Chapter 3 Experimental Setup 3.1 Test rig components and description: Fig. 3 illustrates schematic view of the test rig of an IDX-SAHP system. It was designed for a typical UK home administering up to 350 L/day of DHW. The main components are numbered in (Fig.3). The evacuated tube collector installed outdoor on a south facing roof has a surface area of 3.021 m2 with a 52-degree inclination (tilt angle). A 300L, stainless steel, insulated water storage tank has two coils immersed inside, one for…

Great effort is invested into the management of their safety risks. In the year 2015, BHP Billiton took part in an…

Combustion of Alkanes What is combustion? Combustion is a chemical process where a fuel reacts with oxygen and releases heat. The fuel can either be a solid, liquid or gas and the oxidizer, the source of oxygen can also be a solid liquid or gas. A new chemical substance is created from the fuel and source of oxygen. These new chemical substances are referred to as exhaust. For combustion to occur, a fuel, oxygen and heat are required. In an alkane, the more carbon atoms that are present, the…

shift in the economic, social, and technological world as we know it. To ignore the significance that the natural resources of Great Britain played in ushering along this huge shift would be a mistake for all, as the once-undomesticated quantities of coal, agricultural crops, and iron became the driving force behind the world’s greatest economy at the time. As soon as these resources started being…

Wind energy has been perceived as the next big energy source. Wind companies try to make consumers believe that this is the answer for the future, but research into wind energy demonstrates that coal or other forms of conventional power plants are needed. Coal plants have been shutting down due to the Clean Air Act, our country can not be sustained by wind energy. Some people speculate that nuclear should be the answer. Although wind energy is a well known renewable energy source, it has raised…

against the use of coal in hopes to stir enough public disapproval to catalyze a change. Luckily there efforts haven’t gone unnoticed and the attention that has been rallied around the topic has generated gradual but hopefully exponential progress in the desirable direction. There is currently 54 coal to gas projects in the works that would provide cleaner burning natural gas for the northwestern region of China, and eliminate some of the heavy pollutants found from burning coal. Unfortunately…

The world today is progressing technologically at an increasingly fast rate. Thus, people are needing to use a larger amount of energy. With most of the world’s energy coming from fossil fuels that are harmful to the environment. With global warming on the rise and fossil fuels diminishing; it has become imperative that this energy crisis needs to have a solution. The energy crisis has been causing much concern on how the future will be powered. With multiple different forms of energy in the…

When discussing the topic of Global Warming many questions are thrown up in the air. There are some scientific uncertainties and political controversies that follow this topic. For starters, there are those that generalize the description of Global Warming as the Earth crumbling. On the other hand, there are others who are not frighten by the idea of Global Warming and do not believe there is anything to worry about. In addition, alternatives and responses to this issue are up for debate. There…

Then you use another oil-powered machine to drive it to a place where it’s processed, a place that uses electricity which comes from coal or natural gas. After the crop is processed, it’s then wrapped up it up in plastic, which is oil, and put into an oil-powered vehicle to transport it however many miles to a food distribution warehouse that uses electricity from coal or natural gas, and an oil-powered vehicle then drives it however many more miles to the supermarket and you drive your…

Coal, oil, and natural gas are proven technologies, are much cheaper than any other energy source, and provide massive amounts of electricity. Due to the aforementioned consequences of relying on fossil fuels, however, it is time to find a new energy source…
