  Industrial engineering                  












 Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering dealing with the optimization of complex processes or systems. It is concerned with the development, improvement, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, materials, analysis and synthesis, as well as the mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems or processes. Its underlying concepts overlap considerably with certain business-oriented disciplines such as Operations Management, but the engineering side tends to emphasize extensive mathematical proficiency and usage of quantitative methods.
Depending on the sub-speciality(ies) involved, industrial engineering may also be known as operations management, management science, operations research, systems engineering, or manufacturing engineering, usually depending on the viewpoint or motives of the user. Recruiters or educational establishments use the names to differentiate themselves from others. In health care, industrial engineers are more commonly known as health management engineers or health systems engineers.
While the term originally applied to manufacturing, the use of "industrial" in "industrial engineering" can be somewhat misleading., since it has grown to encompass any methodical or quantitative approach to optimizing how a process, system, or organization operates. Some engineering universities and educational agencies around the world have changed the term “industrial” to the broader term “production”, leading to the typical extensions noted above. In fact, the primary U.S. professional organization for Industrial Engineers, the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) has been considering changing its name to something broader (such as the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers), although the latest vote among membership deemed this unnecessary for the time being.
The various topics of concern to industrial engineers include management science, financial engineering, engineering management, supply chain management, process engineering, operations research, systems engineering, ergonomics, cost and value engineering, quality engineering, facilities planning, and the engineering design process. Traditionally, a major aspect of industrial engineering was planning the layouts of factories and designing assembly lines and other manufacturing paradigms. And now, in so-called lean manufacturing systems, industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources.

Petroleum (L. petroleum, from Greek: petra (rock) + Latin: oleum (oil)[1]) or crude oil is a naturally occurring, flammable liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other liquid organic compounds, that are found in geologic formations beneath the Earth's surface. Petroleum is recovered mostly through oil drilling.This latter stage comes after studies of structural geology (at the reservoir scale), sedimentary basin analysis, reservoir characterization (mainly in terms of porosity and permeable structures). It is refined and separated, most easily by boiling point, into a large number of consumer products, from gasoline and kerosene to asphalt and chemical reagents used to make plastics and pharmaceuticals. Petroleum is often attributed as the "Mother of all Commodities" because of its importance in the manufacture of a wide variety of materials.
The term petroleum is found (in the spelling "petraoleum") in tenth-century Old English sources. It was used in the treatise De Natura Fossilium, published in 1546 by the German mineralogist Georg Bauer, also known as Georgius Agricola. In the 19th Century, the term petroleum was frequently used to refer to mineral oils produced by distillation from mined organic solids such as cannel coal (and later oil shale), and refined oils produced from them; in the United Kingdom storage (and later transport) of these oils were regulated by a series of Petroleum Acts, from the Petroleum Act 1862 c. 66 onward.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination".He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote". Marco Rosci points out, however, that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.
Born the illegitimate son of a notary, Piero da Vinci, and a peasant woman, Caterina, at Vinci in the region of Florence, Leonardo was educated in the studio of the renowned Florentine painter, Verrocchio. Much of his earlier working life was spent in the service of Ludovico il Moro in Milan. He later worked in Rome, Bologna and Venice and spent his last years in France, at the home awarded him by Francis I.
Leonardo was and is renowned primarily as a painter. Among his works, the Mona Lisa is most famous and most parodied portrait and The Last Supper the most reproduced religious painting of all time, with their fame approached only by Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. Leonardo's drawing of the Vitruvian Man is also regarded as a cultural icon, being reproduced on everything from the euro to text books to t-shirts. Perhaps fifteen of his paintings survive, the small number due to his constant, and frequently disastrous, experimentation with new techniques, and his chronic procrastination. Nevertheless, these few works, together with his notebooks, which contain drawings, scientific diagrams, and his thoughts on the nature of painting, compose a contribution to later generations of artists only rivalled by that of his contemporary, Michelangelo.

USES OF NATURAL GAS IN PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY
 
Methanol, produced from natural gas, is an important chemical used to produce fuel additives, formaldehyde, acetic acid, plastics, vinyl, textiles and other products.

Methanol can also be converted into two: ethylene and propylene through a process known as conversion of methanol to olefins. Ethylene and propylene can also be produced directly from ethane, propane, butane and other compounds separated from natural gas or naphtha produced from crude oil. Ethylene and propylene are relatively stable compounds that can be transported by pipeline or special vessels for petrochemical plants that turn into a variety of materials such as polyethylene, PVC plastics, resins, antifreeze, paints, automotive components, materials packaging, textiles, and countless other specialty plastics and foams.
Over 97% of world synthetic fertilizers produced from ammonia produced synthetically derived from natural gas. The process requires relatively high temperatures and pressures, and therefore requires cheap energy to be economic. The natural gas, with its relatively inexpensive price, provides energy and raw materials for processing.

