Write your answers to the following question in Short Essay Format: Question 1A. Question 1B should be done in a Table Format. Be sure to include reasons and facts as required to support your answers. Cite examples

 

Project format: Each page must be typed in 12-point Times New Roman or similar typeface, 1” margins on all sides, singled-spaced. Please remember to correct misspellings and grammatical errors. On the first page, in the upper right hand corner, place your name, class title (TECH 454 – Environmental Engineering), and the date. Also on the first page, below the name block, place the title: “Project 2”. Number your answers for each question. (45 points total) One way to manage today’s excessive municipal solid waste (MSW) output is to incinerate it. Waste incineration has two benefits: one is that landfills won’t fill and close as quickly, and the other is that burning the waste can produce energy. It is estimated that up to 90% (by volume) of waste can be kept out of landfills by incinerating it. Waste incinerators have been around for a long time, but were phased out in the 1970s due to pollution concerns and other negative effects on the environment. Today’s waste-to-energy facilities are making a comeback and it is due in large part to technological improvements that reduce the amount of pollution.

1. (25 points) Describe how waste can be used to generate energy from burning municipal solid waste and discuss the current ways of pollution control for landfills. Can the ash left behind from the burning operations be used, or should it be disposed of in a landfill?

2. (20 points) Table Format. Suppose an incineration facility costs your city $50 million to build. The facility would be capable of burning 750 tons of waste per day producing 15 megawatts of electricity, which can be sold for $0.075 per kilowatt. It will cost nothing additional to take the waste to the facility, as opposed to paying $90 a ton fee to have it buried in a landfill. How long will it take for the waste-burning facility to pay for itself?  Ignore operating costs.  Assume the facility operates 24/7, 365 days a year.

GENV 205 Greenhouse Effects Lab

/in /by
Greenhouse Effects Lab
Objective:
To have students observe the greenhouse effect and analyze its effect on Earth.
Time:
This lab will take approximately 1 hour.
Materials:
 2- or 3-liter plastic soda bottles (3 bottles per group)  Lamp (100 watt or greater)  One-hole stopper that fits in the mouth of the bottle  1 sheet of black paper and 1 sheet of white paper  Thermometer  Ruler or meter stick  Tape
Procedure:
1. Each group should obtain a plastic soda bottle.  Take the stopper and insert it into the mouth of the bottle.
2. CAREFULLY insert the thermometer into the stopper so that it hangs in the middle of the bottle.  You might want to use petroleum jelly to help get the thermometer through the stopper without breaking it.
3. Record the initial temperature of the air in the bottle before turning on the lamp. 4. Position the bottle so that it is 15 cm from the lamp. 5. Turn the light on and watch the temperature change.  Once the temperature has
not changed for approximately 3 minutes, record the final temperature in the data table that follows.
6. Take the white piece of paper and wrap it around half of the second bottle.  Tape the paper on.  Repeat steps 4 to 6 and record.
7. Take the black piece of paper and wrap it around half of the third bottle.  Tape the paper on.  Repeat steps 4 to 6 and record.
Data:
Bottle Initial temperature
Final temperature
Without paper
With white paper
With black paper
Analysis:
1. How do the bottles represent Earth?
2. Explain the natural greenhouse effect and why it is important to our planet. How many degrees would earth be different without the Greehouse effect?
3. Why did the lab have you cover the bottle with white and black paper?  What does this represent?
4. List all the chemicals that have been linked to climate change, both natural and anthropogenic. Differentiate between GWP of different gases.
5. How is global warming affecting the environment? What are major impacts on the environment caused by climate change?

Biomes, Development, Pollution, And You

/in /by

Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You

Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region.

Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area.

For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes:

  • Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity.
  • Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores.
  • Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures.
  • Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity.
  • Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity.
  • Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity.
  • Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity.
  • Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies.
  • Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs.
  • Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:

  • Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted.
  • Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution.
  • List any species that have become extinct in this biome.

Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Soils Assignment – Environmental Science

/in /by

Please let me know if the assignment can be completed by 10:00 am tomorrow!  Requirements below!

 

Use the Natural Resources Conservation Service web site (Web soil survey http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/HomePage.htm) to gather soils data from five (5) different locations across Louisiana. Make sure you sample from across the state.
For each of the sampled associations, record in an Excel spreadsheet the following data (each should be in column, each column should be labeled):

o o o o o

Name of the soil or soil association
Average elevation where soil is found
Average slope where the soil is found
Depth to water table (if it says “more than 80 inches” use 120) Typical soil profile depth (do not include bedrock in the depth)

Hand in your spreadsheet with your observations.

 

Use your data to make scatter plots of the relationships listed below. Do not

connect your points with a line. Include a best-fit linear regression in all of your plots. Make sure that you also include on the graph the R2 value for the best-fit line. Remember to label your axes (include units). Hand in each of your plots. (14 points)

o Depth to water table (y-axis) vs. average elevation (x-axis) o Depth to water table (y-axis) vs. average slope (x-axis)
o Depth to water table (y-axis) vs. soil profile depth (x-axis) o Soil profile depth (y-axis) vs. average slope (x-axis)

 

Type your answers to the following questions. Use complete sentences (but you can probably answer all of these in a paragraph or two).
You can answer these in a paragraph or even a few sentences.

1. Which two relationships have the highest R2 values? Do these relationship make physical sense to you? Explain why you think there is a correlation between these variables. (2 points)
2. Which two relationships have the lowest R2 values? Explain why you think there is less

 

of a correlation between these variables. (2 points)
3. The depth to the water table is important for growing crops. If you were planning to start a farm, what other soil variables would you like to know about that are not included in the spreadsheet you compiled above? Why? (2 points)

Discussion Title: Creating Greener Products

 

Share another strategy for sustainable design we have not touched on. In your responses to colleagues, give a specific example of how one of the design strategies posted by a classmate is supported by, or supports, ecological economics and/or systems thinking

Share another strategy for sustainable design we have not touched on. In your responses to colleagues, give a specific example of how one of the design strategies posted by a classmate is supported by, or supports, ecological economics and/or systems thinking.

Here we go!

Looking back to Module 3 we  reviewed the environmental regulations which surround the designing and production of products.  In modules 2 and 3 we addressed the importance of leadership initiative as well as compliance with environmental regulations.

 

We are now moving into Module 4!  Module 4 launches our review of green production. This module will explore specific green design and manufacturing frameworks.  Our three objectives this week include: •Discuss key sustainability design frameworks •Evaluate the changing nature of green products •Identify potential opportunities and liabilities in “greening” a company’s products

 

Assignment! This week you will review The article “Green Product Design”.  The article was written eight years ago, and while its key concepts are still correct, are all of its conclusions? Research one of its conclusions and share how it may have changed in the intervening years. Write a short analysis paper that summarizes your findings. (Check out the short paper rubric- aim for 2-3 pages of content in your words).

Team Project- Make sure to review the frameworks provided and work with your team to select an appropriate framework and suggest how your company can integrate the framework into their business. If the company has already integrated the framework, describe how they have done so and the results. Integrate the results of your work into Memo 2 of the project.
