Suppose that we have a reservoir that has a surface area of 50 acres, with an average depth when full of 15 meters. [Conversion: 1 acre = 4096.86 square meters] If the reservoir were to start out with a depth of 0 meters and eventually be filled to a depth of 15 meters, (1) how much volume of water will have been added in the filling of the reservoir from 0 meters depth to 15 meters depth?

(2) What mass of water does this added volume of water have?

(3) How much potential energy increase takes place when all this water was raised from a river at an average elevation of 200 meters so that the water in the upper reservoir has an average elevation of 300 meters. (Note: For simplicity, just take the height change of the water to be 100 meters from the river to the reservoir, thus neglect that some water moves from the river to a slightly different heights as the surface of the reservoir rises. This is what was meant by saying the water in the upper reservoir has an average elevation of 300 meters.)

(4) How much power will be available to a city from the reservoir if 2 % of the water (i.e., stored energy) in the full reservoir is drained in ½ hour through the turbine that generates electricity? To help to provide context for the answer you will get, there is a power plant located at Mt. Tom Junction (which you can see if you travel south on route 91 near where Easthampton meets Holyoke). It was recently decommissioned, but used to burn coal (1200 tons per day) to create steam to spin turbines to generate electricity and had an advertised power production capacity of 146 megawatts (mega = million). Such a water storage arrangement can be used to quickly supplement such a power plant when the needs for energy fluctuate, or when there is short-term high demand. This plant used to be able to provide more than twice the needs of the city of Holyoke.

On this related web site, (http://www.northfieldrelicensing.com/Pages/Northfield.aspx ) note that the specifics of the energy storage system used by this power plant at its Northfield site are similar to the case we have calculated here. (5) On that site, see how many megawatts of power (Powerhouse section - historic station capacity) can be delivered by the Northfield reservoir when the water flows down through a total of four turbines. What is that number? Be careful to get your number from the section of the web page that mentions the four turbines and the historic capacity.

Now this Mt. Tom power plant used to use 1200 tons of coal per day to create 146 megawatts of power. As noted, the coal is burned, heats water to make steam, the steam turns turbines and electricity is generated. Other things can turn turbines. For example, a windmill has a set of blades that cause the shaft to which they are attached to turn when the wind blows. This shaft turns a turbine and that generates electricity. Let’s take a look at a farm of such windmills. There is an approved project to create a windmill farm off the coast of Cape Cod in Nantucket Sound. It is said that the windmill farm will generate 1,491,384 megawatt hours of energy per typical year. Recall that the kilowatt hour is a unit of energy. So is the megawatt hour, it is just bigger.

(6) So, how many joules of energy will this be per year? That fossil fuel power plant at Mt. Tom Junction produced 146 Megawatts of power.

(7) If it did this continuously for one year, how may joules of electrical energy could the coal-burning Mt. Tom power plant produce over the entire year?

(8) Compare this number with the one you got for the wind farm. Is the number roughly comparable? Here is a web site that talks about how much carbon dioxide is created when a ton of coal is burned. (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_carbon_dioxide_does_a_ton_of_coal_produce)

(9) Look at that site, presume that the Mt. Tom power plant burned bituminous coal (as opposed to some other kind), and compute how many pounds of carbon dioxide per year were introduced into the atmosphere by the Mt. Tom coal-fired power plant. Wind farms that replace coal-fired power plants help reduce greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide). Just as a comment: a maple or birch tree that is 25 years old will absorb about 3 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per year, but this depends on the type of tree. A 25 year old white or red pine will absorb about 14 pounds per year. Deforestation in various places eliminates the natural ability of such trees to clean the atmosphere. Take a look here http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Co2_consumption_by_rain_tree if you want more information (optional). To get a rough idea about personal energy use and the carbon dioxide emission that results, check out this nice little calculator and try to enter some values: http://www.carbonify.com/carbon-calculator.htm. Note that in the calculator some unstated assumptions are made, but it is a useful exercise. So, for example, using the calculator:

(10) If you drive an average medium sized car and drive 600 miles per month, how many tons of carbon dioxide do you put into the atmosphere per year? (Hit enter after you put 600 in the box for an average car.)

(11) At the bottom of the calculator, read off how many average trees are needed to offset this driving and reabsorb the carbon dioxide. As another example, my house typically requires about 1400 gallons of heating oil over the year.

(12) Use the calculator to determine how many tons of carbon dioxide this oil use puts into the atmosphere each year. (Be careful to note that the calculator quantity column is in terms of per month.)

