Patterns of Surface Ocean Currents

Surface currents are found in the upper four hundred meters of an ocean body and they form major patterns such as eddies, upwelling, and gyres (Garrishon, 2007). Surface currents result from wind energy that is concentrated in both north and south hemispheres forming trade winds which are easterlies and westerlies (Garrishon, 2007). Waves on the sea surface transfer some of the energy from the moving air to the water by friction. Pulling of wind on the surface of ocean causes an accumulation of water with the water

The Wind In The Willows Literature Review

In his novel, The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame tells the story of a group of forestry animals who embark on a number of adventures together. Throughout the novel, Grahame presents his characters as following their instincts which, as animals, one would assume are carefully attuned to their environment and survival. However, animals or not, the characters are heavily anthropomorphised which removes any immediate suggestion that the characters rely upon their animal instincts. Equally, the behaviour which could be described as instinctive often either displays a sense of wisdom or it induces

Dear Journal,

Since I last wrote, my entire life has changed.

I’d woken up early that morning – stirred by the winds that were whirling around me whilst I slept. The winds howled like unhappy spirits and I remember waking to an uneasy, anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach as if something bad was about to happen. I was not wrong dear Journal. I found my Mother collecting up wood for the morning’s fire and my Father preparing for his day ahead. Going to him, I

Essay On Physics Of Stopping And Car Safety

22nd May, 2011

In physics and in physics it is a belief that ones safety is not related to the speed in which one is travelling or moving in but it is rather how fast you stop. When a collision occurs ones safety will not be based on the speed in which he was moving in before the collision occurred, but rather it would be matter of how fast he stopped when the collision occurred. The urgency in which one stops a moving object during a collision process would dictate the magnitude of the collision. A person who reacts

Essay On Santa Ana Winds

Santa Ana Winds

Santa Ana Winds are recurrent winds that are mostly experienced in Southern California in autumn, winter and spring characterized by relatively low humidity and moderately strong offshore winds (Lynn and Svejkovsky, 1984). The winds reach their peak in the month of December with and underlying effect of causing the exceptionally hard to contain wildfires known to cause irrevocable losses whenever they occur. These winds, which exhibit some similarity to the winds normally observed in the lee of the famous Front Ranges of Colorado, warm adiabatically as they move downwards due to compressional heating.

Engineering Materials: Parts of a Wind Turbine

Introduction
Wind energy has been in use as far back as 3000 B.C., when sailors in Egypt utilized this energy to move their boats. Today, wind energy is hailed as an important source of energy and is tapped in various regions around the world. Its importance stems from two factors: (1) it is renewable and (2) it is a clean source of energy that does not generate environmentally harmful emissions. To harness wind energy, a wind turbine is used. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of the wind into

This poem is written in the first person and the present tense and this gives it an immediacy and vibrancy. The poem begins as night is falling; in the second stanza there is snow on the trees and the storm is coming; in the final stanza the narrator is surrounded by clouds and wastes. The narrator is held by ‘a tyrant spell’ (3), but there is a progression in her attitude: in the first two stanzas she says she ‘cannot’ (4,8) go, but in the final line she expresses defiance – ‘I will not go’ (12) – the act of

Essay On Wind Energy And Environmental Conservation

The Role of Wind Energy in Environmental Conservation

Concerns over environmental pollution have been on the increase worldwide since the first signs of global warming became apparent in the 1980s. In particular, concerns over the type of energy source used in the world today have been the most obvious, with different parties taking differing sides over these issues. Of interest is the use of wind energy as a solution to the greenhouse effect. Wind energy has been in use for thousands of years, with some evidences available that early Egyptians, Persians, Greeks and even Romans used wind

Pressure Forcearea Research Paper

Part 1: Fundamentals

When a fluid flows over the surface of a body, pressure is exerted on the body. This pressure multiplied by the surface area results into a force, since pressure is defined as
This resultant force is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction. The component of this total force that is perpendicular to the direction of flow of the fluid is called the lift. The other component of this force that is parallel to the direction of flow of the fluid is called the drag. If the lift force is positive, the object is able

Report On Water Turbine

1. Abstract

The proposal aims at to giving a solution to the problem of low power output by designing a power generation system that maximizes power output by mounting the turbine on a D.C generator with a suitable coupling. This generator is then connected to the water pipe. The turbine is designed to generate electricity by converting kinetic energy from water flows to electric energy. The use of this technology proves sustainable as it works under minimum maintenance. In this proposal is included the conceptual approach, results ad conclusions arrived at validating the significance of
