Document Summary

#6 notes: zhuang zi and neo-daoism: the dao. The dao is the way to human happiness it is not the way to social engineering: relativity of all knowledge. Uses several arguments: 1) time relativizes all through the dao-ex. there are 2 diff stances on the harper gov, so give it 300 yrs. then what do you think/what will you know/what will it matter how much u know. Aka doctrine of the equality of all things: dream argument. We can t trust our awake reasoning or that we have a ligament world to live in: i) all of our natural compositions differ-yin/yang. Brink and myers composition of personalities->often differ ii) different compositions generate different perspectives: different perspectives will lead to different judgements. There are no universal valid judgements-nobody has a god s eye view of things, instead we judge from our own perspective, it is natural to have a biased and judge others b/c we are all human.

3) One of your fellow Energy Engineers comments that the flue gas leaving the natural gas-fired boiler that you are designing should be at a high temperature because of dew point. Your boss asks you to examine that argument by performing some calculations. The natural gas boiler that you are designing uses a gas with a composition of CH4-95% and C2H6 â 4% and other inert gases 1%. You have a coal fired facility next door and they use a coal with the following analysis C-73.4% H-4.3%, S-1.1%, N-1.3%. The fuelâs proximate analysis is given as follows: Moisture 6.8%, Ash-8.6%, FC- 65.4 and VM 19.2%. The HHV of the Fuel is 13,380 BTUs/lb. The air that is used is ambient at 78 F and 40% relative humidity. This plant is designed to use 22% excess air. Evaluate both cases and show to your boss with calculations whether the dew point is different? If so by how much? And what is the impact?

4) If 90% of the sulfur dioxide produced has to be captured from the coal fired power plant in problem 3 (500 MW Thermal) by using lime (CaO). What is the flow rate of the CaCO3 that would be required if CaO is produced by calcining CaCO3? The efficiency of sulfur capture is 65%.

For example, consider the following argument:
"Measles can't be cured by antibiotics, since Measles is caused by a virus, and antibiotics can't cure a viral infection."

We can see that the argument contains the word "since," which is a premise indicator. We know that what follows "since" will be the premises. We also know, through the process of elimination, that what precedes the word "since" is the conclusion. So my standardized argument will look like this:

1) Measles is caused by a virus. 2) Antibiotics can't cure a viral infection. therefore, 3) Measles can't be cured by antibiotics.

Now we can see the relationship of support between the premises and conclusion. We are asked to accept the conclusion, "Measles can't be cured by antibiotics," based on the two supporting premises. Notice that all of the premises and the conclusion are statements, that is, complete sentences that are either true or false. Also, notice that the premise indicator "since" has been omitted. We always omit premises and conclusion indicators when putting arguments into standard form and make sure that the components of our argument are statements, that is, complete sentences that are either true or false.

For credit on this assignment, do the following:

1) Put the following arguments into standard form:

a) "All dogs are carnivores, consequently, Max is a carnivore, for the reason that Max is a dog."

b) "Rebecca does not pray at the mosque, for she is not a Muslim and only Muslims pray at the mosque."

c) "To every existing thing God wills some good. Hence, since to love any thing is nothing else than to will good to that thing, it is manifest that God loves everything that exists."

2) Create your own argument:

a) Construct an argument of your own using two different premise indicators and one conclusion indicator with the following conclusion: "Now, more than ever, everyone needs to take a class in logic."

b) Then put the argument into standard form.
