You may have experienced the “new car smell” when getting into a new vehicle, or experienced this same odor sensation when walking into a new home or office shortly after completed construction.  What might be the chemical reason for this “new” smell that you may be experiencing?

WEATHER DATA

This assignment asks you to conduct an accuracy analysis of daily weather forecasts over a 30-day period. You are required to submit two deliverables: a 30-day weather log and your analysis paper.

Weather Log

Download the “Weather Log,” which you may use to track the weather over a 30-day period. Alternately, you may create your own weather log.

Select a single weather forecast source, for example, a TV station, radio station, website, or newspaper. Be sure to stick with the source you have selected for the duration of this project. You may but are not required to use one of the following recommended sources:

Track the forecasted and actual weather each day for 30 days in your weather log. If possible, track each of the following weather elements:

  • Daily high temperature—Record the maximum for the day.
  • Air pressure—Use decreasing/increasing if you do not have a barometric setting.
  • Humidity—Predict rain, snow, and so forth including intensity, and include percentage if known.
  • Cloud cover—Record whether overcast (8/8 cloud cover); broken (5/8-7/8 cloud cover); scattered (3/8-4/8 cloud cover); few (0 to 2/8 cloud cover); or clear (no clouds).
  • Precipitation—Record the type and intensity.
  • Visibility—Record the measurement if known, or describe.
  • Wind—Record the direction blowing from and speed if forecasted.

Use the comments section to note items of interest and observations that will help you write the analysis.

Weather Analysis Paper

Refer to the “How to Write the 30-Day Weather Analysis Paper” guide for information on writing and formatting this paper.

Write a 6-page (not including the weather log) paper that analyzes the accuracy of your selected source’s weather forecasts over a 30-day period. The paper should consider the following questions:

  • Overall, how accurate was your source in forecasting weather over the 30-day analysis period? What contributed to the accuracy (or inaccuracy of the forecast)?
  • Which elements were most accurately forecast? Which elements were least accurately forecast? Why?
  • Do you see any trends or correlations between weather elements?
  • Did a front move through the forecasted area? What changes were observed? What were the characteristics of the front?
  • Did the weather during your 30-day period deviate from the historical weather in that period? Were there any anomalies? What might be the cause?

Cite any sources and provide links, if possible.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

ACID RAIN

Lab Report Format

This Individual Lab Report format is required for all (6 in total) required laboratory investigations. All reports must be typed and include raw data from the investigation.

The General Lab Reports must contain the following:

· Student/Lab Identification

· Results and Raw Data

· Graphs

· Data Summary

· References

Student/Lab Identification The student identification should contain the lab name, date, student name and instructor name. Title should be centered and bold at the top of the first page of text.

Results and Raw Data This section should include a table of all data collected during investigation.

Graphs                                         Graphs are a tool, much as a calculator. They allow you to represent a lot of data in a very short space. Graphs allow you to analyze data in interesting ways, but graphs do not make an analysis.

Data Summary The data summary section should 1) show an understanding of the data, and 2) offer an analysis of the data that draws conclusions from the data, including the available quantitative (that is, the numerical) information that is in the table.  It will also be essential that you communicate this clearly to the reader. This part of the lab will be graded on how well these tasks are completed.  You should be careful to use all the data that you have collected in this summary!   Before you can do this, presenting the data properly in a table is essential to complete the task of understanding the data and making something of it, so it is important that earlier task be done well.  Also, to understand the data, it may be necessary to spend a little time on the Internet to get a little background on any aspects that you are not familiar with.  So these are  important aspects of the lab – to show that you have been able to organize information (your set of data) and then extract meaning from it.

INDUSTRIAL AND HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT

This unit has assessed engineering principles applicable to industrial and hazardous waste management. Steps were evaluated for an adsorption system design using engineering principles and presenting engineering calculations for waste treatment.

The steps in the lesson were accomplished by the required reading of an article describing laboratory adsorption tests for lead and zinc removal. The lesson used the article’s data combined with engineering principles to design a prototype lead treatment system, and a required article presented a novel method for reducing leather tanning waste.

For this assignment, prepare a PowerPoint presentation that assesses engineering principles applicable to industrial and hazardous waste management by evaluating steps for an adsorption system design using engineering principles and presenting engineering calculations for waste treatment.

Specifically address the following items in your PowerPoint presentation.

  • Provide a title and introduction.
  • Summarize the Durga, Ramesh, Rose, and Muralidharan Required Unit Resources article.
  • List the steps required for design of a prototype adsorption system.
  • From Required Unit Resources, use the Yusuff and Olateju article’s equation (7) for the Radke-Prausnitz isotherm to evaluate qe for a Ce lead concentration of 10 mg/L. Show your calculation.
  • Explain how your value of qe determined from the equation compares to the value in Yusuff and Olateju’s article exhibit 10a. Do you think there is an error in the equation? Explain.
  • In the unit lesson, if the prototype’s wastewater flow is 500 gpd instead of 100 gpd and the influent lead concentration is still 10 mg/L, what would be the lead inflow rate in units of grams per day? Show your calculation.

FIRE PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY

Part 6: Scenario-Based Case Study

For this assignment, you will submit Part 6 of the scenario-based case study course project, which is due in Unit VIII. You should evaluate and revise the recommendations as needed during the process for each previous unit as you learn more during the progression of this course. Please continue to draw upon your imagination to think creatively on potential concerns with fire and explosive hazards, fire controls, and fire and emergency management. Look at fire protection technology in a holistic way that is significantly different from what was previously designed by thinking in isolation. You will evaluate and develop recommendations to resolve potential fires in the future.

Section I

As you make suggestions to improve the standpipe and hose systems, refer back to the background information, if needed, to provide you with the necessary material to identify the basic components common to fire protection for the City of Washington Distribution Warehouse. In addition, review the Points to Ponder Scenario in the Unit VI Lesson for additional information.

This assignment is not looking for compliance with building codes nor expecting you to be a fire protection system designer. However, the purpose of this assignment is for you to apply the concepts and knowledge you learned in this unit as you begin writing your final project covering protection systems, which will detect, contain, control, and extinguish a fire. This assignment provides you with the opportunity to use your skills, expertise, and experience to enrich your response.

Prepare a well-organized narrative addressing the standpipe and hose systems and your recommendations after reviewing the background information and information above. Your discussion will consist of your evaluation of the previous standpipe and hose system, including classification and components, using information from the textbook and any additional research needed for your recommendations for the rebuild of the warehouse, including any impairments to standpipe and hose systems.

Section II

Read the Points to Ponder Scenario in the unit lesson before responding to this section. What are the various factors surrounding the ignition of cooking oil fires involving intermediate bulk container totes? What is the most effective extinguishing method for cooking oil fires? Consider the fire dynamics of cooking oil on the design of fire protection.

For this assignment, you will write a two-page narrative (one page per section) supporting your position. Use APA level one headings for each section. The heading should be indicative of the major section to follow. You must have a title page and references page. You may use information from reputable, reliable journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. You should use at least three sources, one of which must be your textbook. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations following proper APA style.
