Question
Chapter 22, Problem 1DP
To determine
To list:
The advantages and disadvantages of the various materials that are used for the container production with the consideration of following aspects:
- Cost of the containers;
- Recyclability of the containers;
- Energy consumed for the production of these containers.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1DP
The commonly used materials for the production of containers are listed below;
- 1. Glass
- 2. Aluminum
- 3. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE)
The advantages and disadvantages of these materials are explained below:
Explanation of Solution
Glass:
Advantages:
- Glass is an inexpensive material and it is readily available.
- It is chemically non-reactive material.
- It is the transparent material that gives a good appearance.
- The recycling process of glass does not require much energy.
- Increased and rapid production of recycled glass result in more usage and thereby reducing the pollutant emission.
Disadvantages:
- Glass is a non-bio degradable material.
- Sorting of salvaged glass takes more time and is an expensive process that reduces its market value.
Aluminum:
Advantages:
- Aluminum is a non-corrosive material compared to ferrous materials.
- Aluminum is easily available material.
- It has the capacity to withstand higher temperatures.
- Low energy is required to recycle the aluminum containers.
Disadvantages:
- They are non-refillable.
- Aluminum is the non-bio degradable material.
- It promotes the chemical reaction between the packed material and container. Tin coatings are provided to stop the chemical reaction.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE):
Advantages:
- They possess good optical clarity.
- It is the light-weighted material compared to the others.
- It is a shatter-proof material.
- The PET containers are easy to manufacture (blow molding).
- It is chemically non-reactive material.
Disadvantages:
- They are non-refillable.
- PETs are the non-biodegradable materials.

The particle has a mass of 0.5 kg and is confined to move along the smooth
horizontal slot due to the rotation of the arm OA. Determine the force of the rod
on the particle and the normal force of the Isot on the particle when 0 = 30°.
The rod is rotating with a angular velocity of ė = 2rad/s and an angular
acceleration of = 3rad/s². Assume the particle only contacts one side of the
slot at any instant. To check your answer, please enter the normal force of the

As a strategy of the Salahadin Government to extend the residency community in Tikrit
City, there is a plan to provide water for a new residential area on the west side of Tikrit
City, as shown in the map in Figure 1. The new residential area is exposed to have 25000
residences, three schools to serve 1000 students, and a Plaza Markt that can serve 2000
persons. The water will be supplied from a purification station installed on the Tigris
River at an elevation equal to 130 m. The distance between the water purification station
and the center of the new residential area is about 9.5 km, and the elevation of the city
center is about 150 m. The required pressure in the new residential area center is 30 m.
The available pipes in the market with their price are shown in Table 1. Also, the price for
each 10-meter of pump head is 1500$.
Your task as environmental engineers is to design a sustainable and economically viable
water system, including the main pipeline and pump for the new…
