Science and Mathematics for Fire Engineering

Description

Module Title:Science and Mathematics for Fire Engineering

Task 1 Write the Electrical Causes of fire and its prevention.

Task 2

What is the Effect of Radiation on human life?

Task 3

This task has to be performed with necessary safety precautions.

Identify any three electric appliances available in the college or at home. Carefully study the voltage specification tag on the appliance and record the electric power consumption of each appliance. (The device must be disconnected from power supply while you study the rating tag.)

Calculate the individual resistance of each appliance assuming the operational voltage is the supply voltage in Oman. Also, calculate the total current drawn by these appliances when connected to the power supply in Oman.

According to the Wikipedia, “An energy crisis is any great bottleneck (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. “ Overconsumption is one of the reasons for the energy consumption.

Suggest any three major steps you recommend to reduce electric power consumption at your workplace / home.

Attach a      print out of the picture      of the voltage specification tag on the appliances you selected. The print      out is preferably of postcard size 10.5cm × 14.8cm on normal A4 paper. Your answer may become invalid if this picture is      missing in your report.

All your calculations should be presented clearly with necessary information and sub headings. A page containing just numbers will not be treated as your answer.

Task 4 Take the spoon/fork/plate/cup from the kitchen and find the number of moles and molecules present in any one.

Task 5 Take any five liquids (soft drink, soaps, detergents, syrup etc) and find the Density and relative density.

General Instructions:

All values and calculations should be in SI units, wherever applicable.

All references , if any, should be in Harvard Referencing System.
