Economical and industrial development are two of the most important elements on the evolutional way for any country and nationality. However, it often happens so that people discover something new and hurl themselves into using it before making throughout estimations of potential risks and hazards. This is especially common if such newly discovered entity (an invention, or mineral, or a way to dig out minerals – this could be anything) is capable of making large sums of money: then there is no particular doubt of this entity becoming incredibly popular and exploited to the extent of being overused. To top ...

Within a refrigeration system, the inside of the refrigerator is known as the cold-air reservoir, while the area surrounding the outside of the refrigerator is the hot-air reservoir. A refrigerator works by sucking the heat out of the cold-air reservoir and dumping it in the hot reservoir. The work to do this process is supplied by an electricity-powered compressor that is connected to a wall outlet. The efficiency of a refrigeration system can be estimated with a ratio known as the coefficient of performance, or COP. The COP is given by the benefit divided by the cost, or

Introduction

The world of art has always been driven by an immortal tradition where the sole artist worked as the creative force and his relationship with the art was way more influential than the traditional author-art relation. In the case of films, the concept of the ‘Auteur’ explains one of the most significant styles of cinematic direction in which the director becomes too dominant over the entire film that he is being ranked as the author for the film. Some directors in the world cinema are reckoned to have such a strong authorial presence in their films that is very ...

Global warming and climate change are two different terms that have been used over the years to describe different phenomena. Global warming refers to a subsequent increase in the global average temperature (Black & Weisel 5). On the other hand, climate change refers to global climate changes due to increasing average global temperatures brought by changes in rain patterns, increased drought and heat waves. These future projections in the change of global rainfall patterns can be derived from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports over the years. The argument that the use of term global warming has been ...

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion Energy Source The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

Oil and natural gas are the two primary types of fossil fuels that the world relies on for energy and also for various other products. Crude oil and gas are mined beneath the earth’s surface where they formed a long time ago. The products origin can be traced back to the remains of animals and plants that existed millions of years ago as marine life. The living materials die and sink to the sea floor where they pile on top of each other. The successful conversion of the remains into oil or gas is only possible if the ...

E COLI O157

WHAT IS ECO157? Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 or otherwise known as “EHEC O157” is also called as the “verocytotoxin” which produces “shiga toxin” and the end result is EcO157 (Islam, et al., 2014, p.1). The E coli O157 has been reported as a food-borne pathogen known world-wide. One of the harmful effects of E coli O157 is that it can create hemorrhagic colitis that carries severe sequelae such as the hemolytic uremic syndrome as the product of the “shiga toxin” that came from the organism that can act on the human kidney, intestine and other parenchymatous organs (Islam, et ...

Toxic water remains a primary cause of child and infant mortality, and by 2005, an approximated 1.8 billion population will be residing in areas with total water shortage. With massive water scarcity and waste management difficulties, numerous groups and organizations have come up with innovations to locally and cheaply convert sewage into clean water sources for drinking or irrigation. In the United States, billions of dollars are spent in treating contaminated water with high-quality drinking water. Therefore, the increasing use recycled wastewater for drinking, landscaping, toilet flushing and irrigation is a good concept to sustain and conserve freshwater resources. ...

ABSTRACT

The research argues that although a gas flaring stoppage is not successfully in-place in Nigeria, fitting the appropriate technology with complementary economic and institutional factors can lead to near-zero or zero gas flaring. Nigeria is a developing country with a unique culture of many tribes and one of the largest growing urban populations in the world. Infrastructural, political and economical challenges to meeting the goal are introduced. Reinjection of gas back into wells is not available as an option to gas flaring because a large region for gas production is wetlands (Buzcu-Guven et al. 2012). Wetlands ...

Is large-scale geothermal energy sustainable?

Geothermal energy is a renewable energy resource as natural processes such as radioactive decay and chemical reactions occurring within the earth constantly replenish it. However, it can be sustainable only if the rate of usage matches with the rate of replenishment. Presently, geothermal energy is used for large-scale power generation and small-scale applications include home heating pumps. Geothermal power plants that use steam and hot water available directly from the ground well to run turbines are called dry steam and flash steam power plants respectively. Alternatively, if the hot water from ground is used to heat a heat exchange fluid that ...

Abstract

Generation of electricity using turbine technology is very popular around the globe since most of the processes such as hydro energy are clean and renewable. Additionally, some do not pose a huge threat in human life and the environment. The traditional method of using turbine technology is very popular and wanted in many countries due to the economical cost of building and maintaining the generation plant. Additionally, the turbine technology is more efficient. This is because it can employ a number of fossil fuels, water, geothermal energy or wind to generate electricity. Hence, the country has a greater variety to choose from ...

Power capacity is the maximum amount of power that an electric line can transmit, and it varies with distance and voltage. The longer the distance, the lower the power capacity of the line due a drop in voltage. For example, a line with a 100-mile length has a maximum capacity of 3.8 GW. In contrast, a line with a 400-mile length has a maximum capacity of 2.0 GW (Amin & Stringer, 2008, p. 400). The higher the voltage, the higher the capacity of the lines since high voltages produce more heat that is likely to cause sagging of the lines. The amount of electricity flowing through a transmission ...
