The benefits of technology transfer have been beset with myriads of problems ranging from excessive consumption of significant percentage of the world primary resources to the generation of large percentage of solid waste and pollution. Product design is closely related to environmental degradation. In response to these impacts, there is growing interest among organizations committed to environmental performance targets in recommending sustainable design and manufacture practices and in encouraging future reduction in GHGs emissions partly responsible for global warming phenomenon. To this effect: Discuss in detail the effect of repair design and suggest a measure to improving environmental impact. Describe the effect of re-design and suggest a measure to improving economic efficiency. c) Compare repair design and re-design in the context of economic efficiency. d) Contrast re-design and refine design in the context of environmental impact. e) Appraise re-thinking in the context of environmental impact.

Climate Change is certainly a topic of concern to our government and society as a whole. As engineering professionals, it will fall on us to help manage the impacts of climate change on society, specifically on the infrastructure that society relies upon. Having said this, you assignment is to provide a brief written report including the following:1. Name three potential negative impacts of climate change to the future reliability of infrastructure. Be sure to name specific impacts on specific types of infrastructure.2. For each of the impacts identified, identify a mitigation technique that can be employed.
16 Which of the following statement is true about eco-properties of material production? * O co, footprint is the amount of CO, released into the atmosphere per unit mass of produced material. None of them. All of them. Embodied energy is the energy to produce unit mass of usable material. It is not feasible to estimate embodied energy via the thermodynamics of the processes involved in material production because the thermodynamic efficiencies of processes are quite low. The embodied energy can be found by monitoring the total energy input to the production plant and dividing this total by the quantity of usable material shipped out of the plant over a fixed period of time.

Find the estimated annual emissions of NOx, VOCs, SO2 and PM for the United States for two historic years (say 2000 and 2019) with information about major categories (e.g., mobile, non-mobile, EGU, area, etc.). Likewise, find the CO, NO2, ozone and PM2.5 concentrations for similar years in your city of choice (look at annual PM2.5 and 4th highest 8-hr ozone, you can choose which CO and NO2 metric to consider). Discuss how the emissions have changed by category and link that to how the concentrations have changed.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant. Energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can neither be created nor destroyed. In which we investigate issues concerned with electric energy and electric equipment, and how careful design of electric installations can contribute significantly to reduction in pollution of the local and global environment. To this effect: a) Define pollution in the context of production of mobile phones; b) Report on the environmental impact of retired cellular phones; c) Interpret the transformation of energy from electric energy to sound energy; d) Question the transformation of chemical energy to electric energy in mobile phones; e) Value chemical energy; a source of energy of mobile phones.
