Ecosystem services

Introduction
Human beings depend on the environment for various services. The biosphere and its ecosystems provide these services. The ecosystem is characterized by cycling of elements through air and waterways. The ecosystems provide direct or indirect support to human well-being. Four types of ecosystems services include provisioning, cultural, regulating and supporting services (Barbier & Heal, 2006, p. 2). Provisioning services include food, fiber, timber, water and medicines. Regulating services arise from the initiatives aimed at regulating the ecosystems processes. They include climate regulation, water purification, natural hazard mitigation, waste management and pest control. Cultural services include intellectual, recreational and spiritual Continue reading...

An evaluation of the feasibility of different techniques for providing fresh water to arid regions of the world

Many areas in the world are arid, according to Howard et al. (2010 p.26) it is appraised that 30 percent of the total land in the world is semi-arid or arid. These areas do not have water bodies like rivers and lakes to supply them with fresh water and those that have these resources are seasonal and cannot support life throughout the year. Water is a valuable resource for life and serves humankind in domestic capacity, agriculture, tourism, energy, and industrialization. In addition to limited water access, these areas also face the problem of quality deterioration resulting from changes Continue reading...

Climate Change and Asthma

Human activity has created increased atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gases, which has resulted in global climate change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2001). There is scientific consensus that human activity has changed the Earth’s climate, with a variety of adverse reactions. Recent research has predicted that global climate change is likely to have an effect on asthma rates worldwide in the future (Beggs and Bambrick 2006). Asthma rates have increased from 7.3 percent of the population to 8.4 percent over the last decade. Other research suggests the observed increase in asthma could be due to Continue reading...

Question 1:

The recent slump in oil prices has raised questions about the prospects for alternative energy sources. However, in today’s global markets, the historic correlation between oil prices and the demand for alternative energy has been weakened by the fact that these two types of energy sources are used for totally different purposes. Oil is mainly used in transportation while alternative sources such as solar, biofuel and wind are used for electricity generation (Day, 2014). From basic economic principles, oil and alternative energy sources are not substitutes since a price decline of one does not constitute a subsequent decrease Continue reading...

In recent years, the problem with the environment has become a very important issue and one of the most discussed themes in the world. The history of waste can be traced back for many centuries; however, the seriousness of this issue grew together with urbanization as well as growing population. Moreover, until the industrial revolution the quantity of produced waste was not big. Nevertheless, starting from 1870’s waste management policies became inseparable from our lives in which industry plays a very important role (Barles in Agnoletti and Serner 199). Nowadays, water, energy and food are mainly the three Continue reading...

An electrical grid refers to an interconnected system that transfers electricity from suppliers to the consumers (Amin & Stringer, 2008). It is composed of several stations where electricity is produced then shifted to demand centers and lastly to the customers. Power stations are situated near the energy source, for example, a dam or near the source of various renewable energies, which is mostly in a sparsely populated area (Amin & Stringer, 2008). The electricity produced at the power station is usually in very high voltage, and it is transferred through transmission networks to the electricity companies. Here the power voltage is Continue reading...

Abstract

Reciprocating compressors are pumps that force gasses into a limited and confined space thereby converting electric or chemical energy into potential energy by raising pressures. Reciprocating compressors are some of the most important equipment in many industrial setups. Large and critical industries such as gas pipelines, petroleum refineries, and petrochemical industries heavily depend on compressors. Poor compressor performance or faults could lead to high losses if operations stall or slow down due to inefficient compressor operation. Therefore, compressor selection, operation and maintenance are very important aspects of plant design and operation.

Introduction

A gas compressor system adds potential energy to Continue reading...

Electricity is an essential facet of every country’s growth and development. It is the pillar of a country’s development as it plays significant roles in the agricultural sector as well in the industrial sector during the production of goods and services. Nonetheless, most countries are struggling with acute power situations because of insufficient power plants in the national electrical grid systems and lack of renewable to support these plants during peak load. The way forward to the poor electricity situation in many countries is the integration of various renewable energy sources into the national electrical grid systems. Continue reading...
