Work Renewable and Non-renewable energy sources &Fuels: Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are constantly and sustainably replenished. The most common renewable energy sources are biomass‚ hydroelectric‚ geothermal‚ wind power and solar power. Sunlight is the source of most renewable energy power; the sun can be used to produce solar energy which is electricity for heating‚ cooling‚ lighting homes and transportation. [1] Non-renewable energy is energy that comes from the ground and

MEA heat exchanger E-114. This heat exchanger is a counter flow shell and tube heat exchanger and is designed to heat up the rich MEA stream flowing from the CO2 absorber to the stripper. The principle that is applied is heat exchange between cold stream and hot stream which in this case the heat energy is transferred from the lean MEA stream to the rich MEA stream. Apart from this‚ the chemical engineering design for this heat exchanger includes the determination of its dimensions and heat exchange

FORMAL REPORT ON HEAT CAPACITY RATIOS OF GASES ABSTRACT This report discusses an investigation of the heat capacities of Helium‚ Nitrogen‚ and Carbon Dioxide. To accurately determine experimental values for the heat capacity of each gas‚ the heat capacity ratio was calculated from measurements of the speed of sound in each gas. An apparatus designed to measure the wavelength and frequency of sound waves in each gas was used to determine the speed of sound as a frequency was passed through each

The luckiest nut in the world Why is the American peanut the luckiest nut in the world? The peanut was introduced to China by Portuguese traders in the 1600s and another variety by American missionaries in the 1800s. They became popular and are featured in many Chinese dishes‚ often being boiled. In the 80’s production began to increase more by 2006 China was the world ’s largest peanut producer. A major factor in this increase has been China’s move away from a communist economic system

and businesses‚ geothermal power plants use superheated fluids from the earth’s geothermal energy to generate electricity. When magma heats up the water from underground‚ it creates superheated fluids. When these super-heated fluids reach the surface they will be turned into steam. This steam will then power a turbine‚ which will in turn power a conductor. The conductor will then produce electrical energy. ¬¬¬¬¬¬To create enough steam to power the steam turbines‚ the superheated fluid must

efficient‚ clean‚ high out-put energy production. As a civilization we need not focus on what the past has held for energy production but rather what the present and future hold for us. Two key options are the long lasting‚ high out-put but environmentally hazardous option which is nuclear fission (nuclear power) and the safe but potential ground water contamination hazard which is geothermal energy. This paper will point out strictly fact based information on both forms of energy and which one shows the

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke As days slowly begin to heat up it is important to stay cool and keep hydrated across the screaming scorching sun. Summer time usually means longer days and if you live close to the equator you know about the 100+ degree weather that comes with it. Without the proper precautions you could easily fall to heat exhaustion or far worse a heat stroke. Athletes are more prone to this type of sudden illnesses because of the constant running and exercise they do on a daily
