Passive Solar Design ITT Technical Institute Cap Stone [ April 6‚ 2012 ] Passive Solar Design Passive solar homes are houses designed to use the suns energy to heat the home. With this design it is also easy to cool these homes. The design has been around since men have walked the earth. It is so basic that it often gets over looked by architectural designers today. With the price of fossil fuel‚ and global warming‚ we can no longer over look this housing design. Our ancestors

THERMAL POLLUTION It is one of the pollution that effects on living things and the environment badly. The definition of thermal pollution is the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperature. A common cause of thermal pollution is the use of water as a coolant by power plants and industrial manufacturers. When water used as a coolant is returned to the natural environment at a higher temperature‚ the change in temperature decreases oxygen supply‚ and affects ecosystem composition

THERMAL EXPANSION HEAT MYP-5 | Thermal Expansion happens a lot in everyday life. When something is heated and expands this is Thermal Expansion. The way Thermal Expansion works‚ is when it is heated the atoms expand‚ and then when it is cooled it shrinks. Several examples of Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature. When a substance is heated‚ its particles begin moving more and thus usually maintain a greater average separation

THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM AND TEMPERATURE Two systems are said to be in thermal equilibrium with each other‚ if they are at the same temperature. ZEROTH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS It states that if two systems A and B are in thermal equilibrium with a third system C‚ then A and B must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. Fig. 1.01 shows two systems A and B separated by an adiabatic wall (a wall which does not allow hear flow).The two systems are placed in contact

looking in the past we can find a way to further develop traditional applications. Werner talks about how roof and façade have similar functions therefore are combined to become building skin. For example‚ lighting‚ ventilation‚ glare-protection‚ insulation‚ sun protection‚ safety‚ noise control‚ etc. These are very important factors I must

Essay on pollution:Environmental pollution is the biggest menace to the human race on this planer today and this article is an essay on pollution describing its effects on human beings and whole environment. Basically pollution means addition of impurities to the environment which consists of earth‚ water‚ air‚ plants and animals. If we kept on polluting them then for sure the existence of human and nature will be hampered.Firstly there is a growing amount of atmospheric degradation which causes

the specimen. Theory Blanza‚ J.‚ Guevara‚ C.‚ Morsiquillo‚ A.‚ Nacu‚ G. (2012) noted that the transfer of energy is made by temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. The common units for heat are calorie and BTU (British Thermal Unit). A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1°C while BTU is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1°F. The factors that affect the transfer of heat energy are
