Plastics Design and Manufacturing
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing gains and persistent assumptions. Many of the problems attributed to manufacture are not those of the manufacturing process, but rather deficiency in design. Of course products need to be envisioned before they can be produced, but a failing of many manufacturing engineers is that of not approaching their design duties from a variety of perspectives, including manufacturing. This paper describes and analyzes a circuit board assembly line, assesses the evolution of the manufacturing of three-prong electrical plugs and speculates on the type of plastic that could be used in manufacturing processes following the path of the processes in which steel is produced. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Radon: A Colorless, Odorless, Tasteless Gas
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page description of the gas radon. Provides the history of its discovery as well as information on the molecular characteristics of the gas, the various isotopes, and potential threats to human health. Concludes that while there are valid and useful application of radon, it is a gas which presents a number of concerns. The most obvious of these are found in association with mining for uranium and in toxic waste dumps. Perhaps one of the most concerning aspects of radon overall, however, is its insidious infiltration into our homes and buildings. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Supercritical Fluid Extraction
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the mechanism and technology of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). It gains increasing favor in that it uses supercritical fluids that are primarily inert gases moved beyond critical point by heat or pressure changes and has been able to replace the use of organic solvents in many types of applications. While there is reduced solvency for some compounds when compared to results possible with organic solvents, the environmental and regulatory benefits of avoiding those organic solvents contribute to the increasing popularity of supercritical fluid extraction. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
