The Inexact Science Of Climatology

The Inexact Science of Climatology
Climatology is an inexact science to say the least. The only undisputed facts are: there are gases that
are transparent to ultraviolet light but absorb infrared radiation, creating the 'greenhouse effect', and
human activity has caused the accumulation of greenhouse gasses to increase across the world
(McKibben & Wilcoxen, 2002). The application of microeconomic principles can be used to address
some of the fallout of the climate change caused by the greenhouse effect. In this paper we will take
a look at three such measures and what their application can mean to the industry. The same way
that there are various uncertain factors when accounting for climate change (clouds, ocean
temperature, aerosols' effect, etc.), there are various microeconomic principles that can be applied to
help reduce emissions, with equally diverse results. One of the most limiting forms of creating clean
emissions standards is a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) limited to renewable technology (Paul,
Palmer & Woerman, 2011). This is restrictive because of an unfair distribution of credits dependent
upon which technology the RPS is being applied to. For example, an RPS that treats all renewables
equally would highly encourage the low–cost renewables like bio–mass and wind, while high–cost
renewables like solar would not be promoted as fairly (Paul, Palmer & Woerman). Some states help
address this disproportion allotment with 'carve–outs' or portions of the RPS that addresses separate
renewables

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Mag Welding
Discussions The relative merits and demerits of TIG welding techniques with respect to the
AA5083–H321 alloy are discussed here.
Effect of Mg vaporization on Yield Stress: The concentration of Mg (wt.%) in the fusion zone is
2.55 % (Table 4.4), which is lower than that in the base metal (4.214 %) (Table 3.1) due to the
evaporation of Mg during the welding process. Since Mg is the important strengthening element in
Al–Mg alloys, the concentration reduction of Mg should be responsible for the yield stress decrease
of TIG welded joint.
Effect of Mn and Fe vaporization on Yield Stress: Moreover the Al6(Fe,Mn) particles distribute
heterogeously in the base metal, as shown in Fig.3.8(b), ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The reduction in the chemical composition of the vaporizing element viz., Mn and Fe has normally
caused dissolution of Al6 (Fe, Mn) particles in the higher incident power laser beam welding. The
hardness values of LB welded joint at 3.5 kW are less than that of the base metal because of the
absence of the higher hardness intermetallic compounds. This observation of absence of the various
particles in the weldzone and HAZ was correlating with earlier observation done by Moon and
Metzbower (1983). Moon and Metzbower have found that only 5 % of the precipitates were
remaining in the LB weld zone compared to the base metal. Effect of defect on yield stress and
tensile strength: The porous cross–section at 3 kW LB weld reduced the tensile properties.
Reduction of porosity in the subsequent LB welds at 3.25 kW and 3.5 kW increases the tensile
properties. The reduced cross–sectional area of the LB weld act as stress raiser and decrease in
tensile properties has been observed. The fine grains formed due to LB welding generally increasee
the tensile properties. Due to combined effect of fine grains and stress concentration at the cross–
section, a minimum decrease of 15 % was observed in tensile properties at 3.5 kW incident power

Renewable Fuels And The Energy Issue
Investigating whether a renewable fuel produces the same level of energy as an equivalent amount
of nonrenewable fuel would be beneficial to help save Earth's natural resources and is a very
relevant and important science project. The purpose of this project is to figure out which type of
fuels is most efficient. In my science project, I will be burning various types of renewable fuels and
non– renewable fuels and comparing the duration that they burn and comparing the temperature that
they burn.
Finding the most effective fuel could solve a global issue and debate about which is better to use.
Biofuels refers to materials that are recently dead and can be used as a gaseous fuel, a solid, or a
liquid. Biofuels are also known as the nonrenewable fuels. On the other hand, agro fuels are derived
from specific crops and are also known as the renewable fuels. In conclusion, I will be testing
multiple types of fuels to compare my own results on a global energy issue.
Introduction
If I burn fuels to compare renewable and non–renewable fuels, which one will be more efficient?
That is the question I will be answering in my science project. It is important to figure out our earths
energy supplies and needs and how to get the most efficient and renewable fuel. Throughout history,
humans have tried to find available energy sources. Fuels have been an important commodity to
humans for many reasons. Humans throughout history have needed fuels to convert to energy for

Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The demand of clean water has always been a major universal concern and this issue is becoming
more urgent with the expectation of water deficiency to an alarming rate by the year 2025. Hence,
there are needs a new technologies for desalination and wastewater treatments, to meet the
requirement water demands with credible and affordable water sources. [Teoh and Chung, 2009] (1)
Desalination is a process in which saline water is separated into two parts using different forms of
energy. One that has a low con–centration of dissolved salts (fresh water), and the other which has a
much higher concentration of dissolved salts than the original feed water (brine concentrate).[ Shatat

The membrane distillation process offers some benefits compared to other separation processes [
Pangarkar et al., 2011, Alcheikhhamdon et al., 2015](4):
1. Operating at lower temperature than the boiling point of feed solution.
2. Can be performed at lower operating pressure compared to pressure–driven separation processes,
resulting in reduced costs for the process and membrane.
3. Reduced vapor spaces.
4. Unlimited by high osmotic pressure and fouling.
5. Permits very high separation factor of non–volatile Solute.
6. Producing very high–purity water.
7. Can use any form of low –grade waste heat or coupled with solar energy systems which makes it
attractive for production of drinkable water from brackish water.

