Fracking refers to the process of injecting liquids under high pressure into subterranean rocks to force open cracks from which to extract oil or gas. So it’s basically a substance injected into a rock that cracks the rock open and lets out oil and gasses. I think this is a good thing to do because it’s lowering the price as a whole. Plus we don’t have to worry about as much pollution because we won’t have to use coal. But, others don’t think the same because the rocks are natural and they don’t…

A jet engine is a sort of engine that releases a quick moving jet of gas to produce thrust as per Newton's third law of motion. This expansive meaning of jet engines incorporates turbojets, turbofans, rockets, ramjets, pulse jets and pump-jets, yet in like but in common term usage, the term commonly refers to a gas turbine Brayton cycle engine, an type of engine with a revolving compressor fueled by a turbine, with the remaining energy providing thrust. In today’s modern age of aviation, jet…

Climate change continues to be a serious problem facing the international community, and efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions require global cooperation. As it stands, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change spearheads the international community 's efforts to tackle climate change by establishing an international climate change regime, but the UNFCCC is not without its critics. Meanwhile, the US-China Climate Change Agreement suggests the potential for bilateral or mini-lateral forums…

Gas is a nonrenewable energy source and we do not have an abundant supply, because it takes millions of years to form. Replacing the use of these fossil fuels with battery power will save gasoline so we have more in the future in case batteries fail . If batteries ever do come to naught, gasoline is still available for use, but not as a permanent power source, instead it will be used as a substitute. We would save an abundant amount of fossil fuels if we switch to non gas cars. Electric…

The Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing Petros Tedla Fracking, short for Hydraulic Fracturing is a process that uses water and other fluids from underground by cracking the shell and collecting the gas that escapes. Wasting the water is not the only problem during Fracking as the water that was used in the Fracking process is now contaminated and the only way to dispose of it is to store It in lagoons that eventually pollute rivers and the water supply. There have been several incidents…

land clearing”, which lead to increase greenhouse gas emission. According to the Global Climate Change web page, “greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which makes the Earth warmer.” The gases that constitute the greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide,…

Thermal energy strorage Thermal Energy Storage is the temporary storage of high or low temperature energy for later use, bridging the gap between requirement and energy use. The storage cycle might be daily, weekly or seasonal depending on the system design requirements, and whilst the output will always be thermal, the input may be thermal or electrical. Principle 1) Sensible Heat Storage Heating a liquid or solid, without changing the phase: This method is called sensible heat storage.…

of the highest environmental, social and economic threats facing the world. The human population growth is one of the major issues to climate change. Humans use fossil fuels to power their industrialized lives. The more human beings means more oil, gas, and coal which is drilled from below Earth’s surface. Climate change was proposed by human beings over a century ago. In the 1850’s John Tyndall a prominent physicist, was building research. Lighting from the Sun warms the Earth 's surface,…

obtain energy as affluence may be related closely to more efficient use of a wider variety of energy sources as it is to total energy consumption now. Our country South Africa, like all other countries is more reliant on fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas). Approximately 89% of South African energy supply is from fossil…

all started to run from us. We almost got up on the hill with our other cows the gator ran out of gas , we were in middle of the field and it was hot out there was no one to call for help , so we…
