The diagram illustrates the design and operation of a home smokery.
Overall, there are 3 main stages in the home smoking process,
beginning with fresh air entering the system, and ending with the
smoking of food in a chamber.
( Overall, the system has two main sections: an underground smoke-
generation section and an above-ground smoking box where food is
processed.)
Body 1: Structure
3 chambers
1st: lid, regulate air
2nd : lid, contain logs
3rd: pipe, under food box
Body 2: Operation
1st: lid is opened -> fresh air enters
2nd : logs are burned -> smoke
3rd: smoke travels to food box
Food box: food is cooked
The underground section consists of three interconnected chambers.
The first chamber, equipped with a lid, is responsible for regulating
airflow, while the second compartment, also fitted with a lid, contains
logs that are burned to generate smoke. The third chamber, located
right under the food box, servers as a passage, allowing smoke to rise to
the top of the food box ( the box where food items are waiting to be
cooked).
To operate the smokery, the lid on the first chamber is opened to allow
fresh air to enter, providing a sufficient supply of oxygen to the second
chamber, where logs are burned. The combustion produces smoke,
which travels through a pipe to the food box. Here, food like fish or meat
is slowly cooked by the rising smoke. (Here, food items such as fish or
meat are exposed to the rising smoke, gradually cooking them through
the smoking process.)
The diagram illustrates the production of leather goods.
Overall, there are 11 distinct steps in this process, beginning with the
drying of animal skins and ending with the production of various types of
leather goods.
At the first stage in the process, a hide is first hung on a line and dried in
the sun before being transported by truck to a factory where it
undergoes different cleaning processes. At the factory, it is soaked in a
mixture of water and lime to kill any harmful bacteria. After washing, it is
submerged in lime juice to prevent it from growing bacteria before being
flattened by a special machine.
Turning to the remaining of stages, the flattened skin is soaked again
but this time in tannin, which is a combination of water and vegetable
matter. Following this, the skin experiences a polishing process before
delivered to another factory, again by truck, where it is used to make
different kinds of products, such as leather bags or shoes.
The diagram below shows one way of manufacturing ceramic pots.
At the first stage in the manufacturing process of ceramic pots, the raw
materials are dug out of the ground by a digger and then transported to
a factory by a truck. At the factory, the materials undergo a number of
stages. They are first crushed by a special machine into powder which is
then mixed with water. After that, the resulting mixture is poured into a
mould that has a pre-formed shape a pot and then left there for four to
six hours for drying to create assembled clay pots.
At the next stage of the process, the clay pots created in the previous
step are placed in an oven where they are heated at a temperature of
1000˚C. Following this, the pots are coloured and put into a color firing
oven before becoming finished pots, ready to be sold.
The diagram illustrates the production of ethanol fuel from corn.
Overall, there are nine stages in the process of corn ethanol production,
beginning with harvesting the corn and ending at the delivery stage.
At the first stage in the corn ethanol making process, corn is harvested
and then put in a suitable place to ensure safe storage before it is ready
for milling. During the milling stage, the corn is ground into a fine
powder, which is then mixed with water. The resulting mixture is cooked
for 4 hours.
After cooking, the mixture undergoes a fermentation process, which
takes two days, and ethanol is produced after this stage. After that, the
liquid ethanol is separated from the fermented mixture, during which
some solid by-products are taken out. It then takes five hours for the
resulting ethanol to be purified to remove any impurities. Finally, this
ethanol is stored for a set period of time before being transported to
retailers, ready to be sold.
The diagram illustrates various stages in the development of a salmon.
Overall, there are eight stages in the life cycle of the salmon, starting
with eggs and continuing until they become fully-grown adults.
At the first stage in the life cycle, the female salmon chooses the best
spot in rivers and lays a massive number of eggs, which are then
incubated before developing into tiny fish. At this point, the fish have a
long tail and do not yet have the appearance of a normal fish. In the
next stage, the fish grow quickly in size and move downstream to
freshwater areas, which are suitable for rearing, before migrating to
estuaries where they continue to be reared.
At the following stage in the life cycle, the young fish become much
bigger and begin their journey to the ocean where they develop into
mature adult salmon. The adult fish migrate upstream to spawning areas
of rivers where they will mate and spawn, and the life cycle starts again.
The diagram illustrates various steps in the process of coffee production.
Overall, there are 11 stages in the coffee manufacturing process,
beginning with the collection of coffee beans and ending at the packing
stage.
At the first stage, coffee beans are picked by hand before being dried in
the sun. The dried beans are then roasted, cooled quickly and put in a
grinder where they become ground coffee. After that, it is mixed with
hot water, and this mixture is then strained and frozen, ready for the
next step.
At the following stage of the process, the grinder is used once again to
grind the frozen liquid, which is then dried in a vacuum. At this point, the
high temperature in the vacuum causes the water to evaporate, leaving
only the ground coffee, which is put into different coffee containers.
These coffee jars are delivered to shops and supermarkets, ready to be
sold to consumers.
The diagram illustrates the process of making bricks for building purposes.
Overall, there are seven main steps in the process of brick manufacturing,
beginning with the preparation of clay and ending at the delivering stage.