Advantage And Disadvantage Of Smartphones
ABSTRACT Now –a–days mobile phones have become a fundamental part of our daily life. It is
very difficult to see people who doesn't have smartphone. All smartphones use lithium ion batteries
which are rechargeable and capable of holding charge for a short time. This issue can be overcome
by using batteries made of graphene which can be charged quickly and hold the charge for
comparatively longer time compared to Lithium ion batteries. Super capacitors, unlike batteries can
be charged quickly but cannot store charge for a long time. Graphene based super capacitors are said
to store almost as much energy as Lithium ion batteries, charge and discharge in seconds and
maintain all this over tens of thousands of charging cycles. ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
For example, Graphene–based touch panel modules have been sold in volume to cell phone,
wearable device and home appliance manufacturers.
Graphene supercapacitors serve as energy storage alternate to conventional electrolytic batteries.
Among benefits are fast charging, long life span and environmentally friendly manufacturing.. By
2017, commercial graphene supercapacitor units were obtainable for industrial power applications,
with maximal power output of 1500 kW. In 2016, a regenerative braking system for large trucks
using a graphene–based supercapacitor was developed. In 2016, development of an electric car that
will use Graphene supercapacitor instead of lithium–ion batteries was announced.
Its low energy density as compared to lithium–ion batteries is being spoken. The intended electric
car would aim a minimum scope of 400 miles (640 km). In supplement to electronic applications,
graphene has also been discovered to improve the colour of photonic crystals, hence has capability
for applications in optical devices. The international market for graphene touched $9 million by
2012 with most sales in the semiconductor, electronics, battery, energy storage or conversion, and
composites

Alternative Cars And Its Effect On The Environment
Background Conventional vehicles burn fossil fuels and emit exhaust fumes to the atmosphere. Not
only have gasoline vehicles depleted natural resources, they also have caused severe environmental
pollutions, especially in some populous nations such as China and India. [1] CO2 is the main
contributor of the greenhouse effect. 97% of greenhouse emission is carbon dioxide. And in turn,
road transportation has become the largest sector in producing carbon dioxide. [2] Because of the
decreasing natural resources and the increasing environmental pollution, scientists focus more on
new technologies that can help reduce those consequences. However, even though scientists hope
hybrid cars could substitute traditional cars in order to reduce ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
The most apparent difference is that hybrid cars have an internal combustion engine accompanied
by an electric motor. When a car is moving at a low speed, the ICE (internal combustion engine)
only provides power to the electric motor and the motor drives the entire vehicle. Thus, an electric
motor helps reduce fuel consumption as well as car emission. Moreover, a smarter management of
power called the regenerative braking system is introduced to hybrid vehicles. It converts kinetic
energy to electrical energy during braking so that heat energy due to friction will not be wasted. The
electrical energy can be used to charge the storage battery. [4] In addition, the aerodynamics and
weight of the car body are carefully considered so the power supplied to drive the car can be lower
than usual. Hybrid cars also have an adaptive strategy at traffic stops and idle periods. The engine
shuts down so that exhaust will not accumulate at places such as traffic stops.
Apart from technical aspects, governments also take efforts to popularize hybrid cars for home use.
In March 2013, the Chinese government extended the subsidy on electrical and hybrid cars for three
more years. [3] And in certain traffic crowded cities such as Beijing and Hangzhou, electrical and
hybrid cars have privileges on traffic restriction days. Nevertheless, customers still won 't buy
hybrid cars because they do not believe that the technology is mature enough to replace traditional
ICE cars with new energy