                                                        Mechanical engineer

Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.
The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more.
Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the industrial revolution in Europe in the 18th century; however, its development can be traced back several thousand years around the world. Mechanical engineering science emerged in the 19th century as a result of developments in the field of physics. The field has continually evolved to incorporate advancements in technology, and mechanical engineers today are pursuing developments in such fields as composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology. Mechanical engineering overlaps with aerospace engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and petroleum engineering to varying amounts

BIOGRAPHY NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
Napoleón Bonaparte was born in the island of Corsica in 1769. Their parents were Charles Bonaparte and Maria Laetizia Ramolino. Siguíó the military specialty in the artillery specialty emphasizing in several events of the French revolution like the recapture of the port of Tolón in 1793. This fact permitio to ascend to him to the general grade of brigade. During the period of the Directory, Napoleón carried out a shining campaign in Italy defeating to the Austrians in Lodi, Arcola and Rivoli. Taking advantage of his great popularity in France it gave the coup d'etat of the 18 of Brumario of year VIII of the Revolution (9 of November of 1799), to restore a triunvirato formed by Sièyes, Ducos and he himself. Shortly after first consul proclaimed itself, position that allowed him to govern during ten years. In 1804 covirtió in Emperor and looked for to have the control of all Europe. In this stage it invaded many countries and it gained great victories, but also failures like its campaigns in Russia and Spain. Finally it was defeated by the Seventh Coalition headed by England

Increase safety and productivity.

Many of the jobs performed by workers in a production environment require the movement or positioning of large and heavy objects--objects that are too heavy or bulky to be safely or efficiently moved by a production worker. When this is the case, it is often in the best interest of a company and the worker to use some sort of work positioner to get the job done. Commonly used work positioners include manipulators, hoists, lift tables, and tilting devices.
Manipulators and hoists are tools that aid workers in handling either heavy or awkward loads. Not only do they protect workers from unnecessary strain and possible injuries, they also prevent damage to the materials and equipment being moved or positioned. While both manipulators and hoists can be used to raise and lower loads, manipulators can provide vertical and horizontal positioning, as well as rotational Economic and Safety Advantages.

UNIDAD 3:APROXIMACIÓN AL TEXTO (SCANNING)

Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809) and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776). An influential Founding Father, Jefferson envisioned America as a great "Empire of Liberty" that would promote republicanism.
Jefferson served as the wartime Governor of Virginia (1779–1781), barely escaping capture by the British in 1781. Many people disliked his tenure, and he did not win office again in Virginia. From mid-1784 through late 1789 Jefferson lived outside the United States. He served in Paris initially as a commissioner to help negotiate commercial treaties. In May 1785 he succeeded Benjamin Franklin as the U.S. Minister to France.
He was the first United States Secretary of State (1789–1793) under George Washington and advised him against a national bank and the Jay Treaty. He was the second Vice President (1797–1801) under John Adams. Winning on an anti-federalist platform, Jefferson took the oath of office and became President of the United States in 1801. As president he negotiated the Louisiana Purchase (1803), and sent the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) to explore the vast new territory and lands further west. Jefferson sponsored embargo laws that escalated tensions with Britain and France, leading to war with Britain in 1812 shortly after he left office.
He idealized the independent yeoman farmer as exemplar of republican virtues, distrusted cities and financiers, and favored states' rights and a limited federal government. Jefferson supported the separation of church and state and was the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1779, 1786). Jefferson's revolutionary view on individual religious freedom and protection from government authority has generated much interest with modern scholars. He was the eponym of Jeffersonian democracy and the co-founder and leader of the Democratic-Republican Party, which dominated American politics for 25 years.
Born into a prominent planter family, Jefferson owned hundreds of slaves throughout his life; he held views on the racial inferiority of Africans common for this period in time. While historians long discounted accounts that Jefferson had an intimate relationship with his slave Sally Hemings, it is now widely held that he did and had six children by her.

        Henry Ford
(July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was a prominent American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He is credited with "Fordism": mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put a dealership in every city in North America, and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation but arranged for his family to control the company permanently.
He was known worldwide especially in the 1920s for a system of Fordism that seemed to promise modernity, high wages and cheap consumer goods, but his antisemitism in the 1920s has been a source of controversy.

La idea principal de texto es dar un breve resumen de como el gran empresario Henry Ford creo su imperio automobilistico, expandiendo su gran creacion a nivel mundial.


RESUMEN DEL TEXTO (EN ESPAÑOL)

(julio 30, 1863 hasta abril 07, 1947) fue un prominente industrial estadounidense, fundador de la Ford Motor Company, y el promotor del desarrollo de la técnica de la línea de montaje de la producción en masa. Su introducción del automóvil modelo T revolucionó el transporte y la industria americana. Como propietario de la Ford Motor Company, se convirtió en una de las personas más ricas y más conocido en el mundo. Se le atribuye la "fordismo": la producción masiva de bienes de bajo costo junto con los altos salarios de los trabajadores. Ford tenía una visión global, con el consumismo como llave de la paz. Su intenso compromiso de reducción de costes de forma sistemática como resultado muchas innovaciones técnicas y de negocio, incluyendo un sistema de franquicias que ponen a un concesionario en cada ciudad en América del Norte, y en las principales ciudades de seis continentes. Ford dejó la mayor parte de su enorme riqueza a la Fundación Ford, pero preparado para su familia para controlar la empresa de forma permanente.

Era conocido en todo el mundo especialmente en la década de 1920 un sistema de fordismo que parecía una promesa de la modernidad, los altos salarios y los bienes de consumo baratos, pero su antisemitismo en la década de 1920 ha sido fuente de controversia.
