THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS Thermal insulation materials are specifically designed to reduce the heat flow by limiting heat conduction‚ convection‚ radiation or all three while performing one or more of the following functions: The main function of insulation is to reduce the heat transfer‚ the insulation material must have the appropriate characteristic to slow down the transport of heat occurred by conduction‚ convection and radiation. Conduction loss in insulation is negligible. There are

ENERGY MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES INTRODUCTION In the modern days energy has the significant role in our life. With development where we got comfortable life and much modern facilities where we got some problem with excessive use of energy resources as declining of energy sources‚ climate change. So it is an big challenge for present and future generations as the cost of energy increase and its supply decrease‚ older buildings needs to modified and new buildings designed to use less energy. The optimization

The solar energy use in Africa These days‚ solar energy has been the most talkative alternative energy source in the world. Unlike the gas‚ oil‚ and coal‚ solar enrgy is one of the clean and renewable resource‚ which can not only generate power but also protect the environment. Africa‚ has second largest population‚ estimated 1.6 billion‚ however‚ around one third of it’s people still live in the condition with no eletricity. (Renewable energy in Africa

physics‚ energy is an indirectly observed quantity which comes in many forms‚ such as kinetic energy‚ potential energy‚ radiant energy‚ and many others; which are listed in this summary article. This is a major topic in science and technology and this article gives an overview of its major aspects‚ and provides links to the many specific articles about energy in its different forms and contexts. The question "what is energy?" is difficult to answer in a simple‚ intuitive way‚ although energy can be

solar thermal electric‚ and waste incineration plants‚ as well as many natural gas power plants are thermal. Natural gas is frequently combusted in gas turbines as well as boilers. The waste heat from a gas turbine can be used to raise steam‚ in a combined cycle plant that improves overall efficiency. Power plants burning coal‚ oil‚ or natural gas are often referred to collectively as fossil-fuel power plants. Some biomass-fueled thermal power plants have appeared also. Non-nuclear thermal power

Without the big power plants polluting the air and creating waste at a large scale: they emit CO2‚ one of the ‘greenhouse gases’ causing global warming‚ and other contaminated gases that decrease the air quality and change the climate. So that we can provide the needs for the next generations. But does actually everybody know the importance of renewable energy and what renewable

WIND ENERGY Long time ago‚ ancient mariners used sails to capture the wind and explore the world. Farmers once used windmills to grind their grains and pump water. Today‚ more and more people are using wind turbines to wring electricity from the breeze. Over the past decade‚ wind turbine use has increased at more than 25 percent a year. Still‚ it only provides a small fraction of the world ’s energy. Therefore‚ wind power or wind energy is the energy extracted from wind using wind turbines to produce electrical

Describe and explain the factors that influence how much a work a river can do (25) The work that a river does is erosion‚ transportation and deposition. The amount of work a river can do is dependent on the energy it has and this energy is determined by many factors. The study of water flow in a river channel is known as hydraulics. Hydraulic geometry is the study of the relationships that exist within river channels that ultimately determine how much work the river will be able to carry

Conventional energy sources such as coal and oil are the main contributors to the global warming. Furthermore‚ these fossil fuels are not renewable‚ which means one day we will run out of them. The good news is alternative sources of energy can replace the current technologies we are using. These renewable energy sources are