Environmental Issues Associated With Conventional Power...
Inefficiencies and environmental issues associated with conventional power plants provide the drive
for developments in ''on–site'' and ''near–site'' power generation. Combined, heating, and power
(CHP) systems can possibly increase resource energy efficiency and reduce air pollutant emissions
noticeably. CHP systems produce both electric and thermal energy, changing over 75– 80% of the
fuel source into useful energy [International Energy Agency (IEA), 2008]. International Energy
Agency (IEA) reported in 2007 that CHP systems produce approximately 9% of global power
generation. The global capacity of CHP systems is estimated at around 330 GWe (Gigawatt–
electric) [IEA, 2008]. The application of CHP systems also has great potential to for reducing
environmental impact and increasing energy efficiency. The Department of Energy and Climate
Change (DECC), UK, have estimated that the substitution of micro–CHP systems could reduce
annual emissions of CO2 by up to 2.1 tons compared to condensing boilers and electricity grid
(DECC, 2011).
CHP systems can be categorized according to their power ratings. Different manufacturers give
different categories to their products. This could be partly due to the fact that different terms that can
be used to describe decentralized energy systems. A category used by Ackermann et al. (2001) and
Koeppel, (2003) is as follows; "Micro generation: < 5 kW; Small– scale generation: 5 kW–5 MW;
Medium generation: 5 MW–50 MW; Large generation: >50 MW".

Study Of Recent Wind Power Generation
Study of Recent Wind Power Generation in China
Wind is a natural phenomenon on Earth, it is caused by the sun 's radiant heat. The sun to the Earth
's surface, different heat throughout the Earth 's surface, result in temperature and cause the
formation of atmospheric convection wind. It is estimated that solar energy reaching the Earth, is
only about 2% conversion of wind energy, but the total capacity is still very substantial. Global wind
energy is about 2.74 trillion kilowatts, which can make create 20 billion kilowatts of wind power, 10
times more than the total amount of water power.

Currently, the global power demand has risen by 2%, while the annual growth of wind power
generation is 12%. According to the European Wind Energy Association, the world 's wind power
installed capacity in 2020 will be 1.2 BKw, and will be 2.7 BKw in 2030. Then wind power will
account for 12% and 21% of the world 's total energy. Wind power will gradually become the main
alternative energy power sources. In foreign wind power industry, the US mainstream unit is 1.5
Mw, some of European countries reached 1.5–2.5 Mw. Wind turbines has been more and more
popular in foreign countries, and some of the developed countries has started researching on 3–4
MW huge wind turbines. Wind power generation will gradually approach the conventional thermal
power generation. China 's wind power industry started earlier, but the development is very slow
until the 1990s. With the strong support of national policy, the wind power industry has made great
progress, and gradually formed an emerging market. Figure 1–1 shows China 's wind power
installed capacity growth trend in the past 10 years. Fig 1–1
According to preliminary estimates, China 's offshore wind energy resources are about three times
of the land, which is about 750 MKW. All wind energy resources that can be developed reach about
one BKW, equivalent to about 2 times the current installed capacity of China 's total electricity.

HYDROFUEL CELLS
Abstract: Electricity is generated from the energy; we get, by the burning of fossil fuels, where the
fuel can be stored and used when needed according to the immediate energy requirements. Hence it
is speaking to a concentrated and stable type of energy. On the opposite side, we have some
irregular types of energy, for example, wind, wave, tidal and sunlight based. These can 't be put
away and must be utilized according to accessibility; generally their energy possibilities are lost. For
the usage of these energy sources, there is a need to convert this energy into suitable forms for
storage. For this Hydrofuel Cells are one of the best way to create and store energy as they possess
many positive qualities such as renewable, environment friendly, readily available elements for
electricity generation etc. Here it is discussed about the working of Hydrofuel cells, advantages and
disadvantages and lots more. The paper also contributes the comparison of Hydrofuel cells with the

The Deregulation Of Generation Facilities Essay
INTRODUCTION . Centralization of generation facilities give way to smaller, more distributed
generation partially due to loss of traditional economies of scale.Penetration of distributed
generation across U.S has not yet reached significant levels. However that situation is changing
rapidly, requires attention to issues related to high penetration of distributed generation within the
distribution system.Distributed generation encompasses wide range of prime mover technologies,
such as IC engines, gas turbines, microturbines, photovoltaic, F.C(fuel cell), wind–power. Most
emerging technologies such as micro–turbines, photovoltaic, F.C's, gas internal combustion engines
with permanent magnet generator require an inverter to interface with electrical distribution system,
These emerging technologies have lower emissions, potential to have lower cost negating traditional
economies of scale.All applications include power support at substations, deferral of T&D upgrades,
onsite generating. Indiscriminant application of individual distributed generators can cause as many
problems as it may solve. better way to realize emerging potential of distributed generation is to take
system approach which views generation, associated loads as subsystem or "microgrid". This
approach allows for local control of distributed generation thereby reducing or eliminating need for
central dispatch. During disturbances, generation, corresponding loads can separate from
distribution system to isolate

