Electricity from Natural Gas Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed when layers of buried plants and animals are exposed to intense heat and pressure over thousands of years. The energy that the plants and animals originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of carbon in natural gas. Natural gas is combusted to generate electricity‚ enabling this stored energy to be transformed into usable power. Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource because it cannot be replenished on a human time frame

the most cost effective means for establishing national and global conservation priorities.” Conservationists are challenged with the problem of protecting a range of species at minimal costs. As such conservationists have to prioritize to help those in most need of assistance or trouble (Myers et al. 2000). Therefore‚ many conservationists have adopted the surrogate species approach as a shortcut to aid with the conservation priority decision (Caro and O’ Doherty 1999). The surrogate species

Gas Compressor Brief Introduction A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are compressible‚ the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible‚ so the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids. Types of Compressors Centrifugal compressors Centrifugal

Shale Gas Shale gas-expanding India’s gas frontier? Samir Verma‚ Senior Manager‚ Schlumberger Business Consulting‚ India‚ Asia Shubha Shanthamurthy‚ Manager‚ Schlumberger Business Consulting‚ Europe‚ CIS & Africa The exploitation of shale gas resources is garnering increasing attention in India‚ which relies on oil imports to fuel its growing economy. In November‚ India signed a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Geological Survey for technical assistance to assess shale gas resources

Lab 5 Conservation of Momentum and Energy Abstract The physics laws governing conservation of momentum and mechanical energy were investigated by performing multiple experiments with differing conditions. Conservation laws state energy is to be conserved in systems with no net external forces. Two trials consisted of inelastic collisions and two trials consisted of elastic conditions. Photogate software helped decipher initial and final velocities in order

Energy conservation is a very important part of energy planning and its management. It not only saves energy resources for future‚ avoids wasteful utilisation of energy‚ provides solution to energy crisis and ensures higher per capita availability/ consumption but controls environmental degradation and pollution. New strategy emphasies greater reliance on non-exhaustible and non-conventional sources of energy so as to conserve exhaustible conventional resources like coal‚ petroleum‚ natural gas etc
