many advantages in constructing the Three Gorges Dam‚ and among them are flood control‚ power generation‚ improved shipping conditions and tourism attractions. The dam will control flooding because; the capacity of Three Gorges Dam flood control reservoir is about 22.15 billion cubic meters‚ which can control the upstream flood efficiently. Even in dire flood situations‚ the dam can automatically control the flow of the river within an acceptable range of safety. With the help of the flood diversion

to give it energy (expressed in terms of voltage)‚ transporting the energy via a distribution system‚ using the energy‚ and dumping the spent charge back to the Earth. The Earth acts as a charge reservoir and reference potential for the energy transfer process.While this picture of the Earth as the reservoir of charge from which charge is taken and to which charge is returned after the energy is used is the "big picture" of the large generation and distribution system‚ it may not be applied too literally

The reducing high quality oil resources and increase of oil price contributed to production from heavy oil reservoirs in recent years. This paper investigates the heavy crude oil properties and evaluates the steam-assisted gravity drainage(SAGD) which has become

A float chamber or float bowl is the reservoir where fuel that enters the carburetor is stored. At the reservoir’s surface‚ a device that floats is linked to a small valve to keep a constant amount of fuel inside the reservoir. The carburetor also has two other nozzles are aside from the main nozzle found at the venturi of the carburetor - the idle port and the off-idle or transfer

Fossil Fuels: Oil Introduction History We are a country that runs on oil. From the gasoline in our cars to the plastic in our computers to the detergents that we put in our dishwashers‚ we rely on oil for our modern way of life. It cannot be understated just how strong of a role it plays in our economy and politics. It is used in tractors that plow and harvest food. It is used to power manufacturing plants and as feedstock in commercial goods. It powers all the trains and trucks that bring goods
