Solar thermal energy

Potential energy plays a big roll in a rollercoasters. All rollercoasters have the highest point or lowest point where the cart is at rest but either low or high. That is where potential energy is. Potential energy is the energy which results in position. Usually the most potential energy in a roller coaster is when it is about to start. The way that this type of energy is calculated and measured in P=MGH. M, being Mass, G being Gravity,…

Energy is measured in four different categories; calories, joules, kilocalories and kilojoules. Calories are the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by one degree. A joule of energy is what it takes to move a mass of 1 gram at a velocity of one meter per second. For every one calorie there are 4.2 joules. A kilocalorie is the amount of energy to raise 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree. Kilojoules is the same a joules but it needs to be times by one thousand. The body needs…

Many people wonder what the best conditions are for growing crystals. Crystals are ordinarily made out of silicon dioxide molecules formed into an interlaced pattern ,or quartz, moreover sodium with chlorine ions interweaved (Science Line). Crystals are often found in mines everywhere, rocks, or even in your own home. These beautiful minerals are very intriguing. It is a worthwhile subject to research. My scientific question is in “In what temperature do crystals grow the longest ?”My hypothesis…

In comparison to the group work done for paper one, I do believe this was an improvement, mostly because we wrote the paper as we worked through the problem. This not only helped with preventing the procrastination of typing the paper at the last minute, but gave us time to gain an understanding of what was going in the problem by going to office hours. What I feel needs improvement is my the communication between my partner and I. partner initiative to understand the problem. There were times…

physics, energy is usually described as the ability of a system to perform work. However, this definition is often challenged because of the many different forms energy can hold. There have been definitions derived which are more suitable to certain contexts. Thermal energy is a more specific energy explored in this investigation process. Thermal energy is one of the types of energy which can be defined by ‘the ability to perform work’. It is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy…

flow forth abundantly unto you. Today you are still in the process of being created and can use the laws of energy to attract into your lives the sweetest joys, an enormous peace, and all the happiness you could have, and the very desires of your soul. Our like energy is attracting other like energy. There are only two types of energy, positive energy and negative energy and these two energies either attract to each other or they repel and retract away from each other which defines how all…

The heat exchanger has main application in thermal power plant and engines. A shell and tube heat exchanger has two concentric tubes the inner tube contains the hot fluid whereas the outer tube has cold fluid flowing in it. The heat exchange takes place from hot fluid to cold fluid and this heat exchange…

of heat. This is when the pack gets colder. The enthalpy of dissolution for these salts determines rather they can be used in the hot or cold packs. The enthalpy of dissolution is the measurement of energy released or absorbed when a solute dissolves in a solvent. In this case the measurement of energy released or absorbed when the salt dissolves in the water.…

Viscosity and Flow Rate by Hasnain S. and Vinh T. What is Viscosity: Viscosity is the measurement of how fast a fluid will flow. In other words, it is the “thickness” or “thinness” of a fluid. The internal friction or resistance it has as well as the temperature in which the fluid is at determines the viscosity of the substance as well. If there is more internal resistance or friction, then the particles of the substance won’t slid past each other as easily and therefore make the substance…
