house to be classified as passive. Space Heating Demand not to exceed 15kWh annually OR 10W (peak demand) per square metre of usable living space Space Cooling Demand roughly matches the heat demand with an…

The masses of the blocks were measured and came up to 1.011Kg for copper and 1.009Kg for aluminum. The temperature was also taken before heating and after heating. From these measurements, the rise in temperature was obtained by finding the difference between the initial and final temperature. The voltage and current applied were also calculated. Finally, the electrical energy converted…

Arrehenius and scientist Thomas Chamberlin later focused on carbon dioxide and the use of it with humans. They developed the concept that human activities could affect global warming by their excessive use of carbon dioxide that would soon contribute to a heating in earth’s temperature. Even though it was years ago when they first discovered that human activities are a large factor in contributing to global warming, many recent studies have shown and proven that this concept is true and the…

A number of factors play a part: Central heating tends to make the atmosphere dry, and can dry out your baby’s skin. Your baby’s hands and face are particularly prone to getting cold. This can cause dryness and chapping. Baby skincare can be difficult in the winter with central heating, icy winds and itchy clothing. A number of factors play important roles in making the baby's skin drier in winter. Apart from the dry and cold winds, the central heating, which actually makes the entire atmosphere…

What is the optimum angle of tilt (from the horizontal) for a solar collector located at 30 N latitude for the purpose of domestic water heating? For space heating? The angle of tilt would be 30 degrees for both domestic water heating and space heating because the tilt is supposed to be equal to the latitude. 4. What are the disadvantages and advantages of locating solar collectors on a vertical, south-facing wall? An advantage is that insolation…

Steam released from the boiler powers an engine called a turbine transforming heat into energy from burning coal in to mechanical energy that spins the turbine engine then used to power a generator. Coal is used for many different things mainly heating, cooling, cooking, transportation, farming. Wind is a renewable resource mainly wind is used as a resource through a wind turbine. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan a wind turbine uses wind to make…

What did we use oil for? And how did we survive without such things? Oil, that’s how. However, the way we use oil has changed over time. Before the year 1890, oil was used for our roads, architectural adhesives, ship caulks, medicines, lighting, heating, Greek Fire, religious ceremonies, and many more. After the year 1890, we started using oil for the gasoline that fuels our cars. But let’s go back further. What about the Natives? Did they use oil? Why, yes they did. Natives,…

most common and known methods. Canning is a simple process where you preserve food by heating or cooking foods at a high temperature in a sealed and/or can or jar destroying any organisms that would cause them to spoil. Canning can also reduce the pesticide residue left behind during the washing process. Some nutrients may also be lost in the cooking and heating portion of the canning process. During the heating portion of the process air is driven out of the jar or container causing it to…

Our human society would not be the same without fire. In the beginning when man first discovered fire, it gave us the ability to protect ourselves, cook, gain warmth in the cold and evolve into the people we are today. Although we are uncertain of when the human race had its first camp fire. Many experts point to Wonderwerk cave, which is a million-year-old site in the northern cape province of south Africa. This cave is one of the oldest known locations of human habitation and perhaps gave…
