Essays on Wind

Electricity has been the most important part of mankind. Since the discovery of electromagnetic induction by Michael Faraday in 1831, it came a long way in helping every activity of man. And with this, demand for electricity has gone up in recent years. A need for larger plants to produce electricity is necessary to sustain this demand. However to obtain electricity, we must harvest this from energy sources. Currently, fossil fuels have been the primary source of energy, however these are considered non-renewable and fossil fuels are being consumed rapidly in recent years. With this scare resources depleting, different sources ...

A Venturi meter is a flow measurement instrument with a constricted throat that increases velocity and decreases pressure (Voigt et al. 1991). Flow meters are usually used to measure the volumetric flow rate of liquids. A Venturi meter measures the flow rate of both compressible and incompressible fluids in the pipeline (Davis, 1952). The Venturi meter has a converging throat, a cylindrical throat and a diverging recovering cone. It possesses no projections into the fluid; it has no sharp corners and no sudden changes in its contour. The converging section decreases the area of the fluid stream thereby causing ...

Two eminent scholars Jay Gulledge and Richard A. Muller have expressed concern in their research about Global warming and its consequences in USA. The seasonal weather changes are surprising as extreme climatic conditions have minimized the accuracy of their prediction. According to Jay Gulledge the changing climatic models are highly affected by Global warming. He compares the effect that global warming has on extreme weather conditions to a human organ; just like smoking can increase the chances of having a heart attack. The deadly emissions from greenhouses and industries have been continuously increasing. The economy also suffers when struck by extreme ...

The electricity sector has played an important role in both the economic and political life of Canada. The organization of the sector is in line with the Canadian provincial as well as territorial lines (Bernstein 13). Canada is known to be the second largest in terms of hydroelectricity production all over the world. It is also ranked at number six in the generation of electricity through the use of nuclear power (Bugailiskis, & Andrés 17). When it comes to consumption, studies reveal that the offices, factories and homes in Canada are among the large consumers of hydro, which is a ...

There are three types of wastewater storage and treatment plants. First there are tribal owned plants where tribal governments are the ones who are in charge of setting up these facilities as well as operating, financing and maintaining them. Some tribes choose to combine their efforts and in this case both tribes take responsibility for any operation and any storm water that may run off into rivers, lakes etc. The second type of treatment plant is one that is called a POTW or publicly owned treatment work. It is owned or operated by a city, state, or town a.k.a. municipal and ...

Introduction

Vernacular coding for buildings offers a viable architecture that can fit varied conditions based on its nature, reflected as being open ended in nature. For this reason, vernacular coding is applicable in both natural and manmade conditions (Lane, 45). For adequate classification of buildings using the vernacular method, it is necessary to have an adequate understanding of the geographical area. For this purpose, the climate of Riyadh will be put into context to facilitate designing of buildings with the technique. The mentioned City is the capital of Saudi Arabia.

In physics, energy is loosely defined as the ability to do work. This definition often takes into assumption that energy can’t be directly observed but only its effects can be observed. Therefore, energy can only be defined by what it does not what it is. From this definition, it is clear that energy is used to do some work. From the definition of work, it is also clear that energy is the ability to exert a certain force on a body or particle of mass. Sources of energy can be broadly divided into two categories. The major categories ...

Visit the Virtual Caves website: http://www.goodearthgraphics.com/virtcave/index.html. Briefly describe and provide an example of Solutional caves, Sea caves, Erosional caves, and Lava tube caves. Solutional Caves: Solutional caves are formed by chemical reaction between the groundwater and the rock bedrock consisting of limestone. Ground water contains dissolved carbon dioxide which is a weak solution of carbonic acid and is capable of dissolving the rock slowly. This makes the passage of water wider and takes the shape of the cave. The most common example of solutional caves is flowstone. Flowstone is mostly composed of calcite and becomes rounder as it tends ...

1) What's the difference between skill and accuracy in weather forecasts? There is World Weather (GSP), which incorporates the National Weather Service. It has three global centers: Moscow, Washington and Melbourne. On the territory of the meteorological stations, systematically the observations of the weather are held. The meteorologist has to be accurate in his forecasting and use scientific methods in his investigations. Accuracy is, on my opinion, the fidelity of the researches and final data. Skill in the weather’s forecasting is meteorologist’s proficiency and competence in predicting the weather, as it is a very difficult job, ...

Hurricane Katrina is one of the worst disasters ever to hit the Americas. Though the country is endowed with much resources and great technological devices, yet it appeared as if the disaster got the nation by surprise. The response units seemed uncoordinated (Roth and Levine Para 2) while the rescue units took too long to respond to the disaster. Using the critical thinking approach, I could have taken a different approach to the disaster. This would be informed by the application of the analysis, assessment, and reconstruction of the problem (Critical Thinking Organization Para 2). Below is a description of the ...

1. Do you believe the labels that they were not acting in their own self-interest?

I do not believe that the labels were not acting in their own self-interest. By setting a price floor for their CDs (minimum advertised pricing) they were effectively able to control the revenue they would get. This ‘minimum price’ was set high and this led to higher profit margins at the expense of the consumers.2. Is this a price-fixing scheme or a pure case of altruism?

This was a case of price-fixing. By getting retailers to sell their CDs at an agreed price, the music labels were ...