Distributed generation, also called on–site generation, dispersed generation, embedded generation,
decentralized generation, decentralized energy or distributed energy generates electricity from many
small energy sources. Currently, industrial countries generate most of their electricity in large
centralized facilities, such as fossil fuel (coal, gas powered) nuclear or hydropower plants. These
plants have excellent economies of scale, but usually transmit electricity long distances and
negatively affect the environment.
For example, coal power plants are built away from cities to prevent their heavy air pollution from
affecting the populace. In addition, such plants are often built near collieries to minimize the cost of
transporting coal. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
If the UK were to implement this countrywide an additional 2–4 GWe would become available.
(Note that the energy is already being generated elsewhere to provide the high initial gas pressure –
this method simply distributes the energy via a different route.)Future generations of electric
vehicles will have the ability to deliver power from the battery into the grid when needed. This
could also be an important distributed generation resource.
Recently interest in Distributed Energy Systems (DES) is increasing, particularly onsite generation.
This interest is because larger power plants are economically unfeasible in many regions due to
increasing system and fuel costs, and more strict environmental regulations. In addition, recent
technological advances in small generators, Power Electronics, and energy storage devices have
provided a new opportunity for distributed energy resources at the distribution level, and especially,
the incentive laws to utilize renewable energies has also encouraged a more decentralized approach
to power

DES Essay
The attention on the distributed energy system (DES) has grown considerably over the last few
years. In comparison to the conventional centralized large–scale power plant, the DES shows great
advantages by offering end users a diversified energy supply, higher power efficiency, lower
transmission and distribution losses and lower pollutant emissions. DES typically is a suite of on–
site grid–connected or stand–alone energy system and has various types such as combined cooling,
heating, and power plant (CCHP), biomass–fueled plant, solar power plant and wind power plant et
al [1][2]. It is widely applicable in industrial plants, commercial and resident buildings, with energy
efficiency and economic competitiveness [3].
In spite of the significant development of DES, the rational design and management of DES, that
could maximize the economic and efficient saving benefits, is still a complex and challenge task. In
order to meet end–users' energy demands, the DES design requires a reasonable determination of
system structure and configuration by selecting appropriate equipment including their capacities and
number. On the other hand, the optimal management of DES is demanded, and therefore, the
operating strategies including operation status and load allocation of equipment need to be
determined.
In order to address the aforementioned task regarding the DES design and management,
mathematical modeling or simulation has been used widely to evaluate the characteristics and

Biogas is a clean environment friendly fuel. Raw biogas contains about 55–65% methane (CH4),
30–45% carbon dioxide (CO2), traces of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and fractions of water vapours.
A typical composition of biogas can be seen on the following table:

Water is also undesirable in biogas stream to the engines since it is responsible for the corrosion
effects. It also reacts with carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid which is corrosive. Hence water too
along with hydrogen sulphide must be removed during pre–treatment.
Siloxanes are silica compounds which are derive from the anaerobic digestion of materials such as
household waste and municipal wastewater. Siloxanes presence in biogas is extremely undesirable,
since they react with oxygen at high temperatures and form silica dioxide (SiO2), which gets
deposited in the engine and other equipment thus causing serious damages on them. site on data

Factors Affecting the Biogas Generation
Temperature and Pressure
Fermentation Temperature will greatly affect biogas production. Methane can be produced within a
fairly wide range of temperature. Methane forming anaerobic bacteria works best in the temperature
between 29°C to 41°C or between 49°C to 60°C and pressure of about 1.1 to 1.2 bars absolute. The
temperature between 32°C–35°C are most efficient for stable and continuous production of

methane. Biogas produced outside this range will have a higher percentage of carbon dioxide and
other gases. The production of biogas is fastest during summer and it decreases at lower temperature
during winter. At 20°C the rate

Renzo Piano is a well–known architect, best known for his phantasmagoric architectural
masterpiece, the Shard in London that constitutes a major landmark in α big city like London.

The architect and Mr. Sellar applied for planning permission. Southwark Council was an important
supporter of the skyscraper, which had been administered planning permission at the end of March
2002. Nevertheless, the works for the Shard almost ceased because of the fall of the Twin World
Trade Towers, in New York. According to Mr. Sellar ''the Shard will have ''refuges'' built into its
core''. Furthermore, when plans for the Shard of Glass were first considered, environmentalists
labeled the Shard as a "spike through the heart" of the heritage of London.
Oppositions arose after the plans for the Shard passed through the Council and conservation groups
expressed their concerns about the changing skyline of London and that the skyscraper would
shadow over the Cathedral of St. Paul, the Tower of London. Renzo Piano stated that ''St. Paul
Cathedral is an extraordinary monument and an intrinsic part of London's heritage. I believe that the
new tower will not disturb its stateliness. They are breathing the same air, sharing the same
atmosphere; they are nurtured at the same source.''. It should be mentioned that St Paul's Cathedral,
which for hundreds of year was the tallest structure, and even today is protected by laws which
protect the sight lines to the cathedral, is a monument to the glory of God, symbol of hope, strength
and resilience of the city of London.
In the light of the above, in July 2002, the then Deputy Prime Minister John Leslie

