[Energy resources]: The 2 broad types Pros and Cons of each type Ways in which they are harnessed There two main types of energy these are: 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy Potential energy Potential energy is energy stored due to position. The following are some example in which potential energy can be found. 1. Wound-up spring When a spring of a dock work toy car unwinds‚ the stored energy in the spring drives the wheels and the car moves. The wound-up spring is said to posse potential

Thermal Imaging This article is about the infrared imaging technique. For the printing technique called thermography. Thermogram of a traditional building in the background and a "passive house" in the foreground Infrared thermography (IRT)‚ thermal imaging‚ and thermal video are examples of infrared imaging science. Thermal imaging cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 9‚000–14‚000 nanometers or 9–14 µm) and produce images of that radiation

University of Alberta ANSYS Tutorials - www.mece.ualberta.ca/tutorials/ansys/CL/CAT/Coupled/Print.html Coupled Structural/Thermal Analysis Introduction This tutorial was completed using ANSYS 7.0 The purpose of this tutorial is to outline a simple coupled thermal/structural analysis. A steel link‚ with no internal stresses‚ is pinned between two solid structures at a reference temperature of 0 C (273 K). One of the solid structures is heated to a temperature of 75 C (348 K). As heat is transferred

Li‚ 1 2-16-13 Solar Energy: The Energy of the Future Our Earth’s resorvoir of resources seem to be limitless‚ but with the exponential growth of the human population; the need for efficient alternative energy sources is becoming urgent. Therefore‚ research companies and individuals are focusing on creating new energy systems. Fossil fuels are are depleting and becoming more difficult to obtain. The earth will face an energy crisis in the near future if humans are not careful with their consumption

Gravitation Gravitational field strength at a point is defined as the gravitational force per unit mass at that point. Newton’s law of gravitation: The (mutual) gravitational force F between two point masses M and m separated by a distance r is given by F = | GMm | (where G: Universal gravitational constant) | | r2 | | or‚ the gravitational force of between two point masses is proportional to the product of their masses & inversely proportional to the square of their separation. Gravitational

THERMAL DAIRY By Carlos Val Background 2 In order to achieve a better understanding of the concept of Adaptive Thermal comfort I have recorded my thermal sensation by an hour intervals during a week. At this time‚ the relative humidity and temperature of my surrounding environment was been recorded by a sensor carried by me at all the time‚ every 900seconds. Background 3 A further thermal study of my living space was developed at the same time but carried out for a longer period

Application of Energy ------------------------------------------------- Forms of energy Main article: Forms of energy Energy exists in many forms: Heat‚ a form of energy‚ is partly potential energy and partly kinetic energy. In the context of physical sciences‚ several forms of energy have been defined. These include: * Thermal energy‚ thermal energy in transit is called heat * Chemical energy * Electric energy * Radiant energy‚ the energy of electromagnetic radiation *
