman worlds. In Sophocles’ play ’Antigone’‚ Natural Law is very apparent throughout and the writings of the Greek Philosopher; Aristotle. In his works - ’Nicomachean Ethics’ - he wrote; "The natural is that which is everywhere‚ is equally valid‚ and depends not upon being or not being received...that which is natural is unchangeable‚ and has the same power everywhere.’ The Ancient Stoics emphasised the importance of Logos‚ or rationality

energy supplies enough for our life? Nowadays‚ the problem of global warming in all around the earth became more serious. In other countries‚ the iceberg keeps melt because of the global warming causes the temperature of earth increase. So‚ in order to save our environment‚ one of the important ways we can do to save the environment is using green energy. Green energy is the energy that produces little products but no harming the environment. We think that the green energy will supplies enough

Cost and Benefit Analysis of work@home One of the primary advantages of the work@home program is that it creates a cost advantage. Having employees work at home as opposed to in-facility is significantly less costly. According to Table A in the case‚ annual recurring costs for each individual working in-facility is around $10‚650. That is over twice the recurring cost of the average work@home employee with an ISDN connection and over 20 times the annual recurring cost of a work@home employee

Heat and Temperature Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same‚ but they are not.” Heat and Temperature‚ para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place