While Charles and Esther Kveragas were in a rented motel room at the Scottish Inns, Inc., in Knoxville, Tennessee, three intruders kicked open the door, shot Charles, and injured Esther. The intruders also took $3,000 belonging to the Kveragases. The Kveragases brought an action against the motel owners, claiming that the owners had been negligent in failing to provide adequately for the safety of the motel s guests. At trial, the evidence showed that the door had a hollow core and that it fit poorly into the door frame. There was no deadbolt lock on the door, although such locks were easily available and commonly used in motels. The only lock on the door was one fitted into the door handle, which was described as a grade three lock, although a security chain was attached to the door. The Kveragases had both locked and chained the door, but still, a single kick on the part of the intruders was all that was necessary to open it. Evidence at trial also indicated that a deadbolt lock would have withstood the force that was applied to the door. Did the motel owners have a duty to protect their guests from criminal acts on the motel premises, and if so, did the owners breach that duty of care by failing to provide more secure locks on the doors of the motel rooms?

WRITE IN IRAC FORM

IRAC is the method in which most courts write decisions. It was extremely helpful to me in law school. I also think it helps solve problems in other disciplines as well. It certainly helps students begin to learn logical thinking.

I = Issue
R = Rule
A = Analysis / Application
C = Conclusion

Issue- What is the legal issue or question raised by the facts of a case. Said in another way, what is the legal issue or question the court (you) are trying to answer? Often, the chapter question provides you with the legal issue. Sometimes, you should try to be more specific. For instance, some questions ask at the end: “How should the court decide this case?” Of course, that is the general question of every single case ever tried in court. It isn't specific enough. Instead, a more specific way to state the issue might be, for instance, “Did the plaintiff breach the contract?” or “Is X Corporation liable for a defective product that injured a 3^rdparty?”

Rule- State and explain or define the law or rule that applies to this case. You will have read the rule somewhere in the chapter. As an example: “Hearsay is testimony someone gives in court about a statement made by someone else who was not under oath at the time of the statement.” “Hearsay is not admissible as evidence.” In this section, you do not discuss the facts of the case - you just state the rule that would apply in any case involving this particular issue. Make sure you include an explanation of the rule - not just the name.

Application / AnalysisHere you applythe rule you've identified above to the facts to reach a conclusion. Said another way, you analyzethe facts according to the law to reach a conclusion. There are always two sides to each case. While sometimes one side has a much stronger argument than the other, and obviously the court will decide the case based on the strongest argument, that does not mean the other's argument is necessarily invalid. Assuming you've identified the correct issue and rule, your conclusion will usually not be “wrong” provided your analysis is logical. The majority of the class may not subscribe to your conclusion; however, what I am looking for is whether you support your conclusion with sound reasoning.

Conclusion- This can be a one sentence statement. Carrying forth with the example above: “the witness’ testimony was hearsay (for the reasons set forth in your application) therefore the court shall exclude it as inadmissible evidence.”

Balancing School and Life - My Quality of Life Self-Care Plan. The purpose of developing this Plan is to set a framework and a plan to maintain wellness and to stay motivated and engaged throughout your Program. Doing this will help you achieve success during your coursework and as a professional nurse.

The goal of the Project is to help you become self-aware and reflective as a means of identifying personal self-care strategies that will increase your energy and help you manage your stress. The Project will give you a chance to learn how this is accomplished as you will be doing similar work with clients during the Program and as a professional nurse to assist them in the same way.

Use the Quality of Life Self-Care Wheel to assess your current state. After you determine your scores, in a 2-3 page paper complete the following:

• Discuss those areas that are strengths (higher scores) and those areas that need further development (lower scores).
• Identify two strategies you can use to maintain or maximize each identified strength.
• Identify two strategies you can use to strengthen each area needing development. Explain how you will put these strategies into action. Be specific. For example, instead of stating, "I need to exercise," your action should state "I will begin to walk 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week." The action should be SMART- Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timeframe
• Also attach your completed form
• Minimum length 2-3 pages not including cover or referencing. APA formatting

Capsaicin is the compound that makes hot peppers spicy. This compound reversibly binds to the same protein that detects heat in our bodies. For that reason, when we eat spicy food we experience a “burning” sensation. The spice level in different types of peppers is measured in Scoville units. A Scoville unit refers to the number of times a pepper extract has to be diluted in order for a panel of people to no longer detect the heat. For example, a Jalapeño pepper ranks about ~5000 units. This means that liquid extracted from a Jalapeño must be diluted 5000 times before the heat is no longer detectable to the palate.

The spiciest peppers known, such as the Carolina Reaper, have about 3 million Scoville units of heat. Imagine you watch a show on TV claiming that the Carolina Reaper pepper is 600 times spicier than a Jalapeño (3 million divided by 5 thousand), since you know the thermodynamics of chemical equilibria, you can make a more nuanced assessment of that claim.

Explain why or why not the TV host above might or might not be correct. Clearly state any assumptions and use equations if necessary.