Purchasing a hybrid car which operates on alternative power or one with a diesel engine can provide
a tax credit in the range of $250.00 to $3,400.00 depending on the gas savings and total vehicle
weight. Furthermore, if two hybrids are bought, two tax credits can be claimed.
Charitable Donations
One of the more common tax credits claimed relates to charitable donations. While it may seem
strange to discuss this in a study of eco–friendly tax credits it does involve reuse or a form of
recycling. For many years, taxpayers have been donating old clothing, household goods, furniture
and sporting equipment to their local non–profit thrift store. If not for these stores, unused items
would be disposed of in the trash where it would most likely makes its way to a landfill.
Instead, these donations reap a double benefit for all involved. The individual donor receives a tax
benefit on their annual tax filing and the thrift store is able to serve their client base by offering
slightly worn or used goods at an affordable price. Guidelines for determining the value of donated
goods is often available through various

Permanent makeup is a cosmeticﾧ technique which employs tattoosﾧ (permanent pigmentation of
the dermis) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeupﾧ, such as eyelining and other
permanent enhancing colors to the skinﾧ of the faceﾧ, lipsﾧ, and eyelidsﾧ. It is also used to produce
artificial eyebrowsﾧ, particularly in people who have lost them as a consequence of old age, disease,

Hair Extentions
Artificial hair integrations, more commonly known as hair extensions (rarely referred to as a hair
hat), add length to human hairﾧ.
Hair extensions are methods of lengthening one's hair by incorporating artificial hair or natural hair
collected from other individuals. These hair techniques are advanced and are used to change the hair
drastically without looking unrealistic.
Clip–in or Clip On Hair Extensions
This technique is the least permanent and can be very effective without the disadvantages such as
traction alopeciaﾧ associated with glue extensions. The hair weft has small toupee clips sewn onto
them. Usually a set of clip–in extensions averages eight strips of human hair in varying widths from
two inches to eight inches. Starting at the nape of the neck, the hair is sectioned neatly, then the weft
is placed onto this section with the clips open and facing the scalp. Each clip is snapped into place.
It can be helpful to lightly backcomb each section for a more secure grip. This is repeated until each
clip–in weft is in place. Clip–ins can be worn all day and all night; however, they must be removed
before sleeping. Some people wear clip–ins just for night life, while others wear

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is focused "solar assisted air conditioning of buildings" in
their task 25. The solar assisted air conditioning is very favorable technology to meet the demand
for residential application. Later on, IEA task 38 is focused on "solar air conditioning and
refrigeration". In which the global research has started to working in the small capacity of
absorption machine. The important milestone in the research of absorption system is micro–CHP
(Combined Heat and Power), and it can be helpful to provide hot water and electricity for the
residential building. The available capacity range of absorption machine from 40 to 300 kW is
shown in Table 1.7. The increasing global market due increasing the small size building cooling
demand, there is an emerging research need to operate the absorption system below 40 kW. France,
China, Japan, Spain, Germany, India, United States and Mexico are leading countries in absorption
system manufacturing. Other than above manufacturer is shown in Table 1.7, Voltas, Trane, Blue

Benefits Of Solar Scale Renewable Energy
Abstract–This paper will discuss the topic of small–scale Renewable Energy (RE) technologies,
their progress and prospects in developing countries. Specifically, five technologies will be given a
closer look: tidal array, geothermal, anaerobic digestion, small–scale hydro (micro and mini), and
small combined heat and power (CHP). The paper will explain the technologies and the setting in
which they can be applied, and look at case studies from developing countries where small–scale
RE are making a difference. A particular look at those five small–scale technology has been chosen
since some of them are underdeveloped and show promising potential for installations. The paper
will conclude by describing the potential development prospects in terms of markets where these
technologies could, respectively, expand.

Protein Essay
Proteins are widely used in the food industry as foaming and emulsifying agents (Wilde et al. 2004).
They stabilize oil–in–water emulsions by forming an interfacial membrane where the adsorbed
proteins unfold and rearrange their secondary and tertiary structures to expose hydrophobic residues
to the hydrophobic phase (MacRitchie, 1978). Plant proteins are low cost, non–toxic, natural,
biocompatible, and biodegradable polymers. In recent years, plant proteins have drawn increasing
attention from the food and pharmaceutical industries as an alternative to animal proteins due to
increased consumer concerns over the safety of animal–derived products (e.g., prion diseases) (Liu
et al., 2010). Among plant proteins, soybean proteins are the ... Show more content on

