Go online and search for information about companies that have been harmed or bankrupted by a disaster. Choose one such company

and create a brief case study about it. Successful narratives will focus on the manner in which the organization was impacted, including financial losses, losses of sales, or the need for layoffs.

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

In recent times and in the past, so many companies have been dealt with or bankrupted by disaster.

This disasters are in the form of floods, earthquake and tsunami. This has led to many companies across world to have faced problem. As Japan is particularly vulnerable to natural disaster because of its climate and topography let me take example of japan .The tsunami that struck Japan in March this year which has lead to a debt of worth nearly $8 billion due to failed businesses. A total of 341 firms in japan with a combined 6,376 employees has got affected by this disaster.

One of company that hit hard by these disaster is Toyota. Toyota is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. Actually due to flood in thailand toyota has faced a big loss. As flood hit thailand the parts of vehicle which is produced in thailand has stopped . It leads to interruption in the supply chain of some Thailand made components.

This lead to suspension of production as thai made component was unavailable.It has been reported until the situation of thailand will be good toyota plants in Indiana, Kentucky and Ontario, Canada, will be shut down . And production rate at plant in North America will get slow down .This flood leads to a loss of 37500 vehicles .Due to this reason toyota was forced to open its plants in Southeast asian country just to enhance the production rate.Sales of vehicle has also got reduced in thailand . Hence toyota faced a total loss of 1.6 billion dollar.

In Nigeria, due to the insurgency of the Boko Haram, many companies have entirely stopped operations in some regions, this harsh realities leads to massive loss of revenue for such companies.

Carbon dioxide at a temperature of 0oC and a pressure of 600 kPa (abs) flows through a horizontal 40-mm- diameter pipe with an a
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

f = 0.04042

Explanation:

temperature = 0°C = 273k

p = 600 Kpa

d = 40 millemeter

e = 10 m

change in  P = 235 N/m²

μ = 2m/s

R = 188.9 Nm/kgk

we solve this using this formula;

P = ρcos*R*T

we put in the values into this equation

600x10³ = ρcos * 188.9 * 273

600000 = ρcos51569.7

ρcos = 600000/51569.7

=11.63

from here we find the head loss due to friction

Δp/pg = feμ²/2D

235/11.63 = f*10*4/2*40x10⁻³

20.21 = 40f/0.08

20.21*0.08 = 40f

1.6168 = 40f

divide through by 40

f = 0.04042

A vacuum pump is used to drain a basement of 20 °C water (with a density of 998 kg/m3 ). The vapor pressure of water at this tem
lord [1]

Answer:

The maximum theoretical height that the pump can be placed above liquid level is \Delta h=9.975\,m

Explanation:

To pump the water, we need to avoid cavitation. Cavitation is a phenomenon in which liquid experiences a phase transition into the vapour phase because pressure drops below the liquid's vapour pressure at that temperature.  As a liquid is pumped upwards, it's pressure drops. to see why, let's look at Bernoulli's equation:

\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h +\frac{1}{2}  \Delta v^2 =0

(\rho stands here for density, h for height)

Now, we are assuming that there aren't friction losses here. If we assume further that the fluid is pumped out at a very small rate, the velocity term would be negligible, and we get:

\frac{\Delta P}{\rho}+g\, \Delta h  =0

\Delta P= -g\, \rho\, \Delta h

This means that pressure drop is proportional to the suction lift's height.

We want the pressure drop to be small enough for the fluid's pressure to be always above vapour pressure, in the extreme the fluid's pressure will be almost equal to vapour pressure.

That means:

\Delta P = 2.34\,kPa- 100 \,kPa = -97.66 \, kPa\\

We insert that into our last equation and get:

\frac{ \Delta P}{ -g\, \rho\,}= \Delta h\\\Delta h=\frac{97.66 \, kPa}{998 kg/m^3 \, \, 9.81 m/s^2} \\\Delta h=9.975\,m

And that is the absolute highest height that the pump could bear. This, assuming that there isn't friction on the suction pipe's walls, in reality the height might be much less, depending on the system's pipes and pump.

The lattice constant of a simple cubic primitive cell is 5.28 Å. Determine the distancebetween the nearest parallel ( a ) (100),
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

a)5.28 Å , b)3.73 Å , c)3.048 Å

Explanation:

the atoms are situated only at the corners of cube.Each and every atom in simple cubic primitive at the corner is shared with 8 adjacent unit cells.

Therefore, a particular unit cell consist only 1/8th part of an atom.

The lattice constant of a simple cubic primitive cell is 5.28 Å

We know formula of distance,

d = \frac{a}{\sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}+l^{2}}}

a)(100)

a=5.28 Å

Distance = \frac{5.28 Å}{\sqrt{1^{2}+0^{2}+0^{2}}}=5.28 Å

b)(110)

Distance = \frac{5.28}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+0^{2}}} = 3.73 Å

c)(111)

Distance= \frac{5.28}{\sqrt{1^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}}= 3.048 Å

It is true about Metals and alloys: a)-They are good electrical and thermal conductors b)-They can be used as semi-conductors c)
ycow [4]

Answer:

(d) a and c are correct

Explanation:

METALS : Metal are those materials which has very high ductility, high modulus of elasticity, good thermal and electrical conductivity

for example : iron, gold ,silver, copper

ALLOYS: Alloys are those materials which are made up of combining of two or more than two metals these also have good thermal and electrical conductivity and me liable property

for example ; bronze and brass

so from above discussion it is clear that option (d) will be the correct option
