design phase. Sound propagation models like ISO 9613-2 is commonly used in noise prediction studies due to its simple input parameters required but it does not take into account some factors that have a significant effects on the results such as wind velocity‚ wind direction and some weather conditions like temperature gradient. Also it assumes the condition of downwind in all directions. So‚ the calculations can be affected by the absence of these important definitions which results in uncertainty percentage

The predominant factors resulting in the warming of the earth are the emissions of CO2 and deforestation. CO2‚ which damages the ozone layer‚ comes from several sources‚ but the most problematic are those coming from the burning of fossil fuels from power plants. This releases thousands of tones of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. Another cause of these emissions is the burning of gasoline for transportation‚ which continues to increase because of our demand for cars and also our increasing worldwide

SC300-05: Big Ideas in Science: From Methods to Mutations Laurie Leet October 24‚ 2014 Energy is defined as the ability to do work‚ such as propel the body forward by taking a step (motion). Energy and its ability to do work are measured in joules: power (watts) x time (seconds) and work joules = force (newtons) x distance (Trefil et al‚ 2010). Energy exists in many forms; kinetic (motion or movement)‚ potential (stored)‚ thermal/heat (atoms and molecules)‚ wave and mass (Trefil et al‚ 2010) to name

are looking at a society that is far more primitive than the one to which we have been accustomed. Global Energy Consumption: In 2008‚ total worldwide energy consumption was 474 exajoules (474×1018 J=132‚000 TWh). This is equivalent to an average power use of 15 terawatts (1.504×1013 W). The entire world’s economy is based on oil and other fossil fuels. These provide fuel‚ lubricants‚ asphalt‚ paint‚ plastics‚ fertilizer‚ and many other products. In 1850‚ before commercial production began‚ there

Let alone increase the supply of energy‚ situation has worsened due to poor management‚ operational inefficiencies‚ power theft‚ and line losses. This largely sums up the problems country faces in its battle to restore sanity in energy sector‚ which is now nudging the economy towards disaster‚ warns latest report of Asian Development Bank.

The occurrence of prolonged and frequent power outages has had a negative impact on industry operation‚ the economy and the livelihood of citizens in general . While the energy shortage continues to grow‚ abundant indigenous sustainable energy resources such as wind‚ solar and biomass remain virtually untapped. The government attempted to
