Development of a Method to Fully Assess the Environmental Costs of Electrical Energy by Nuclear Power Plants Abstract A major problem affecting the assessment of the environmental and social costs ofenergy in addition to the monetary cost is a lack of standardization of assessmenttechniques which makes comparisons difficult or invalid. The University of Florida hasadopted the EMERGY analysis process developed by Howard T. Odum1,2,3 to perform aself-consistent study of energy production to assess the full range of environmental,social and economic costs. The EMERGY analysis makes the ordering of energy valuesand the assignment of energy units (emjoules) to environmental and economic

Historically,engineering curricula at the college level have ignored the humanities and liberal arts.This division has its roots in the elementary and secondary school levels where littleeffort is made to bring an understanding of one branch of learning into the context of theother. This results in an under appreciation of the engineering

Recent evidence shows that the gendergap in earnings is increasing after a period of decline (13). This gap is partly due to workers in female-dominated occupations being paid lower average wages than workers in

postulates and theorems to perform Boolean reduction and solve Boolean expressions.II. Discussion The Boolean AND ( a ib ), OR ( a + b ), INVERT ( a ), logical false (0), and logical true(1), correspond directly to the set theory intersection ( a ∩ b ), union ( a ∪ b ), inversion ( a ),empty set ( φ ), and universal set ( U ). This allows for quick and simple reduction of Booleanexpressions containing complex operations that can be easily grasped by students. Manycomplex switching function problems can be solved faster and easier using set operations ratherthan classical Boolean algebraic methods.Consider the pair of Boolean switching functions f1 (a, b, c) = Σm(0,1, 2, 7)and

Consider asequence a-b-c and a symmetric distribution of the phases by 1200 electrical degrees each in space andaround the air gap. The basic three-phase machine will have three coils that we consider to have thefollowing terminals: a a’ b b’ c c’These coils are excited by a time dependent sinusoidal alternating current producing a sinusoidalmagneto- motive force (mmf) wave at the center of the magnetic axis of particular phase.

Students are first asked to derive the differential equations that model this system: 2 2 M1d y1/dt = f(t) – K(y1 – y2) – Bdy1/dt 2 2 M2d y2/dt = K(y1 – y2) – Bdy2/dtThe next step is to derive the state model by defining the states to be the position and velocity ofeach of the carts.
