Solar Energy Topics Solar technologies use the sun’s energy and light to provide heat‚ light‚ hot water‚ electricity‚ and even cooling‚ for homes‚ businesses‚ and industry. More basic information about solar is also available. Solar Technologies Photovoltaics (PV) Photovoltaic solar cells‚ which directly convert sunlight into electricity‚ are made of semiconducting materials. The simplest cells power watches and calculators and the like‚ while more complex systems can light houses and

BERNOULLI AND ENERGY E Q U AT I O N S his chapter deals with two equations commonly used in fluid mechanics: the Bernoulli equation and the energy equation. The Bernoulli equation is concerned with the conservation of kinetic‚ potential‚ and flow energies of a fluid stream‚ and their conversion to each other in regions of flow where net viscous forces are negligible‚ and where other restrictive conditions apply. The energy equation is a statement of the conservation of energy principle and is

This paper states why energy insecurity is a problem in Indonesia‚ how it was identified‚ its causes and the current responses to solve this problem. The engineering solutions would focus on sustainability and affordability‚ without compromising future generation energy needs in Indonesia. International Energy Agency defines energy security as the “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at affordable prices”. Currently Indonesia faces the lack of long term energy security. This is evident

Renewable energy is a microeconomics situation‚ it’s thriving for different type of business‚ and it’s becoming a substantial topic in the United States. Renewable energy is any energy that its source is naturally replenished‚ which is solar‚ wind‚ geothermal or hydroelectric action. There’s another type of source called fossil fuel which is coal‚ oil‚ or gas there are nonrenewable source. Fossil fuels provide energy at a lower cost than renewable energy‚ but fossil fuel is the largest source of

Alternative Energy Sources Fossil fuels will not last forever. If the human race wishes to continue to live the way we do‚ then we have to look at alternative energy sources such as: geothermal‚ nuclear‚ solar‚ wind‚ and hydroelectric energy. Alternative energy sources are not without faults‚ but along with faults‚ there are benefits and solutions to the issues. Geothermal energy is a well-proven energy resource that can be used to provide both heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is very predictable

Energy audit An energy audit is an inspection‚ survey and analysis of energy flows in a building‚ process or system with the objective of understanding the energy dynamics of the system under study. Typically an energy audit is conducted to seek opportunities to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort‚ health and safety

Depletion of Natural Resources - Oil DEPLETION OF ENERGY RESOURCES Modern industrial society is based on a triad of hydrocarbons‚ metals‚ and electricity. The three are intricately connected; each is accessible only if the other two are present. Electricity‚ for example‚ can be generated on a global scale only with hydrocarbons. The same dependence on hydrocarbons is true of metals; in fact the better types of ore are now becoming depleted‚ while those that remain can be processed only with modern