Among the chemical treatments, pH–shifting is a relatively new method that adjusts the pH of a
protein solution to extreme basic or acidic conditions to unfold the protein, followed by changing
the pH back to neutral to refold the protein. This unfolding–refolding process has been reported to
effectively modify the protein functional properties (Jiang et al., 2010, Lee et al., 2016). High
intensity ultrasound or power ultrasound refer to sonic waves that are at frequencies higher than
sound audible to the human ear, with sound intensities in the range of 0.1–1 W/cm2 (Feng and Yang,
2011). The mode of action of ultrasound–induced protein–structure modification is often attributed
to acoustic cavitation. The physical forces produced by cavitation, such as shear forces produced by
micro–streaming and normal impingement from the water jets at the solid–liquid interfaces, help to
break down the protein particles or aggregates in dispersions (Lee et al., 2016). Conventional
ultrasonic modification of protein functionality is performed at relatively low cavitation intensities.
Consequently, a relatively long treatment time, i.e. 15–30 min for soy proteins (Hu et al., 2013) is
required to produce meaningful changes in protein structures. There is a

Sources Of Renewable Energy Sources
The continued reliance on fossil fuels over the centuries has led to these resources being almost
completely exhausted. Furthermore, their use has had extremely negative effects on the
environment, namely pollution and global warming as a result of the build–up of greenhouse gases.
It is therefore essential to consider alternative, cleaner energy sources. It was decided that six
renewable energy sources should be researched in order to determine which are most suitable for
use in the West of Scotland.
Biomass Energy
Biomass is biological matter originating from living or recently living organisms, and it is the oldest
source of renewable energy. The biomass used for energy normally comes from plant–based
material.1 During photosynthesis, the chlorophyll in plants captures the sun's energy, in order to
convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates. Subsequently, combusting these carbohydrates
produces water and carbon dioxide, hence releasing the energy initially captured from the sun.2
The most widely used method of converting biomass to electricity involves burning it to produce
steam, this then causes rotation in a turbine, and this kinetic energy produces electicity.2 This
process is shown below:
Biomass is a completely renewable source of energy: in addition to the energy it stores being from
the sun, biomass can re–grow over a reasonably short time period.2 It is widely available and can be
sourced from within the UK, and in fact every

Climate Change And Environmental Threats
Climate change and environmental threats came more into focus in the last years and presently they
represent a large challenge for the society. This means that environmental considerations have to be
integrated into a number of different decisions made by businesses, individuals, policymakers and
public administrators (Finnveden et al.

solutions to these challenges' (Chalmers University, 2012)

Environmental effects include the materials and energy resources required to make the product, and
also, the wastes and emissions produced in the process. It is often called as 'cradle to grave' view of
seeing resource consumption (Pehnt 2006). Results of LCAs can be valuable for recognizing areas
with large environmental impact, and for evaluating and improving designs. Therefore, in order to
identify the environmental performances, for example, emissions and energy savings, from different
type of renewable energy, a full evaluation from 'cradle to grave' should be done. LCA is then has
been the method to measure the total impact of resource consumption. LCA is a multistep technique
for calculating the lifetime environmental impact of a product or service.
The International Standard ISO 14040 described the levels of an LCA as follows:
Goal and scope definition
Inventory analysis
Impact assessment

Components Of Building A Gaming Pc
My topic of interest this week is learning about a few components involved in building a gaming
PC. I believe this is a great topic for me as my intended professional goal is to become a video game
developer. Where would a professional game developer, like myself, be without a proper gaming
PC. Plus, I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to share my passion. I have owned
many gaming consoles, PC's, and Mac's over the years. If you are a true gamer, you will already
know which platform is the best for you. Gaming consoles like the PS4 or XBOX ONE, while a
great source for gaming entertainment are, "cheaper because they do not have a graphics card,
instead they have an APU which is the GPU and CPU combined." (The Geeky Kids ... Show more

They also have the lowest number of developed games between all the platforms. So now I'm
thinking why can't I have both a iMac and gaming PC? Well, after doing some research, I think
having both might actually be a strong possibility for me. Now getting into the main portion of my
topic why PC is the best for gaming. First off, PC's use only a GPU, allowing this item to be
upgraded while advancements in technology take place. This, in turn, allows a PC to have full
access to incredible graphics, giving the gamer a higher level gaming experience. There are three
primary components that are the foundations to building a great PC, "they are the central processing
unit (CPU), also called a processor, the video card and memory (RAM)." (Bellerophon08, 2013)
You will find many different brands and styles, such as an AMD FX 8350 AM3+ 4.0Ghz (CPU) or a
Kingston HyperX blu 1600mhz 2x4GB (RAM). They all depend on what suits your individual
needs and budget. One of the most exiting components I get to talk about, is the motherboard. Just
like its title this is what brings all the components together in harmony. One interesting fact I didn't
know, but was crucial to the proper function of a PC, is a motherboard socket type. Seeing as they
are not interchangeable, you need to make sure you know what CPU you are investing in, as you are
unable to mix and match a motherboard and CPU brand. For example, if you

In computing, a bus is a physical connection that allows data to be transported to and from different
components. An example of a bus could be wires, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) or copper tracks.
The buses are shared between numerous components so that they can communicate. The idea or
purpose for buses is to save space on boards and in computers, and to reduce the amount of path
ways. The way in which a bus can reduce the number of pathways is by using a 'Data highway'.

