Solar energy

Solar Updraft Towers Solar updraft towers were designed as an alternative to other current energy sources that are nonrenewable by using kinetic energy to transfer heat. The technology in a solar updraft tower is that it incorporates a large greenhouse-type structure, referred to as a collector, which generates heat from the sun and transfers the heat by convection out of a tall chimney tower that is at the center of the structure. As hot air rises and evacuates from the top of the tower, a…

This document includes information about the project Helios, which is a solar powered wrist worn fitness tracker. Within this document is a project overview, objective/goals of Helios, risks associated with the project and a project timeline. This is in order to ensure that the stakeholders: Kingston Steele, Don Heer, Rachael Cate and Akash Kannegulla and the contributors: Bridget Donohue, Maricela Valenzuela and Al-Khatab Al-Busaidi have the same objectives and understanding regarding this…

art” for one command line, leading me to my article. Kinetic art is a unique art style that differentiate itself from other art form. The article states that the Concordia’s science building will house an artwork in conjunction with its display of solar power technology. The artwork is a unique because it is a kinetic sculpture that will be created by Jeffrey Zachmann. The purpose is to bring a greater…

renewable energy and clean power. Solar energy is can be the answer to cut air pollution and carbon emissions. Solar energy is available almost across the entire planet and is a limitless source of power. Recent innovations in photovoltaic technology has made solar energy a cheaper and viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.The reason why solar energy is limitless because it uses energy from the sun and the sun will remain usable source for billions of years. Another reason solar energy…

Renewable energy are a source of green energy, environment friendly, but more important in the socio economic aspect, especially since they provide thousands of green job opportunities, and can lead to a new regional industrial cluster. Solar energy is artlessly the energy produced directly by the sun and collected in the earth. The sun produces its energy by a thermonuclear process that transforms about 650,000,000 tons of hydrogen to helium every second. The process creates heat and…

Innovating Building material Solar –thermal cladding (solar activated façade) The innovating building material I am going to write about is The Solar –thermal cladding . This type of cladding is the new type of cladding whereby solar panels are added to the cladding to form a more efficient and sustainable materials for all sorts of buildings. ( Eco building pulse, 2016) This is a new style where by the solar panels are hidden and are covered by materials such as wood , at this moment in time…

yield production [5-7]. The variation in the convective heat transfer coefficient and thermal coefficient of solar stills were studied by Tiwari and Tripathi [8, 9], where the Brine depth was chosen as major parameter that affects the still performance. As brine depth increases, the volumetric heat capacity of the still is reduced; hence the water temperature is decreased for the given solar irradiation. The heat stored in the water during sunshine hours is released during the night time and…

As much as solar seems to be and is a great way of harnessing an inexhaustible resource, there are two sides to each view. One side being that solar is a clean energy with out potential destruction to the natural environment and habitats. And the other that, even though it is clean and realistically free, it leaves an imprint. We are and…

The arguments about supporters and critics are well stated facts about DST. Either DST Has a positive or negative affects on the people. It is surely positive because a great mind, such as Ben Franklin is behind the debate of DST. It must be positive. Studied have shown that DST save lives! If DST wasn't safe for the people why would such a great mind, encourage this topic. The citizens of United state have been proposing DST for over 200 years, If it was a threat for the us culture it would be…

How The Sun Produces Light and Heat Matthew K Paschall Tennessee Tech University Abstract In the center of our solar system sits the key to life on Earth, the sun. The sun provides us with light and heat among other things. The reason for this research paper is to discuss the physics behind the sun and how it creates its light and heat that is so important to our life. How the Sun Produces Heat and Light The sun is the necessary ingredient to many of the processes and phenomena that take…
