Essays on Energy

Biogas is a type of renewable energy that belongs to the category of biofuel that is naturally produced from the decomposition of organic waste in the absence of oxygen, which is referred to as anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is a natural form of waste-to-energy that...

In this study, the performance of an ohmic concentration system was analyzed based on the second law of thermodynamics. The influence of salt content (0-2% w/w), voltage gradient (5-11 V/cm) and electrode type (316L St, Al, and Br) were evaluated on the exergy aspects. Results...

1. ABSTRACT In this study, phones, wearable/portable devices, detectors that detect temperature and human motion are integrated as smart sensors to reduce the amount of energy used for air conditioning and ventilation. Advanced Smart sensors get input feedback from mobile phones, smart gadgets and portable...

Wave energy Ocean waves are usually induced by winds blowing over the surface. The flow of wind power is metastasized to the waves and more powerful circulation of the wind provides more energy in to the waves. So, wave power is defined such as a...

A voltage regulator is used to regulate voltage level. When a steady, reliable voltage is needed, then voltage regulator is the preferred device. It generates a fixed output voltage that remains constant for any changes in an input voltage or load conditions. It acts as...

“ The year 2017 will be remembered as a significant one for defining India’s mobility architecture. India has seized its moment to announce big plans for finding next-generation ransport solutions. To the dismay of many automobile manufacturers sitting on a huge inventory of BS III...

Today the total energy consumption is greater than the earth potential to sustain. The global trend towards sustainable development, the increase of population and the definite source of the earth and their effect on rising energy prices are putting increasing stress on developing buildings with...

Kinetic Theory is a description of the properties of atomic particles in different states such as solids, liquids, and gas. In the various states, the atoms have a different energy level and the movements of the particles also including the distance. The state of the...

Lactic acid is produced when glucose is broken down and oxidized. During intense exercise when oxygen levels are lower, more lactic acid is made, which produce hydrogen ions and a burning sensation in muscles while they’re active. However, on-going soreness in the days following an...

The LEED certifications depend on a 100-point scoring system. In order to attain the lowest level of certification a hotel must meet a minimum of 40 points. Whether you are building a brand new hotel from the ground up or are currently operating a full...

Hydroelectric power is a kind of renewable energy and have a very old history. The world first hydroelectric power plant has been exist and began operated at September 30, 1882 on the fox river in Appleton, Wisconsin. The electricity that generate in the world got...

Electrical resistivity is a fundamental property that quantifies how strongly a given material opposes. Resistivity is measured by ohmsO. Electrons often encounter semi or non-conductive materials which causes resistance. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current. Electrical conductivity...

Currently, in everyday life, fossil fuels are the world’s primary energy source. It is formed over millions of years from organic materials (remains of dead animals and plants) and is mostly used to power vehicles and generate electricity. Types of fossil fuels includes coal, oil,...

People whose origins include the keffiyeh in their history, tradition and culture, and people who are attached to their history and refuse new ideas and “updates” on society’s beliefs might find it hard to accept that the Keffiyeh’s use, like many other things in this...

Most modern-day electricity is elsewise known as secondary energy, meaning that it is a combination of fossil fuels, nuclear fuel, and renewable energy. Renewable energy sources include, wind, hydro, solar, and geothermal (2 Sharif). Fossil fuels, cause a substantial amount of pollution, which in turn...

Our current rate of fossil fuel usage will lead to an energy crisis this century. In order to survive the energy crisis many companies in the energy industry are inventing new ways to extract energy from renewable sources. Example of sources: biomass: refers to organic...

What Is an Internal Combustion Engine? An engine in which the chemical energy of the fuel is released inside the engine and is converted into mechanical work can be defined as an internal combustion engine (Ferguson and Kirkpatrick 2015). How It Works An increase in...

Renewable energy is defined as the ‘energy that is derived from natural processes (e.g sunlight and wind) that are replenished at a higher rate than they are consumed’. In this article we are going to have a brief look at a type of renewable energy...

Reishi mushrooms scientifically known as Ganoderma lucidum are of great benefit when it comes to general body health. Some of the benefits that comes with the same include but not limited to the fact that they are effective in cancer treatment and prevention, liver regeneration,...

Friction is the force that results in the prevented motion of an object. Friction is everywhere, when one object comes into contact with another there is friction. The force acts in the opposite direction to the was the object is being pushed , pulled or...

Green energy is a natural sources of energy such as sunlight, wind, water, biogas and more. These sources of energy resources are renewable, meaning they are naturally replenished. They are a safe way to produce energy that will not harm the world and the atmosphere....

The imminent need for energy sources in human history takes us to analyse the history and potential of a well know market, the industry of batteries. When we think of batteries we not only reach the thought of an energy source, but we also must...

I’ve been really interested in renewable and sustainable energy sources for a while. While there are many sustainable, renewable energy sources that can be used on a large scale and sold to consumers, I will discuss smaller scale systems that can be implemented within an...

Electrical energy is a traded commodity that is critical component of the daily life of consumers. There is an increasing demand for continuous access to power as consumers are increasingly critical of disturbance free power supply. Electrical disturbances occur at everything from planned to unplanned...

Imagine you are buying a car, and you are not sure what to go for. Your first thought might be a Jeep, or Mustang; however the one car that never comes to mind is an electric car. Which is understandable, it is hard enough to...

There have been multiple attempts by Arab countries to help reduce the carbon footprint of the region that is well-known for being a hub for polluting resources like oil, coal and gas. While it may be harder for the region to implement these goals to...

Thе еmеrgеnсе of Bitсоin in 2009 intrоduсеd thе wоrld to thе blockchain concept and itѕ аbilitу to revolutionise the рауmеnt system. Ovеr time, mаnу hаvе rеаliѕеd that thе blockchain can bе аррliеd to mаnу different induѕtriеѕ, inсluding thе energy sector. Thiѕ iѕ thе firѕt in...

Background information of Study Biomass is the culmination of organic materials such as plant matter and manure that have not become fossilized and are used as a fuel or energy source. (Dictionary of the English Language, 2016). Plant biomass is a renewable source of energy...

GENERAL VIEW The definition of stagnancy is when something is at a point and never move. But the reverse is the case when we talk about blockchain. This technology exploded in 2017 after the high raise in it’s worth. However, it is a necessity for...

INTRODUCTION The lengths that most countries will take to acquire efficient, reliable and renewable energy are uncanny. The U.K is a very special case, due to its lack of sunlight, aggressive wind currents and the large consumption of energy- because of the large population- the...