ME3 LITERATURE RESEARCH PROJECT Microgeneration is not living up to expectations: A
report that will first review the drivers, barriers and constraints and then refine the outlook of small
scale power generation. AUTHOR: AYOBAMI FALANA SUPERVISOR: Dr. MIKE RISTIC
Abstract Microgeneration is the small–scale production of heat and electricity, traditionally from
low–carbon sources. A study suggested that by 2050, microgeneration could provide 30–40% of the
UK 's electricity needs and help reduce annual household carbon emissions by 15%. (DTI, 2005).
Microgeneration addresses some of the fundamental problems with the centralised system that we
presently use to generate power, and some commentators (Greenpeace, 2006; Greenpeace, 2005)
have claimed that distributed generation should be the basis of any low–carbon economy. This view
was shared by many environmental activists and government bodies however uptake has not
matched the initial enthusiasm. This paper will first review the technologies encompassed by
microgeneration. Then analyse the drivers, barriers and constraints that have restricted the growth of
Microgeneration, before concluding by refining the future outlook of small scale power generation.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Microgrids
Microgrids (MGs) are defined as an integration of distributed energy resources (DER) units, energy
storage systems (ESS), and a group of controllable and non– controllable loads, which is capable to
be used by connecting to a grid or islanded modes. The MG plays a key role in moderation of power
balance of supply and demand by connection to a grid, which sells power to the grid or buys power
from the grid. In separated mode, the MG is apart from the grid, in which the customers purchase a
reliable power from MG, considering DG bids [1, 2]. Considering a MG integrated with DER,
combined heat and power (CHP) systems, and energy storage technologies, an environmental
friendly, low cost, and reliable energy could be attained. CHP systems play a key role on reducing
the cost of thermal energy generation by recovering the heat wasted during generation of electrical
energy [3]. CHP economic dispatch (CHPED) aims to minimize the cost of generation of heat and
power, in which mutual dependency of heat and power and heat–power capacity of the cogeneration
units should be taken into account [4]. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The investigated grid–connected MG in this reference consist of WT, PV, micro turbine, fuel cell,
and energy storage devices. For minimizing the operation cost of fuel cell power plant, particle
swarm optimization algorithm is employed in [17], in which various tariffs for electrical energy
purchase and sell in each hour of day are taken into account. Providing the optimal solution of a
PEM fuel cell power plant (FCPP) which is connected to a small–scale MG is proposed in [18],
utilizing evolutionary programming (EP) optimization procedure. The capability of purchasing and
selling electricity from the local grid and considering thermal output from the fuel cell and the
required thermal energy from the grid are remarked in the proposed model in this

As of right now, scientists are coming up new advance projects to power, and will help add
intelligence to the transportation system. The advancement will help decrease carbon dioxide
emissions, traffic delays, and the cost. This will also make commuting and travel more efficient. The
cost will be lower due to not building railroad tracks. The traffic will decrease due to the various
sensors to guide the trains on the road. It will make commuting and travel more efficient because the
units can detach and going different directions. Another resource scientist might use is magnetic
levitation(maglev). To create a maglev at high speeds of travel, the train needs to run off of electro–
magnetism. Also the train need a strong enough force and large enough electrical power

Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however,
use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's
surface. There are three types of geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle.
Dry steam power plants draw from underground resources of steam. The steam is piped directly
from underground wells to the power plant, where it is directed into a turbine/generator unit.
Flash steam power plants are the most common. They use geothermal reservoirs of water with
temperatures greater than 360°F. This very hot water flows up through wells in the ground under its
own pressure. As it flows upward, the pressure decreases and some of the hot water boils into steam.
Binary cycle power plants operate on water at lower temperatures of about 225°–360°F. These
plants use the heat from the hot water to boil a working fluid, usually an organic compound with a
low boiling point. The working fluid is vaporized in a heat exchanger and used to turn a turbine. The
water is then injected back into the ground to be reheated. The water and the working fluid are kept
separated during the whole process, so there are little or no air

This chapter includes general information related to the main subject of this project which is a
fogging system. How does the system work?
The working principle of the fog cooling system can be summarized as this system utilizes very
high pressure water about 1000 psi or 70 pars which occurred from a pump with high quality and
delivery lines to create a very fine droplets size nearly 10 micron from specifically designed
nozzles. Then, these fine droplets are quickly evaporated and absorbed the heat found in the air. In

