CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Computer simulation was developed hand-in-hand with the rapid growth of the computer‚ following its first large-scale deployment during the Manhattan Project in World War II to model the process of nuclear detonation. It was a simulation of 12 hard spheres using a Monte Carlo algorithm. Computer simulation is often used as an adjunct to‚ or substitution for‚ modeling systems for which simple closed form analytic solutions are not possible. There

Tidal EffectsTides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of gravitational forces exerted by the Moon‚ Sun‚ and rotation of the Earth. Some shorelines experience two nearly equal high and low tides each day‚ called a semidiurnal tide. Marias a dark region of considerable extent on the surface of the moon Cratera large

Chapter 1 Introduction The notion of going green is not strictly a new technological concept‚ and any naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible energy such as wind‚ biomass‚ and solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel is referred to as renewable energy. The relevance of these emerging fields became more pronounced when the need to produce clean‚ safe and efficient energy devices without trading off environmental friendliness arise. The current

Solar Panel The world’s energy demands increase year after year‚ while its resources are consistently being depleted in order to sustain these energy demands. These limited resources will one day be no more. A dependable source of renewable energy must be found. Currently solar energy is not efficient enough to sustain the population. However‚ the technology is constantly advancing‚ and solar energy could one day be that source. The solar cell’s roots can be traced all the way back

Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy: The major benefit of solar is avoiding green house gases that fossil fuels produce. The first and foremost advantage of solar energy is that it does not emit any greenhouse gases. Solar energy is produced by conducting the sun’s radiation – a process void of any smoke‚ gas‚ or other chemical by-product. This is the main driving force behind all green energy technology‚ as nations attempt to meet climate change obligations in curbing emissions. Italy’s

A solar car is an electric vehicle powered by solar energy. This is the result obtained from solar panels on the surface (usually the top) of the vehicle. Photovoltaic cells integrated into the panels convert the sun’s energy directly into electrical energy‚ electricity is captured and then stored in batteries that power the electric motor of the car. Electrical systems and electronic control the operation from capture to storage of solar energy received."In 1982‚ the Australian Hans Tholstrup built

The environment is something you are very familiar with. It’s everything that makes up our surroundings and affects our ability to live on the earth—the air we breathe‚ the water that covers most of the earth’s surface‚ the plants and animals around us‚ and much more. In recent years‚ scientists have been carefully examining the ways that people affect the environment. They have found that we are causing air pollution‚ deforestation‚ acid rain‚ and other problems that are dangerous both to the

but it also led to the children’s misfortune as displaced persons‚ and the trauma left to fill the void of their losses. As news of the transports spread‚ in a month’s time‚ 1‚950 children travelled from Germany and Austria to England (Fast). The first Kindertransport‚ organized by Norbert Wollheim‚ left Berlin on December 1‚ 1938. 196 children rode on the train‚ all from an orphanage demolished in the aftermath of Kristallnacht.
