the specimen. Theory Blanza‚ J.‚ Guevara‚ C.‚ Morsiquillo‚ A.‚ Nacu‚ G. (2012) noted that the transfer of energy is made by temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. The common units for heat are calorie and BTU (British Thermal Unit). A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1°C while BTU is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1°F. The factors that affect the transfer of heat energy are

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion SPH3U I. Introductory Covering over 70% of the earth ’s surface‚ water is one of the most amazing energy sources. From olden times‚ people had previously utilized the force of the waters in order to crush grain or help them to do their work more efficiently. Since then as a power source‚ water draws a lot of attention due to the efficient manner in which it gets to produce electricity. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a method introduced in

practical when it comes to cost savings on gas; whereas driving a diesel-powered truck shows that you do not care about environment with your smoky‚ loud engine and you can usually be found at a gas station fueling up. However‚ are the stereotypes correct? With advancement in clean diesel technology‚ lower costs in overall maintenance and better fuel efficiency as well as a safer‚ stronger engine‚ there is a clear advantage within diesel engines. First‚ let’s look at cost using a GMC Sierra 2500HD. Buying

Gasoline vs. Diesel You’re in the market for a new truck; you have an idea about what you want but not quite sure if you want a gasoline or a diesel engine. Well‚ gas and diesel engines are very similar yet different in quite a few ways. At first glance‚ someone who doesn’t know much about either of the two engines might ask‚ “What’s the difference?” To the untrained eye they might look exactly alike‚ but don’t judge the engine by its exterior look. Gas engines are mainly used by the individual

believe that people have to save the world for the new generation. Global warming is one of the most serious problems now‚ but some people do not care about the environment and keep producing pollution. We can see that there are a lot of animals or plants that are dying because of the high temperatures. Improving the environment has many different solutions such as transportation‚ turning off the electric appliances and recycling. In developed countries‚ people usually have more than one cars and

is affected by thermal energy? My answer to that question is when thermal energy is added to the substance‚ the particles have increased on energy and move around more‚ but when thermal energy is decreased‚ particles are closer together‚ so they don’t move as much because they are low in energy as well as space. Temperature: The question being asked to answer is if temperature is affected by thermal energy. My answer to that question is its affected because when you add thermal energy the temperature

Let’s start with the basics. Aside from additives such as ethanol‚ which is made from corn‚ the gasoline and diesel fuel commonly used today derive from the same source--crude oil. Although they share the same parentage (just like motor oil‚ some plastics‚ and Velveeta)‚ they have very different properties. Gasoline is often thought of as being a single chemical‚ but it’s actually a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that generally have 4 to 12 carbon atoms in their molecules. In the case of gasoline

Function- In the bore of cylinder the fresh charge of air-fuel mixture is ignited‚ compressed by piston and expanded to give power to piston. 2. CYLINDER HEAD- It closes in the top of the cylinder‚ forming the combustion chamber. The head can also be a place to mount the valves‚ spark plugs‚ and fuel injectors.
