Flying objects and falling materials from sections of unstable roofs and walls also collapse hazards that need to be taken into consideration. Exposure to hazmat, dust, and smoke can pose a serious potential hazard in case of a construction collapse. The risk of explosion and the occurrence of fire is often imminent in most construction collapses.

When percentage body fats were compared with heart rates, it was found that there was a positive correlation of 0.372. This means that those who have a high percentage of fat in their bodies are likely to have a higher heart rate than those who have a low percentage of fat. This finding accords with the theory that the heart rate increases in order to break down excess fats to provide energy (Jevon & Ewens, 2012).

The heat exchanger is equipment that helps in heat transfer between fluids acting as a medium of transfer (Çengel  & Turner, 2001). The transfer of heat is two-fold, with the first one being conduction whereby heat is transferred across a wall separating the two fluids. The second mode of heat transfer is convection which involves the transfer of heat within each fluid.

This usually triggers erosion of the blades. Hence the efficiency when superheating is 97.9% which is far much higher than 8.3% when without. This shows the effect of superheating on increasing the dryness of the steam to about 97%. Without superheating, 8.3% efficiency shows that more water droplets are released leading to increased erosion of the turbine.