The United States of America is said to be the largest dependent on fossil fuels by a research conducted by southeast Missouri state university’s Robert Polack. He found out that the US uses fossil fuels in almost each and every sector from food, consumer goods, transportation, energy procurement itself to heating. Basically, our economy runs on fossil fuels, but question is what if the world runs out of fossil fuels in the near future what are we going to do? The answer to this perplexing question is to venture into renewable sources of energy, which will relieve us the ...

Response to Carine’s Forum Post

The main reason for the formation of FEMA was provide assistance to all citizens of the United States in case of a disaster as clearly defined by the Stafford act section 302. However, FEMA is also supposed to build on the government’s preparedness to manage disasters. The state and local grant assistance program have not always favored FEMA.

When catastrophic events occur, FEMA finds itself at loggerheads majorly due to its unpreparedness and financial constraints. However, years back, the organization was highly accused of misusing disaster management funds. For instance, when Florida was ...

Introduction

Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures. Windstorms produce large amounts of damage every year (Holmes, 2007). Weather conditions such as thunderstorms generate local winds, whereas hurricanes and typhoons may generate very strong winds. Designing of buildings and structure takes into account the dead load of the structure plus the imposed load. However, in including a factor of safety for the structures the engineers have to factor in the wind load.

Module 8 Geology: Coastal Processes and Terrain

Sediments are transported along coastlines by several processes. Rivers deposit sediments as they enter wetlands and oceans. Tidal fluxes are constantly depositing and eroding sand while waves erode sand and deposit it somewhere else. Wetland and coastal dune vegetation retains sediments. Storm surges can dramatically erode coastal sediments. Coastal sand transport by all these methods are complex. But, the issue has become more complex with human impacts on the natural processes. Flood control measures and the damming of rivers decreases the downstream deposition of sediment. Sediment starvation of these areas typically results in our replacement of sand on ...

I chose to visit a park not far away from the city but in a forested area next to an artificial river. I specifically chose a small water fall and sat just next close to it and fully concentrated on my surroundings. After about ten minutes of silence and full concentration, my senses of smell and hearing were very much stimulated. I could for instance perceive the smell of river water not at all like the tap water, but a strange freshness that I had not expected. I initially thought water was the same everywhere and that it was without any scent.

Abstract

The problem of climate change and its effects to living organisms such as humans has already been proven by many studies and now many are questioning if Natural Hazards such as Hurricanes can be affected by this change. Hurricanes are known in many names in regions, given their formation type and their composition. It also is a common calamity in the Northern Atlantic and in the Pacific, the latter naming hurricanes as tropical cyclones. The debate upon the effects of climate change in hurricanes is still contested by scientists. On the one hand, some scientists have seen the evidences that ...

Soil Erosion

Soil erosion is the degradation of the soil, which is a natural occurring process occurring on the land cover. This process is caused by several agents including: water, wind, human beings activities animals. The degree of soil erosion is determined by the intensity of the force of the causative agent and the nature of the soil cover. The end result is loss of the top rich soil in nutrients, low quality of crops, damaged networks of water drainage and reduced quality of the surface water. This paper will discuss only the major agents of soil erosion which are water, wind ...

INTRODUCTION Various impact dynamic systems have been modelled postulating the expected drilling speed and displacement at given speeds. One of the most basic model [Fig 1(a)] that has been used involves a mass loaded with a force composed of static and harmonic components. Though the model is simple, the model also produces highly complex dynamics where the progression occurs at periodic system response. However, the stick slip phenomenon observed in this motion of the rock and the drill bit is not analyzed and therefore a more realistic model is required. The other model involves modeling the motion between the rock ...

Network security is critical in the design of a network infrastructure. This is because such a design ensures that network equipment and devices including access mechanisms prevent unauthorized access. However, such can be implemented by protecting network links, hardening network devices such as routers and switches either through configurations or implementing new levels of security to perform the functions. The technology to be used in enforcing enterprise wide security matters a lot, some such as the Virtual Private Network guarantees security through encryption where data is encrypted and routed over a tunnel across the public network, while at the same time implementing security ...

I often dream of a beautiful, lush forest with trees that tower with outstretched branches, propped on top of rugged icy peaks, swaying to and fro in the cooing winds, losing a branch or a leaf here and there. This forest that I dream of is nothing more than an imaginary place, and for some reason I have never wandered father, I just stand in one place admiring those towering trees and listening to the whispering of the wind. So, since I have to write about a place I have visited before, I would like to imagine what it would be like if ...

A collision refers to a physical situation where kinetic energy of momentum of an object is transferred from an object to the other one. In physics, collisions are classified as either elastic or inelastic. Conservation laws; energy conservation and momentum conservation are important tools in the analysis of collisions. Various literatures and experimental studies have confirmed that it is difficult to assess the interaction of bodies during collision. Therefore, main objective of this work is to demonstrate to relate the various parameters such as velocities and masses of the system using the principle of conservation of energy and momentum.

The momentum of an object of mass, m and velocity, v is represented mathematically as shown below:

Introduction and Theory

The main aim of this experiment is to investigate energy and momentum conservation in a closed system. Momentum and energy conservation principles are significant physical variables that engineers use when describing various physical phenomenon. Momentum of a body is a vector quantity, which is given by the product of its velocity and mass. In collision theory, the momentum of the body is always conserved when two bodies collide. The principle of momentum conservation applies to both elastic and inelastic conservation irrespective of the dynamic interaction between the two objects. This report demonstrates the application of momentum equation in determination of motion parameters ( ...
