Since the dawn of the space race‚ man continues to strive towards the heavens. A lot has changed in the past 60 years‚ which marked the beginning of spaceflight capabilities and operations. With each passing decade‚ we further our influence within the solar system. From rovers on nearby celestial bodies to probes reaching far past Pluto‚ we constantly seek to expand on where we can go and what we can do. This drive is propelled by mankind’s ingenuity‚ curiosity‚ and determination. However‚ more importantly

Wind Vs. Solar in the Race for India’s Energy Future This article compares the present and future potential for energy production from wind and solar sources in India and presents a brief analysis of future trends in these two energy technologies. Introduction India is undergoing an energy crisis. 53% of the country’s current power needs come from coal. This highly polluting source of energy is bound to run out someday. Compared to the West‚ India’s energy consumption is growing at break-neck

Dynamic Signal Analyzer for dSPACE K. A. Lilienkamp‚ and D. L. Trumper Precision Motion Control Lab‚ MIT‚ Rm 35-030‚ 77 Mass. Ave‚ Cambridge‚ MA 02139 We have developed MATLAB software and a Simulink subsystem block which work in tandem to extract the transfer function (amplitude and phase) of a system using ‘swept sine’ excitation. The resulting dynamic signal analyzer provides a convenient tool for obtaining empirical Bode plots of system and controller dynamics within the dSPACE environment.

ANALYSIS OF SOLAR BOOSTED HEAT PUMP WATER HEATERS ABSTRACT This paper presents an overview of the solar boosted heat pump water heater technology. The tests made on direct expansion solar assisted heat pumps have shown that good COP can be attained while using working fluids that do not cause any harm to the environ ment. Modifications to the condenser in the heat pump can be made in order to improve and distribute evenly the heat transferred to the water. NOMENCLATURE HPWH – Heat Pump
