But, frst, can you tell me how it all works? Salesperson: Of course. It's fairy simple. After we attach the panels to your roof, they collect energy from the sun. Customer: How does that become energy in my house? Salesperson: Well, solar energy is converted into heat, thermal energy, and electricity. Customer: Is this in addition to the traditional sources of power? Salesperson: Yes and no. You can use both or go completely solar. I's up to you. Customer: What about when the sun isn't visible? Salesperson: Great question. Solar panels collect the sun's energy and store it as potential energy. Customer: So it's there to use when I need it. Salesperson: Exactly. Just like a traditional power source Customer: I'l have to do some more thinking about this. But | appreciate the information.

Unit 4 Inspector (M): Ms. Germaine, | finished the inspection of your cooling system. ‘Manager (F): So what did you discover? Inspector: I'm pretty sure there's a blockage in the piping. lanager: Really? Why do you think that?” Inspector: The flow rate was down, so | checked the flux ‘meters. The rate was low throughout most ofthe system. ‘Manager: Maybe there's a problem with viscosity. Could that be it? Inspector: | don't think so. You see, the rate changes just before the outlet. Suddenly, the water is moving normally again. Manager: Oh, I get what you're saying. Some water gets past the blockage and moves normally again. Inspector: That's my guess. But most of the water is backing up. That's putting extra resistance on the pipes. Manager: That doesn’t sound good. What should we do? Inspector: If we don’t remove the blockage, the pipe might ‘burst 'd suggest we shut down the system right away. Manager: Of course. Let me contact the operations supervisor before we do anything else. Unit 5 ‘Student 1 (F): Did you gather all the materials? Student 2 (My: Yes, | did. We have sugar, water, suffuric acid, and a beaker. Student 1: First, we have to moisten the sugar with a little water Student 2: That doesn't require any additional catalyst, does it? Student 1: No. The water is enough to dissolve the sugar on its own. ‘Student 2: And the sugar is our reactant and the sulfuric acid is our reagent. Student 1: That's right. Then, we're supposed to add the moistened sugar to the sulfuric acid, ‘Student 2: Actually | think it's the other way around. We ‘nead to stir the sulfuric acid in slowly. ‘Student 1: You're right! | didn't read that carefully enough, That could be a dangerous reaction. ‘Student 2: Yeah.

But the manual says we'll be able to see it clearly. ‘Student 2; Interesting, | guess i's ime to get started, Employee (M): Thank you for contacting Anderson-Park Power. How may | help you? (Customer (F}: I'm in search of a new reactor. 'm running the city’s cellulosic ethanol tests. Employee: | can definitely help you with that. For that type of research, I'd recommend a bioreactor. Customer: How is that different from other types of reactors? Employee: A bioreactor specializes in organic matter, such ‘as the cells you're testing ‘Customer: | see. is a bioreactor a self-contained tank or ‘will we need other parts? Employee: It's technically a CSTR, so it works well on its ‘own. However, you should consider a cooling jacket as well, Customer: What would that accomplish? Employee: The bioreactor's temperature must remain ‘constant. The cooling jacket will aid in that process. Gustomer: Do bioreactors have any other uses? Employee: They do. These days, they are commonly used in municipalities for water treatment. Customer: Well, we don’t need it for that right now. But it might be nice to have the option.
