Non-renewable resource

chracterizes the axial flow turbine is its rotation axis. It could be placed vertically or horizontally to water surface. In this latter type the axis is parallel positioned to the incoming water stream. Also the generator can be submerged under water or non-submerged. This turbine is usually used as tidal energy converter. For small river use, the axis could be an angle inclined to the water stream. See figure \ref{Hydro_HorizontalAxis}. Hydrokinetic converters with a vertical axis concept are…

correspondingly the wind turbine source is given to the SEPIC converter. Solar energy and wind energy are the two renewable energy sources most common in use. Hybridizing solar and wind power sources provide a realistic form of power generation. The chapter deals with the concept of how this hybridization of solar and wind is used to get maximum efficiency and complete utilization of renewable energy sources. Many hybrid wind and PV power systems…

♣ Reducing-In order to reduce water usage in its plants Coca Cola has developed the goal of improving water efficiency in its plants by 25% by the year 2020.In order to achieve this goal Coca Cola India has been making significant investments in best in class technology and optimizing the water use in its processes The results has been reduction in the water usage ratio i.e. the water consumed per liter of beverage produced from 2.12 to 1.97 within three years from 2012 to 2014 Figure 1: Water…

the challenges into internal and external challenges. Internal challenges are the challenges that come from inside of the society not from outside factor, such as the institutional weaknesses, weaknesses of organizational set-up and the lack of resources & infrastructure. While the external challenges mean the outside factors that have an impact on the Arabic society, for example, the lack of support from governments among many countries. Also, the cultural constraints can be another example of…

reason or reasons; energy efficient building is a concept whose time has come. In another words, sustainable design, also called green or environmental design, is a philosophy that yields physical products made purely of renewable resources. Depending on the setting, these resources could be solar, water or wind…

Scientists have begun to have an increasing focus on maintaining our energy resources and making sure that our planet remains habitable for the longest span of time possible. Since solar energy relies on a natural resource and doesn’t take away from any other form of energy, it has become one of the most reasonable form of green energy sources to this date. Although Solar Energy may be one of the most efficient form of non-harmful energy sources, it is not as efficient as its alternatives to…

are the environmental effects of using natural resources as sources of energy?” Introduction What are the environmental effects of using natural resources as sources of energy? In this investigation, I will be explaining the environmental consequences of energy production/consumption, energy production near the Great Barrier Reef and answering the question: should new mining be allowed in Queensland in Australia? Definitions: Natural resource: materials or substances occurring in…

they could just have the solar pannels themselves and be independent. The one and major inconveience of solar power is what do you do on a cloudy day? Or if one place does not get a lot of sun how can it run? Advantages: Solar energy is a renewable resource that is environmentally friendly. Unlike fossil fuels, solar energy is available just about everywhere on earth. And this source of energy is free, immune to rising energy prices. Solar energy can be used in many ways - to provide heat,…

Table 11: Solar energy collector type (Source: Kalogirou (2004)) In the textile industry, energy is mainly consumed for heating of liquid baths close to 100 oC for washing, bleaching and dyeing. Drying processes usually use hot air or gases from 100 to 130 oC as shown in Table 12. In a solar process heat system, interfacing of the collectors with conventional energy supplies must be done in a way compatible with the process. The easiest way to make this is by using heat storage, which can also…