In the first stage of the process, clay is first dug out of the ground. This clay is
then placed onto a metal grid and put through a roller which breaks it into
small chunks.
After that, the clay is mixed with sand and water, and the resulting mixture is
either put in a mould or cut by a wire cutter to make well-shaped bricks.
In the fourth stage of the process, the bricks are laid in a drying oven for one to
two days. The dried bricks are then heated in a kiln, first at a moderate
temperature (200 to 980 degrees), then at a high temperature up to 1300
degrees. Following this, the bricks are cooled for two or three days before
being packaged and transported by a truck to different places.
The diagram illustrates the various stages in the life of a honey bee.
We can see that the complete life cycle lasts between 34 and 36 days. It
is noticeable that there are five main stages in the development of the
honey bee, from egg to mature adult insect.
The life cycle of the honey bee begins when the female adult lays an
egg; the female typically lays one or two eggs every 3 days. Between 9
and 10 days later, each egg hatches and the immature insect, or nymph,
appears.
During the third stages of the life cycle, the nymph grows in size and
sheds its skin three times. This moulting first takes place 5 days after
the egg hatches, then 7 days later, and again another 9 days later. After
a total of 30 to 31 days from the start of the cycle, the young adult
honey bee emerges from its final moulting stage, and in the space of
only 4 days it reaches full maturity.
The diagrams below show the life cycle of the silkworm and the stages in
the production of silk cloth.
The diagrams illustrates the stages in the life of a silkworm and the
process of producing silk cloth.
There are 4 main stages in the life cycle of the silkworm, from eggs to
adult moth. The process of silk cloth production involves six steps, from
silkworm cocoon to silk material.
At the first stage in the life cycle of a silkworm, the moth lays its eggs.
Around ten days later, silkworm larvae hatch from the eggs; these larvae
feed on mulberry leaves. Then, after four to six weeks, the larvae
become covered in silk thread, and it takes between three and eight
days for a full cocoon to be produced.
For silk cloth production, a cocoon is first selected and then boiled in
water. After boiling, the silk thread that makes up the cocoon is
unwound, and then several strands of thread are twisted together. At
the fifth and sixth stages in the process, the thread can either be dyed
and then woven into silk fabric, or it can be woven first and then dyed
subsequently.
The flow chart shows how waste paper is recycled.
It is clear that there are six distinct stages in this process, from the initial
collection of waste paper to the eventual production of usable paper.
At the first stage in the paper recycling process, waste paper is collected
either from paper banks, where members of the public leave their used
paper, or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and
separated according to its grade, with any paper that is not suitable for
recycling being removed. Next, the graded paper is transported to a
paper mill.
Stages four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is
cleaned and pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out.
Following this, all remnants of ink and glue are removed from the paper
at the de-inking stage. Finally, the pulp can be processed in a paper
making machine, which makes the end product: usable paper.
The diagram below shows how the Australian Bureau of Meteorology
collects up-to-the-minute information on the weather in order to produce
reliable forecasts.
The figure illustrates the process used by the Australian Bureau of
Meteorology to forecast the weather.
There are four stages in the process, beginning with the collection of
information about the weather. This information is then analyzed,
prepared for presentation, and finally broadcast to the public.
Looking at the first and second stages of the process, there are three
ways of collecting weather data and three ways of analyzing it. Firstly,
incoming information can be received by satellite and presented for
analysis as a satellite photo. The same data can also be passed to a
radar station and presented on a radar screen or synoptic chart. Finally,
drifting buoys also receive data which can be shown on a synoptic chart.
At the third stage of the process, the weather broadcast is prepared on
computers. Finally, it is delivered to the public on television, on the
radio, or as a recorded telephone announcement.
The picture illustrates the way in which water passes from ocean to air
to land during the natural process known as the water cycle.
Three main stages are shown on the diagram. Ocean water evaporates,
falls as rain, and eventually runs back into the oceans again.
Beginning at the evaporation stage, we can see that 80% of water
vapour in the air comes from the oceans. Heat from sun causes water to
evaporate, and water vapour condenses to form clouds. At the second
stage, labelled “precipitation”on the diagram, water falls as rain or
snow.
At the third stage in the cycle, rainwater may take various paths. Some
of it may fall into lakes or return to the oceans via “surface runoff”.
Otherwise, rainwater may filter through the ground, reaching the
impervious layer of the earth. Salt water intrusion is shown to take place
just before groundwater passes into the oceans to complete the cycle.
The diagram illustrates the design and process of a modern landfill for
the disposal of household waste.
Overall, the picture shows its construction, use and closure stages to
dispose of waste in a controlled and environmentally responsible
manner.
In the construction stage, a large man-made hole is excavated/dug into
natural rock. The hole is then lined with a layer of clay and synthetic
material to prevent contamination of the surrounding soil. At the bottom
of the landfill, drainage pipes and a drainage tank are installed to collect
liquid waste.
During the use stage, household waste is dumped into/ deposited into
the landfill. As waste builds up, liquid waste seeps to the bottom, where
it is collected by the drainage pipes and tank, preventing it from leaking
into/ escaping into the environment. In the closure stage, once the
landfill is full/ reaches capacity, it is sealed with a layer of clay to block
off and additional entry of waste of environment exposure.
