Industry Visit – NeWater Plant An industry visit to Changi NeWater plant took place on 22nd February 2013 under the supervision of Amity faculty‚ Aditya Gupta. It was for a duration of 3 hours and our guide in NeWater was Sharul Mustafa. The guide gave a brief history about Singapore and the reasons why this plant was started. It was a very informative and enriching experience that helped us in understanding the value of nature and optimizing use of limited resources. As a souvenir a bottle of NeWater

of groundwater wells‚ surface-water intakes‚ dams‚ reservoirs‚ storage tanks‚ drinking-water facilities‚ pipes‚ and aqueducts. Briefly I’ll give you a quick rundown on how the service is provided. The groundwater naturally is stored in underground geologic formations‚ and is pumped from its subterranean source via a single well or multiple wells. Surface water can be accessed via an intake pipe in a river‚ canal‚ large lake‚ or artificial reservoir. In some rivers‚ low-head dams may be used to pool

CamelBak: They’ve Got Your ’Bak. In 1989‚ Michael Eidson probably never imagined that his homemade‚ do-it-yourself fix for dehydration during long cycling races would evolve into the world’s premier hydration device for outdoor enthusiasts‚ soldiers‚ and law enforcement personnel. That is exactly what happened to the CamelBak backpack‚ however. The first version‚ which used medical tubing to flow water from an intravenous drip bag that was insulated by a sock and strapped to the back of his shirt

and other parameters. This work is a worldwide review using published data from 94 geothermal plants (6 dry-steam‚ 34 single flash‚ 18 double flash‚ 31 binary‚ 2 hybrid steam-binary and 1 triple flash plant) to find conversion efficiencies based on the reservoir enthalpy. The highest reported conversion efficiency is approximately 21% at the Darajat vapour-dominated system‚ with a worldwide efficiency average of around 12%. The use of binary plants in low-enthalpy resources has allowed the use of energy from

Hydroelectric concerns is the chance that an area can be flooded if the reservoir is not properly filtered and maintained. While this can cause threats to wildlife and the ecosystem if properly maintained such disruptions should be set to a minimum. The initial setup of the geothermal plant is a timely process that has to be carefully

Determine the operating point (hp & Q) and the pump power requirements and efficiency.

Note that for these conditions the velocities at the reservoir surfaces is zero and kinetic energy change can be neglected.

The Filoviridae family of viruses is where the Ebola virus belongs. The virus is distinguished by long filamentous structure which can present as straight‚ branched‚ and circular or a folded strand with a uniform diameter of approximately 80 nm but can be many different lengths. Liver cells‚ neutrophils‚ endothelial cells and macrophages are specifically targeted by the virus. Large quantities of cytokines are created by infected cells which solicits a large response from the immune system and interrupts

Renewable sources of Energy Summary The potential of renewable energy sources is enormous as they can in principle meet many times the world’s energy demand. Renewable energy sources such as biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ hydropower‚ and geothermal can provide sustainable energy services‚ based on the use of routinely available‚ indigenous resources. A transition to renewables-based energy systems is looking increasingly likely as their costs decline while the price of oil and gas continue to fluctuate
