CHAPTER 4 THERMODYNAMICAL‚ THERMOPHYSICAL‚ AND RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF FRUITS AND FRUIT PRODUCTS 4.1. INTRODUCTION Most processed and many freshly consumed fruits receive some type of heating or cooling during handling or manufacturing. Design and operation of processes involving heat transfer needs special attention due to heat sensitivity of fruits. Both theoretical and empirical relationships used when designing‚ or operating‚ heat processes need knowledge of the thermal properties

Harnessing of Solar Energy: Photosynthesis versus Semiconductor Based Solar Cell Photosynthesis and semiconductor-based solar cells are both used to harness solar energy from the sun – photosynthesis for plants and semiconductor based solar cells for human beings. Photosynthesis consists of light reactions and dark reactions. It is a process in which carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ water (H2O) and light energy are utilized to synthesize an energy-rich carbohydrate like glucose (C6H12O6) and to produce

APPENDIX A: Interim Report 1. Introduction – aim & objective Oil & Gas industry are facing extreme challenges especially as the demand of oil resources is growing every day. The extraction of oil is becoming more technically and geographically challenging as we are going deeper under severe conditions i.e. pressures and temperatures and using complex systems. These complex system and extreme conditions like in wide range of fluids‚ temperatures

However‚ for the purpose of this paper‚ I will compare and contrast how energy and electricity is generated through photosynthesis and a semi-conductor based solar cell. In addition‚ this paper will explain how both processes relate to the laws of thermodynamics. Photosynthesis and semi-conductor based solar cells have many similarities. They harvest sunlight‚ split water molecules‚ and produce an output of energy. Plants harvest sunlight through direct contact. Solar cells also harvest sunlight

Determination of the Calorific Value of Fuels Aim: To quantify the amount of energy produced by different fuels and to determine which fuel is more efficient (has a higher calorific value). Introduction: The easiest way to achieve our aim is by heating a substance with a known specific heat capacity and using the energy released from burning our fuels. This will give us the value of the heat energy released by the combustion of our two fuels. The chemical reaction for combustion: FUEL
