Heating

Residential homes are accountable for over eighteen percent of the greenhouse gases in the environment. First, the materials used in residential homes are much less environmentally friendly than those used in tiny homes such as CO2 consumption and lumber used. Second, the amount of water used in residential homes is exponentially larger than the water used in the tiny home water catchment system. Tiny home, being much smaller use a lot less energy with a fraction of the light bulbs needed to…

The greenhouse effect is a natural process whereby gases and clouds absorb infrared radiation emitted from the Earth’s surface and radiate it in all directions, which results extra heating of the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface. As the radiation from the Sun is absorbed by the Earth’s surface, the energy is converted to thermal energy. Then, the Earth emits lower-energy infrared radiation back out to the atmosphere and space. The Earth’s atmosphere and clouds trap this infrared energy and…

Finally, from ventilation aspect, DSF has a great way of using natural ventilation within the cavity and provide air to the multi-storey buildings. The main feature is that in winter times solar radiation can preheat the air in the cavity and provide heating as well as ventilation for the…

THE WATER CYLE AND CLIMATE CHANGE Among the most serious Earth science and ecological approach issues challenging society are the potential changes in the Earth’s water cycle because of environmental change. The science community agrees that the climate of Earth is now changing due to natural variability; it includes solar variability and increasing concentration of greenhouse gases. Moreover, it is noticed that these changes may strongly affect atmospheric water vapor concentrations,…

I believe that the Foundation Phase Framework and Maslow’s theory link to a child living in poverties education and social development. Maslow’s Hierarchy of need showed us how children’s basic needs to achieve more are air, food, drink, shelter, warmth and sleep. These are known as Biological and Physiological needs. To continue onto the next step the children must have these needs. In my placement I have witnessed children coming into the class very tired, by this child's lack of sleep, I…

events that took place in Salem seemed to be a mass hysteria over a “trend” fear of sorts. The title of the play, The Crucible, was a clever choice Miller made during a conversation with his scientist friend who was experimenting with a crucible, a heating process that purifies chemicals. Much like the characters of the play, any substance that goes into the pot comes out drastically changed. As proven in the presentations, the title is a metaphor that epitomizes the events and characters in…

Does everyone have to go to college? It is strongly argued that everyone should at least attempt college if they want a shot at a successful life. This is not always true. In today’s time there are jobs that don’t require a college degree. By telling all the young people that they should go to college no matter what, we are actually doing them a disadvantage. All students should have the ability to go to college if they choose to, but it should not be necessary that every student must go to…

Although fishing is prevalent in Alaska all year long, May is the month when the fishing season officially kicks off. This is when the King Salmon fishes can be found in droves. If you want to have the best experience of fishing in Alaska, it is advisable to book a fishing package with a company in Alaska. Fishing experts know the areas where these fishes congregate and how to spot them. You can pick a date in the months of May or June for fishing in Alaska and make your travel arrangements…

marketed as safe products providing a sensation of traditional smoking without the harmful effects, delivering pure nicotine and releasing harmless water vapor that vanishes in seconds [Anon, 2014 and Smoke, 2014]. Puffing activates the battery-operated heating element in the atomizer and the liquid. The liquid consists of various combinations of propylene glycol, glycerin, nicotine, tobacco extracts, flavorants and/or adulterants which vaporize to an aerosol/vapor. The newer generations of ECs…

While cookies are baking in the oven, heat transfer occurs to make them bake correctly. As said by the author Nora Fulmer, heat transfer is the process where an item comes into contact with a heat source and exchange thermal energy between two objects. It is a complex process that removes bacteria, while cooking food. Heat energy is created and transferred when food becomes hot, its molecules absorb energy and begin bouncing off each other. The first type of heat transfer is conduction.…
