...For this assignment I will compare the challenges to selected business activities within my chosen business in two different economic environments. I will analyse whether national demand and GDP are rising or falling and how they are affecting my chosen business. Recession Recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months. Recession would impact in Rudding Park Hotel due to the fact of recession effects. During recession, as sales revenues and profits decline, they will cut back on hiring new employees. In an effort to cut costs, they are going to stop buying new equipment and to develop new services. As declining revenues show up the price may decline. Dividends may also slump, or disappear entirely. Shareholders and advertising agency may become upset. Shareholders may call for a new CEO and the advertising agency may be dumped and new agency hired. When the stock falls and the dividends decline or stop, the investors who hold that stock may sell and reinvest the proceeds into better-performing stocks. The customers of the Rudding Park Hotel that owe it money may pay slowly, late or not at all. Then, with reduced revenues, the affected Hotel will pay its own bills more slowly or late. Late payments will reduce the valuation of the corporation's debt and ability to obtain financing. The Hotel's ability to service its debt, may also be impaired, eventuating in defaults other debt, further damaging the Hotel's...

...temperature gradient in a solid or fluid Conduction will take place if there exist a temperature gradient in a solid (or stationary fluid) medium. Energy is transferred from more energetic to less energetic molecules when neighboring molecules collide. Conductive heat flow occurs in direction of the decreasing temperature since higher temperatures are associated with higher molecular energy. Fourier's Law expressed conductive heat transfer as: q = k A dT / s Where q = heat transfer (W, J/s, Btu/s)A = heat transfer area (m2 , ft2)k =thermal conductivity of the material(W/m.K or W/m℃, Btu/(hroF ft2/ft))dT = temperature difference across the material (K oroC,oF)s = materialism thickness (m, ft) Example of Heat Transfer by Conduction is A plane wall constructed of solid iron with thermal conductivity 70 W/m℃, thickness 50 mm and with surface area1 m by 1 m,temperature150 ℃ on one side and 80 ℃ on the other. Conductive heat transfer can be calculated as: q= (70 W/m℃) (1 m) (1 m) ((150℃) - (80℃)) /(0.05m)=98,000(W)=98(kW) Heat Transfer through Plane Walls In Series Heat conducted through several walls in good thermal contact can be expressed as: q = (T1- Tn) / ((s1/k1A) + (s2/k2A) + ... +...

...ME 3322, Thermodynamics I Chapter 1. Getting Started: Introductory Concepts and Definitions Learning Outcome ► Demonstrate understanding of several fundamental concepts, including closed system, control volume, boundary and surroundings, property, state, process, the distinction between extensive and intensive properties, and equilibrium. ► Apply SI and English Engineering units, including units for specific volume, pressure, and temperature. ► Work with the Kelvin, Rankine, Celsius, and Fahrenheit temperature scales. ► Apply the problem-solving methodology used in this book. Defining Systems ► System: whatever we want to study. ► Surroundings: everything external to the system. ► Boundary: distinguishes system from its surroundings. Closed System ► A system that always contains the same matter. ► No transfer of mass across its boundary can occur. ► Isolated system: special type of closed system that does not interact in any way with its surroundings. Control Volume ► A given region of space through which mass flows. ► Mass may cross the boundary of a control volume. Macroscopic and Microscopic Views ► Systems can be described from the macroscopic and microscopic points of view. ► The microscopic approach aims to characterize by statistical means the average behavior of the particles making up a system and use this information to describe the overall behavior of the system. ► The macroscopic approach describes system behavior in terms of the gross...
