Industrial Engineering

Your answer is based on opinion, not facts. By facts the five most powerful nations in the world (based on economy, alliances, military, etc.)

1. America

2. Russia

3. China

4. Germany

5. France

The British were the ones closest to taking over the world, 2/3 of it. This is incorrect,America is a continent containing many large & prosperous or potentially prosperous countries,and not a Nation.You probably mean the USA,also the UK should be in 4th place,followed by France and then Germany,otherwise your list is OK.

By strength, if you mean durability, then i'd think it was steel

iron corrodes pretty easily

- Z short term=6 - Z long term=4.5 in the 6sigma approach. Don't know in reality if a Z of 6 is often used in short term...

micromotion is the most refined technique for the analysis of an existing work center. videotapes or motion pictures and using frame-by-frame are used to uncover every possible opportunity for improvement.

There is no rat hole equipment. A rat hole is a section of the well drilled to allow the entry of electric logging equipment or for use as a space to drop perforating guns inot leaving the perforated zone free of obstruction

If your are talking about the equipment to drill the rat hole for the conductor pipe, mobile auger rigs are used to drill a 24 to 30 diameter shaft 40 to perhaps 250 feet deep. A conductor pipe is then set in the drilled hole to the design depth and grouted to fill the annulus and seal the conductor pipe with the surrounding soil/rock. This process is particularly critical in gas well production and in some parts of the country require deeper conductors to improve safety and provide the necessary foundation for the oil/gas well rig and the blow-out prevention (BOP) devise that can be quiet large and heavy.

In some areas, like Western Colorado, where the desire to minimize the environmental impact of well site development is growing, some operators may install as many as 24 conductor pipes on a single location for directional drilling.

A barometer is an instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure. It does so by comparing the atmospheric pressure with a predefined standard pressure.

Shapes like triangles are strong in tension and compression due to their ability to distribute forces evenly across their three sides, preventing deformation. Arches and domes are also effective in compression, as their curved structure efficiently transfers loads downward. In contrast, long and slender shapes, like beams, are typically stronger in tension than compression, as they can withstand stretching forces better than buckling under compressive loads. Overall, the geometric configuration plays a crucial role in determining a shape's strength in tension or compression.

specification means to be accurate. A brief is a lesson or an explanation.

It depends upon what kind of tape it is, how the graduations are sized, what tension the tape is held at, and (for a surveyor's tape) whether the first foot or dm is forward or backward from the zero point.

The metal element of Iron (Fe) was never "invented" as it has existed across the Universe for billions of years. That being said humanity is thought to have first exploited Fe for industrial and social uses some 3500+ years ago. Since the use of Fe has become an inseparable aspect to modernity through steels and other metal working. Although Fe was never invented, it was to be discovered, exploited and refined through human technology.

Well do you really think that i know? By the way Connor is WAYY cooler than Liam!

The first steam-powered boat was a paddle steamer built in France but the idea was not developed any further. Similar boats were made in 1785 in Philadelphia and in Scotland. But, commercially viable steamboats were not made until the beginning of the 19th century.

The crucial elements in the financing of infrastructure investment is first assessing the severity of each risk and then identifying the party in the best position to manage a risk. The three broad stages in an infrastructure project with different risk profiles and financing requirements may be identified as follows: Development risk: The initial very high-risk phase where only equity capital can be used for financing. Construction risk: The next high-risk phase where cost and time spillovers tend to distort the future revenue generation and profitability prospects of the project. The construction phase may be financed by a combination of equity and debt with guarantees. Operating risk: This risk emerges due to underestimation of operating costs and occasionally, an overestimation of the output from the proposed infrastructure facility. Since the pricing of infrastructure services is monitored closely by the government, the burden of underestimation of operating costs cannot be passed on entirely to the users. However, the operation phase is considered to be relatively low-risk and may be financed through bond issues. The operation phase may, in turn be divided into the introductory operation phase and project stabilization phase. During the introductory operating phase, the revenue stream is thin and operational bottlenecks hinder achievement of high-capacity utilization. It is only during the project stabilization stage that risks reduce considerably and revenues are more steady and predictable. Besides the above, there are other risks: Demand risk: This is a result of an overestimation of the demand and "willingness to pay" for the proposed infrastructure facility. In several cases, like the toll road network in Mexico, the demand for the facility is high but inadequate willingness to pay on the part of the users has raised serious questions about the future of such projects. Financial risk: Of specific relevance to infrastructure projects are foreign exchange and interest rate risks. Given that infrastructure projects involve costs and revenues in the local currency, the foreign exchange exposure taken for such investments, especially in the nature of off-shore debt, can prove to be risky. The interest rate risk emanates from the dependence on long-term debt for meeting capital costs. Market risk: This is important when consumers can choose alternative services such as with toll roads, railways and even ports. Occasionally, the Government absorbs this risk explicitly or by default. In a Mexico toll road, the Government awarded the concession guaranteeing a minimum amount of traffic. If this could not be achieved, then the concession period would be extended. It is difficult to hedge against market risk. However, when there is a single buyer for the output, the market risk is taken by the purchaser. Political risk: Inadequate clarity in Government policies and selection procedures has made political risk the fulcrum of infrastructure development. With an increase in the clarity in and conviction behind government policies, the extent of political risk is expected to decrease sharply. This risk profile would be the guiding map in designing financing packages for infrastructure investments. Despite these features, projects are rarely staggered or executed in an incremental manner. This is primarily due to the nature of the transaction and negotiation costs involved, which rarely vary with the size of the project. For example, the efforts made by a private sponsor for negotiating a 500 MW power plant would be comparable to the efforts required for a 1,500 MW projects. This adds to the lumpiness of the investments.

Industrial exploitation is when customers are blindly or uninformed of / about a product which is faulty or has malfunctions well known to the manufacturer or designer.

Free carbon in cast iron refers to carbon that exists in its elemental form within the iron matrix. It appears as graphite flakes or nodules, contributing to the material's unique properties, such as high fluidity during casting and improved machinability. This free carbon distinguishes cast iron from other metals.

A beach groyne works when you put a groyne on the water (usually made of timber, bamboo, or other materials), the only source for a groyne is so that the whole beach/island doesn't "wash away" and all of it's sand get washed off into the ocean.