For better performance, cooling fans sometimes are added for the purpose of air circulation in
closed areas, where the expected temperature will differ based on the climatic conditions, where
cooling to 12°C is possible under the best circumstances (Yuwana et al., 2011). Evaporative Cooling
Fog evaporative cooling system is similar to the conventional misting system in many aspects. But it
works at a much higher pressure reached to (1000 – 2000 lb in–2; 7000 – 14000 kPa) and tiny
nozzles with (1.2 gal hr–1; 4.5 L hr–1) volume. The tiny droplets can evaporate more quickly and
efficiently, the evaporation rate is influenced also by the area of the surface, where the relation
between them is proportionally. High quality filtration and water systems are necessary for reducing
the clogging nozzles problem (Giacomelli, 2003).
The evaporative cooling system is usually consisted of two lengths of fog nozzles (0.5 in; 1.3 cm)
PVC pipe diameter. The nozzles may be made of high pressure, stainless steel and it could produce a
water droplets or "fog" with 0.2 mm diameter at (1.3 ml s–1 ;1.2 gal hr–1) flow rate and (3450 kPa
;500 lb in–2) pressure. The effectiveness of cooling is defined as the ratio of the reduction of the
immediate inner dry bulb air temperature to the depression of the inner wet bulb, before fogging, is
determined and calculated to 50% – 70%. thus, if the

further development and constant economic growth without security of energy supply. But new
reserves of fossil fuels are becoming more difficult to find, what makes energy industry to invest in

will get higher but the demand of energy does not seem to decrease. What is more, the European
Union hence the United Kingdom set themselves ambitious targets of reduction in greenhouse gas
emission. The initiative includes, inter alia, raising the share of energy consumption produced by
renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and biomass. The British Government implemented
few policies to promote generation of electricity from renewable sources: Non–Fossil Fuel
Obligation (1990), the Renewables (Scotland) Obligation (2002) and the Renewable Energy Feed–
in Tariff (2010). The UK government's policies such as FITs scheme encourage consumers to
produce renewable energy from micro–generators. It is being achieved by offering long–term
contracts for energy generated from renewable sources. It accelerates technological development but

Advantages And Disadvantage Of Microwave Dryinging
Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
1.1 Introduction
Heat drying has an important role in industrial processing. It uses conventional drying processes
such as conduction, infrared radiation or convection, and a heat drying process utilizing microwave
energy which is a better solution in many problems in process technology.
Microwave (MW) drying is a rapid dehydration technique that can be applied to specific foods.
Increasing concerns over product quality and production costs have motivated the researchers to
investigate and the industry to adopt microwave drying technology. The advantages of microwave
drying include the following: shorter drying time, improved product quality, and flexibility in
producing a wide variety of dried products. Drying temperature and microwave power control are
two most important factors in microwave drying industry. These factors greatly affect different
parameters like drying temperatures, drying time, drying efficiency and the product quality. Due to
absorption of microwave radiation by water molecules, microwave drying results into generation of
heat that leads to vaporization of water and volatile components. Microwaves will result to vibration

The combined dielectric plus forced convection heating exhibits a synergistic effect on the drying
process, that is, a higher drying speed as compared to forced convection drying or microwave
drying, considered separately. This happens because the pressure gradient inside the product due to
the dielectric heating favors the transport of moisture to the surface, from where it is removed by the
hot air (Smith, 1979). It was concluded that the use of microwaves had a greater effect on increasing
efficiency and lowering drying time for materials with lower moisture content and high
hygroscopicity (Lefeuvre, S., et al.,

Gas Turbine Essay
Gas turbines compete with Steam (Nuclear and Fossil Fuel) power plants to generate power around
the globe. Historically gas turbines have suffered from low levels of efficiency and poor reliability,
resulting in a reliance on the above mentioned alternatives to supply the consumer demand for
electricity. Initial assumptions and original efficiency values will be based on the ideal Brayton
Cycle, by replacing an open cycle Fig.1 with a closed cycle Fig. 2 (Huang & Gramoll, n.d.)
This report will identify and discuss the improvements made to the modern day Gas turbine (when
compared against the simple Brayton Cycle Fig. 3), which show the significant progress made in
terms of efficiency.
In order to make gas turbines cost effective there is a need to improve overall cycle efficiency. Gas
turbines fundamentally operate by utilisation of a compressor and turbine to drive a common shaft.
The rotating shaft can then be connected to a generator to provide electricity, a propeller for ships or
the turbine can be utilised to provide propulsion of aircraft. However this report will focus on the
gas turbine within the power generation industry and will look at modifications and improvements
