Title :
Mini Project of Semester One

Problem Statement :
We use the boiled water in our daily life but which of the home use heat generating appliances that we used to boil water is the most efficiency?

Introduction :
Different heat generating appliances, such as electric kettle, microwave, electric thermos flask, convection oven and slow cooker have difference efficiency of appliances. Home use heat generating appliances look pretty much the same on the outside, but they vary greatly in terms of energy-efficiency and operating costs. The more energy-efficient an appliance is, the less it costs to run and also can lower the utility bill and help protect the environment.

Objective :
To comparing the efficiency of four different type of home

Type of appliance Microwave Electric jug Convection oven Slow cooker
Mean of heating time (s) 260.33 302.00 284.00 2792.67
Table 2: A table to show the mean of heating time.
Calculations :
Electric Kettle
E=P x t =800 x 213 =170400 J
Q= m c T =500 x 4.19 x 69 =144555 J
Efficiency of appliance = 144555/170400 x 100% = 84.8 %
Electric thermos flask
E=P x t =700 x 270 =189000 J
Q= m c T =500 x 4.19 x 69 =144555 J
Efficiency of appliance = 144555/189000 x 100% = 76.5 %
Convection Oven
E=P x t =800 x 284 =227200 J
Q= m c T =500 x 4.19 x 69 =144555 J
Efficiency of appliance = 144555/227200 x 100% = 63.6 %
Slow Cooker
E=P x t =200 x 1865 =373000 J
Q= m c

To improve efficiency include: position, cleaning, care and maintenance, standby power, power management and daily operation. For the electrical kettle, use electrical kettle to boil water but not all of this heat is transferred to the water, some is lost through conduction to the surfaces of the kettle, then to the surrounding air. Also, as the water is heated and before it is boiling some heat is lost through the water evaporating (steam) and flowing out through the top of the kettle. The way could make it more efficient by improving the insulation around the surface of the kettle and ensuring the lid is closed (although there must a hole to relieve pressure).Also, always fill the kettle with the least amount of water possible, as the kettle will require greater energy input in boiling a larger volume of water and any boiled water not used looses it heat when

    There seems to be a divide among people if the Information Age represents a radical break from the Industrial age and the continuities between them. Both sides argue with different views and opinions pointing to the evidence. First, what makes the Information Age seem completely new are the innovation of technologies such as the Internet have allowed instant communication across distance as some call it the time-space compression where everyone can get the same-day information.

    According to Jane McCarthy graduate of University of Nevada she states, “Indigenous peoples are spoken for, not spoken with, in regard to their dreams for the education of their children” (p. 123). Jane McCarthy and Helene Johnson tell about their experiences as an outside teacher teaching on the Navajo Nation. The schools on native nations need to ask what the outstanding educational pedagogies are for the native students and how to implement those practices into the classroom instruction. The Accelerated School Project makes changes to the school curriculum, instruction, and organization which the Navajo Nation School didn’t do so well due to the disconnection with mainstream schools. The Native communities need to come together as a culture…

    Regardless of the various definitions of renewable energy, nuclear energy meets every reasonable criterion for sustainability, which is the primary concern of countries. The United States should use nuclear energy for three primary reasons: first, it produces more cost effective energy than any other non-renewable resource. Second there is no release of greenhouse gasses which contribute to global warming, and finally nuclear energy is the most reliable source of power in the world today. Nuclear power produces electricity that is less expensive than coal and natural gas while providing more energy for use. The Energy Informative Organization supports this claim when the author states, “Generating electricity in nuclear reactors is cheaper…

    Alphabet Energy Matt Scullin is the PhD student in UC Berkeley and he has high interests in thermoelectric technology. In his academic career, he found that the traditional way of power generating wastes about 60% energy. While with the thermoelectric technology people can generate electricity from wasted heat and it can improve efficiency in 10% to 25%. By using his own technology, Matt started a company called alphabet energy and producing superior thermoelectric device. He narrowed his targets to four industries: automotive, aerospace, power generation and manufacturing.…

    Thesis: Our energy comes predominantly from fossil fuels because of it’s supposed inexpensiveness. However, the cost of fossil fuels in terms of human lives is often ignored. Nuclear power, on the other hand, is a much safer alternative because it results in fewer deaths per unit of energy produced than coal and natural gas. By comparing their outputs in terms of energy produced per unit of fuel consumed, and comparing that with the amount of byproducts produced as well as the amount of deaths associated with both energy sources we can analyse their relative harmfulness.…
