Energy Sources & Energy Transfer Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ which are renewable (naturally replenished). Sources: Solar Energy Wind Energy Hydropower Biomass Energy Hydrogen Geothermal Energy Ocean Energy A non-renewable resource is a natural resource which cannot be produced‚ grown‚ generated‚ or used on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate‚ once depleted there is no more available for

2.5 Aspects of Solar Cell Efficiency Most of the energy that reaches a cell in the form of sunlight is lost before it is converted to electricity. The usual efficiency of these systems ranges between 10% to 15%‚ though sometimes this efficiency increases to 30% and more. Certain physical properties affect the cell efficiency which we will briefly state. 1- Reflection: Studies show that untreated silicon reflects 36% or more of sunlight that strikes it. Chemically coating and texturing the surface

Geothermal Energy Introduction The Geothermal is a clean and sustainable (renewable) energy. It has been estimated that the heat of the centre of the earth may reach 6000°C. It has been found that the increases one degree °C for 30-50 meters. The word geothermal is derived from Greek language where the first syllable “Geo” means “earth” and the second syllable “thermal” means “heat”. How it works The geothermal energy should be made useful through electrical generators. We are not free to dig

pollution can be made into a useful gas and our fossil fuels can be saved‚ making a better future for our new generations‚ that’s why scientists say that WASTE…………..IS NOT A WASTE!!!!!!!! Electricity is produced by hydro-electric power‚ wind power‚ solar power and geothermal power. All of these ways are expensive which neither a normal nor a poor country can afford. In poor countries the city’s waste water and the factories waste water is discharged into the sea‚ making it polluted. People drinking

Energy Transformation Conduction‚ convection‚ and radiation are things that exist in our life. Thanks to that stuff we have things like electricity and things to cook too. I am going to explain things about energy transformation. Heat transfer is the way heat moves through matter to change the temperature of other objects. There are three types of heat transfers‚ Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation. The first kind of heat transfer‚ conduction‚ is heat transferring through direct contact of materials

The energy that is used today comes from fossil fuels‚ which is a nonrenewable limited resource that will eventually be used up. Alternative energy sources such as solar‚ hydroelectric‚ geothermal and wind energies can be used‚ to conserve the planets limited natural resources. Alternative energy is the use of another energy without the burning of fossil fuels and break up on atoms. Solar energy can be used to operate cars and provide electricity for homes and businesses. Hydroelectric energy can

THE SOLAR SYSTEM T The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it‚ all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The vast majority of the system’s mass (well over 99%) is in the Sun. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic
