In English 1002 you learn a style of writing that is vastly different than the writing I did throughout high school and it varied slightly from the work we did in the Fall 2016 semester. In high school, many of my papers could be written with little revision and they also focused mostly on literary responses, like writing book reports that took little effort and could be written along with the rubric and receive a good grade. In high school the most sources I was ever required to get was ten, so…

Insulating or not insulating? This is the question Being the effect of green roofs on energy use closely related to specific climate conditions. In the following a geographically explicit investigation of the effects of thermal insulation, growing medium and plant selection on the thermal efficacy of the installation of green roofs is proposed. This section summarizes the findings related to a number of case studies about green roofs and their thermal behaviour both monitored and modelled. Green…

Introduction There are numerous similarities between a wall air conditioner and a window air conditioner, but the main intention of the former is not to place it on a window. Wall air conditioners are placed directly within the wall of the building. Well, if you already have an air conditioning unit at your home, no worries! The only difference between the wall air conditioner and the central air conditioner is that the former can be mounted to the wall of the building. It also comes with a…

SiO2 is the material that is commonly used as an anti-reflection coating for the solar cells. It is well known and was investigated in the path. In this thesis it is regarded, as one of the possible methods to improve the performance just by adding anti-reflection layer. For the SHJ solar cell additional layer of such material at the top of the structure may enhance the efficiency of the device. The main idea is to apply at the top of the flat structure the layer of etched SiO2, which can form…

Before the Prime Meridian Conference of 1884, almost every country in the world had some method of time recognition and a local prime meridian, which was in operation. Most people calculated time based upon the sun. Some communities used instruments to observe the suns zenith at noon. And with the development of the pendulum clock, in the 17th century, the observance of time was sufficiently accurate and was used at sea to determine longitudes in the 18th century. As travel improved, and forms…

The first public street was installed in the Moorish Empire capital, Cordoba, Spain, in the 10th century. These lights were made of kerosene lanterns. In the following centuries, street lights went through many changes. Unfortunately, street lights have no reached many cities in Haiti. In fact, it was impossible for cities and towns without electricity to have street lights. We're hoping with the emergence of new street light technologies and renewable energy technologies that street lights…

This report is a preamble assignment based on the Rex Hill Solar project. It states whether the project is viable and whether the Rex Hill winery can be able to continue with it or not by considering the benefits or the advantages associated with the project. Solar energy is one of the efficient energies that can be experienced on earth. It uses the sun and converts its rays into electricity. The connections involved are a little bit of lower cost than when the electricity is used. With better…

Learning is very important to me and I take the opportunity to go to college very seriously. Learning has always played a significant role in my life. Not only in school, but also outside of it, I have strived to learn more whether it be about space or the stock market. I know where I want to go in life and an Engineering degree from Texas A&M would only be the beginning. Primarily, my interest lies in sustainable power sources for the future of mankind, but more specifically solar energy. Solar…
