Energy conversion

accelerated by the catalysis of base or acid. The goal of the experiment is to produce propylene glycol using water and propylene glycol as a reactant to synthesis propylene glycol. The purpose of doing this experiment is to converge and install a conversion reactor, and also to simulate a process having separation and reaction using i-con software. UNIQUAC fluid package is used in this properties package list. The feed stream used in here is 3850kg /h which is propylene oxide and a stream of…

Geothermal energy is one of the oldest sources of energy. (Geo) a Latin root meaning earth and (thermo) a Greek root meaning heat, is where the word originates from. A simple way to phrase it would be that you are using renewable, heat energy from the earth. So what exactly does it do? According to an article by Alternative Energy Some forms of geothermal energy heats up groundwater. This heat eventually generates to hot spots surfacing near the surface of the crust. Examples of these hot…

Energy Conservation Patricia Horn Lab Partner: Nick Desnoyer TA: Scott Sawyer PHYS181 001-7 I submitted at on Tuesday March 3, 2015 Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine the relationship between kinetic and potential energy as a function of height. The lab was set up in two sections. The first section of the lab involved a plastic car on a roller coaster track with a loop in did not stay constant but it decreased once it hit the middle of…

These wings give males a selective advantage; they are able to attract female mates. Similar to migrating birds, the monarch butterflies use the clear benefit of updrafts of warm air, called “thermals” and glide as they migrate, to preserve the energy required for flapping their wings throughout the voyage. Studies show that monarch butterflies that migrate for long distances have evolved significantly bigger and longer wings than their cousins. These long wings have a narrow tip, thereby…

temperature to give primary gas and carbonaceous residue and in the second there is modification in primary gas due to water gas shift reaction and steam reforming reaction. The total Gibbs free energy of a system is a function of Gibbs free energy of each of the components. For minimizing the Gibbs free energy, the mass of each individual element present in the gaseous mixture is considered. The amount of an element in the resulting gas mixture produced must be equal to its amount obtained from…

including all forms of matter and energy and interaction going on between them. Space and time are two basic correlates of universe. In these correlates there is matter and energy scattered around. There is interaction going on between matters, energies and between matter and energy on account of endless processes. These processes are governed by universal laws as explained in the previous chapter. Universe consists of three elements: (a) space and time, (b) matter and energy and (c) the…

requires energy. Human body constantly undergoes pathways and chemical reactions to maintain life. All reactions belong to metabolism, featuring catabolic reactions: break down of molecules into simple end products, or anabolic reactions: conversions of small precursor molecules into more complex ones. These pathways also feature Gibb’s free energy(∆G), which refers to the energy available for the reaction. If ∆G is positive, that means the reaction is endergonic and has produced energy. If…

calorimeter we used by determining the heat given off from pringles and calculate how much energy was released by the burning food substance. In addition, we can also use the concept of conservation of energy that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Introduction In order to complete the snack energy lab, calorie and calorimetry will be use as a major technique. By burning pieces of food, the chemical energy stored in molecular bonds is released as heat and light. The heat can be measured in…

hr of the precursor at a fixed temperature 110oC temperature with further increasing the drying time the activity of the catalyst was decreased. This results shows that drying the precipitate under these conditions for 12 hr gives the highest CO conversion. During the drying period of the solution retained by the porous support may migrate by capillary flow and diffusion and the solute redistributed by desorption and re-adsorption. When the solvent evaporates, precipitation of solute happens as…

high temperature heat addition and low temperature heat rejection at Ericsson cycle. The performance was evaluated in terms of thermal efficiency, exergy losses and specific power output. Energy and exergy analysis was carried out on Braysson cycle and Brayton cycle. The analytical formula was derived for energy efficiency, specific power output, exergy losses of each component, and the exergy efficiency. The influence of various parameters on the performance of the Braysson cycle and Brayton…
