Energy and environmental engineering silly question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around clarifying the differences between two assignment questions related to emissions from a coal mine. The first question addresses methods to contain gases within the mine, while the second focuses on managing gases that have escaped. There is confusion regarding whether particulate emissions, such as dust from loading trains, fall under mining operations. Additionally, the participant questions if "processing" is considered part of "mining operations." Understanding these distinctions is crucial for completing the assignment effectively.

Hello everyone,

I am sorry if this question looks silly but my tutor has not replied yet and I need to work it out as soon as I can. Could someone tell me if they see any difference question 1 and question 2? Because I genuinely don't and it is driving me crazy. The assignment is about a coal mine and how to prevent emissions

1. Focuses on keeping the gasses still inside the mine.
2. Focuses on doing something with gasses out of the mine.
 
It sounds to me like they are differentiating between gaseous and particulate emissions.

Loading trains can raise dust. This might not be considered part of "mining operations".

Is "processing" included in "mining operations"?

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
