potent fuel mixture you can find. You may have heard of a type of racing called “Top Fuel”, it is the fastest type of racing in the world. Where your car may push out around 200 horsepower, the Top Fuel cars can have up to 10,000 horsepower, they can get to over 300 mph in less than 4 seconds. This insane speed is due to their massive engines, and very potent fuel, nitromethane. A 4 stroke engine has four steps to complete one cycle. First, there is the intake stroke; this is where the fuel mixture
How to Calculate the G Forces in NHRA Drag Racing In the sport of professional drag racing gravity takes on an entirely different meaning while accelerating these monsters down the track at speeds in excess of 330 miles per hour. The force exerted on the driver is known as G force. In this short journey down the track, the formula to calculate the forces exerted on the driver will be demonstrated. Next the forces exerted on the driver in the individual classes of cars. Then at the end of the
“So, you play club soccer?” a raspy male voice from behind me croaked. I was afraid to turn around because in my mind there would be a peculiar stalker who had spent the last couple years of his life gathering detailed information of my personal life. I cautiously swiveled my head around. “Yeah, I do...how did you... how did…” He cut me off. “Strikers FC…” I nodded my head even though he had not answered anything and had made my stalker suspicion even worse. He picked up on my bluff
heating water using different alcohols as fuels and measuring the amount of fuel consumed. From working out how much fuel has been used I can work out how much bond energy has released from the molecules of the alcohol. From those results I will be able to say which alcohol is the best for combustion and which one is the worst to combust. · A good fuel should produce a lot of heat energy and use a small amount of fuel. (economical) · A bad fuel uses a lot of fuel and produces less heat energy. (non-economical)
Experiment to Find Out Which Fuel Produces Most Energy Aim === My objective in this piece of coursework is to determine which of five fuels produces the most energy and if the energy production relates to the amount of carbons.. The fuels are Ethanol, Propanol, Propan-2-ol, Butanol and Butan-2-ol. Setting up the practical. Because there are some restrictions on the time we are going to have to perform the experiment, we are first going to find out a set up that would allow us
The link between the number of carbon atoms in a fuel with the amount of energy it releases Alcohols generally belong to compounds whose molecules are based on chains of carbon atoms. They usually contain one oxygen atom, which is joined to a carbon atom by a singular bond. This makes them different to other compounds. The oxygen atom is joined to the hydrogen atom as well as the carbon atom, which makes the oxygen a part of a hydroxyl group. These atoms are generally a part of a hydrocarbon chain
Investigating Which Alcohol is the Best Fuel AIM: I am carrying out an investigation to see which alcohol is the best fuel. I will do this by experimenting with different alcohols and setting them alight and measuring different factors. I will analyse all my results and try to discover patterns, which should help me to conclude which alcohol is the best fuel. PLAN ==== This is how my experiment will be set out: ========================================== Keeping this
economy and people are not afraid to “splurge” a bit on external enjoyment. There has been a recent surge in activity sports as the X Games just took place and were aired in 48 states. Skateboarding, extreme roller blading, and skydiving are among the top of the list. 3) How will the previous affect your marketing or promotional plans? We are privately funded, so the strength in the economy will help us with sales. Therefore, we will be using promotions and advertising to pull in good repeat customers
communication and perception when pursuing a goal. Implement Information An organization that can make decisions faster, and change direction at the “drop of a hat”, is more versatile and will most likely survive longer. “Old time” decisions that were made by top management or a board of directors, could take a while to trickle down the ranks and actually be implemented in the process. Teams that are given the authority to make quick decisions can get things done faster, and are more responsive to the customer
Further, ZZ Top has appropriated the musical style of what Cook referred to as, “Black Americans in the deep South.” In addition, the ZZ Top video is recognizably ignorant of any appreciative contribution of the blues culture that is their music. It is almost as if they are deriding the origin of the blues. Therefore, ZZ Top’s
Shirley Temple Black was easily the most popular and famous child star of all time. She got her start in the movies at the age of three and soon progressed to super stardom. Shirley could do it all: act, sing and dance and all at the age of five! Fans loved her as she was bright, bouncy and cheerful in her films and they ultimately bought millions of dollars worth of products that had her likeness on them. Dolls, phonograph records, mugs, hats, dresses, whatever it was, if it had her picture on there
first assumption and contention, I’d have to disagree. According to Ackoff, it seems that only certain information is useful, while the other is useless and it overburdens the managers. Therefore, top management usually receives filtered input that subordinates have carefully screened several times. However, top management needs more information and data, more qualitative input, and less formal analysis than it receives. Sometimes, the useful information might seem useless at one time, may become more
our characters, the five girls in our group were able to elaborate on then, using the techniques of our practitioner, Stanisvlaski, to create a full character from the narrative in our selected poems. Caryl Churchill’s play “Top Girls” was also an influence on us. The play “Top Girls” shows the audience famous women from the past having a dinner party together and discussing their experiences to one another. This is not unlike our devised drama and influenced us to choose the setting of a gathering
at each level needs need to be recognized, as does the fact that from top, strategic management to clerical and shop floor workers, all the members have varying needs regarding information systems. The general pyramid-shaped hierarchy is the most common organizational structure found in businesses. At the bottom are the clerical and shop floor workers, then the operational managers, next are the middle managers, and at the top are the senior managers. The largest group is the clerical and shop floor
about branding process. Problems Although Boeing’s top management considered this company as a top global brand, critics believed this company did not make adequate changes in regard to its growth, in other words, did not adapt itself to 21st century. Public was thinking of Boeing as a traditional company which does not promote its public image as other similar corporation does. Business Week’s survey suggested that Boeing received no rank among top best 100 companies by public in year 2000. In order

five profitable years with increasing sales during the same period. GM has also paid a fixed dividend to its shareholders over the same period. The one-year, which was below average for GM, was 1998. During this period, GM was restructuring its top management and operations and also incurred a union strike of 54 days. However, GM did return to better performance in 1999 and 2000. GM overall was able to attain a fixed dividend of $2.00 per share and increase the shareholders value over the past
organizational design choices and the design of IT infrastructure. The alignment is said to be the most common and widely understood perspective, as it corresponds to the classic, hierarchical view of strategic management. Driver: Business Strategy Role of Top Management: Strategy Formulator Role of IT Management: Strategy Implementer Performance Criteria: Cost/Service Center 2. Technology transformation This alignment involves the assessment of implementing the chosen business strategy through appropriate
recognizing your company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and lastly mapping out a course in which to take the company from its current to its desired position (Policastro). Strategic planning has historically been taken care of by top management every one to ten years. A little history; “by the early 1980s, as U.S. companies...
The Green Mile starts off with cotton fields which ironically represents what Coffey was treated as. Coffey comes into the prison as a man with not a whole lot of money as a sharecropper or a migrant worker. Coffey’s black male stereotype represents what slaves were taught to be uneducated, dumb, but strong to do all the labor work. Coffey appears to never wear shoes and has jean overalls with holes in it. He also has markings that look like whip marks on his arm. Coffey suffers and is in a constant
