...Introduction The article Big Fans Push Air Around, Energy Bills Down written by, Trever Hockensmith discusses how highly efficient large-width fans can reduce consumer energy bills. By using these fans you get better temperature stability throughout a large space, while saving money on energy bills. The different seasons cause energy rates to increase and decrease consumers are looking for more and more ways to stabilize their energy bill. How they save money The big fans will save consumers money by the fan size and the fans unique airfoils, however the speed of these fans are not fast. The fans require minimal electrical input to run. Some consumers reported saving 25% or more on their energy bills, with these fans steady mixing air throughout the space; this can maintain the same temperature control with less effort resulting in a reduction of operating cost. These large fans reduce the cost because temperature gauge do not have to be so low these fans can work at a steady temperature. How they work Big fans work in more than one way. One of the ways these fan work is by slowly mixing air throughout large spaces creating a consistent temperature control. Another way is desertification solution. Stratification occurs because hot air is lighter than cooler air and it cause the hot air to rise to the ceiling. By desertification these large fans mix the air and send the warm air down the rafters, resulting in the ability of these fans to normalize the temperature...

...one large nucleus or particle, and during this process, energy is released in the form of light and heat An example is in the Sun, hydrogen nuclei fuse (combine) together to make helium nuclei which releases energy. Fission- occurs when the nucleus of one big atom splits into 2 new atoms and a tremendous amount of energy is released in the form of light an heat. (nuclear reactor or interior of the earth, uranium nuclei split apart causing energy to be released) Some of the matter making up the nuclei is converted into energy E= mc^2 Energy = mass X (Speed of light)^2 Indicated that energy intrinsically stored in matter at rest equals its mass times the speed of light squared Suggests that an incredibly huge amount of energy is released when a small amount of matter is converted to energy Radiation Energy radiated or transmitted in the form of rays waves or particles Examples Visible light that can be seen by naked eye Infared radiation Ultraviolet radiation (UV) that cannot be ssen with naked eye Long wave radiation such as tv waves and radio waves Very short waves such as x-rays and gamma rays Electromagnetic radiation --Energy from sun that comes to earth in this form --A type of energy that oscillates side to side and is coupled with electric and magnetic fields that travel freely through space --composed of photons or particles of light which are sometimes referred to as packets of energy -- photons like all particles have properties of waves ...

...Life and School Personal responsibility may be defined in variety of ways depending on one’s lifestyle. In my case, personal responsibility is defined through the accomplishment of a loving family, foundation of a solid work environment, and generation of positive results in school. It is always difficult to start a new milestone in life, especially during the time when one has become a husband, a new father, and an entrepreneur. It is more challenging to transition to the school schedule which requires self-discipline, motivation, and dedication. Family, friends and spouse play a major role in one’s life when an individual decides to take a big step in achieving an educational goal. Dedication is the most common goal when comparing personal responsibility to college success. In both cases, one should devote their effort, energy and drive to accomplish the most possible. In addition, an individual who shows great enthusiasm when setting new goals would also attempt to create a preliminary plan to accomplish them. My preliminary plan to practice personal responsibility in my education is the following: 1. Establishing a network of new and existing friends with similar goals and responsibilities 2. Involving my spouse to fully support the objectives and duties set forth by the latter creating a stress-free environment, providing ideas, and proof reading some term papers, if needed 3. Creating a self-disciplined environment in which I can be focused, energized, and open-minded...

Roller-coasters do not have engines, but they are controlled almost completely by the angles and velocity it reaches after the first big drop goes down. Heights are “something figured out by measuring from the base to the top. Specifically, for the roller-coaster, the engineer usually measures the highest point of the coaster, from the ground to the top of it. Next, is speed or velocity, which is “the speed of something in...

...The sun is a main-sequence star and fusion is one of the best ways of creating carbon-free energy but on earth it would take 100 times more heat than on the sun. Nuclear fusion is the big reason that the sun can give out energy, which happens when two or more nuclei come close and collide at at a very high speed creating one full nucleus. So almost everything you are doing right now is powered by nuclear fusion. It is also one of the most powerful sources. Fusion also happens on earth. The discoverer of fusion is Arthur Eddington. The word nuclear refers to the energy stored in nucleus at the center of an atom. In non-nuclear processes like electricity or fire, nuclei of atoms never change. Nuclear energy is complicated. Twenty percent of the US’s energy is supplied by 104 nuclear plants. 31 countries have 430 nuclear power plants. First world power to use nuclear energy to produce electrical power was former Soviet Union. One train car of nuclear energy can keep a regular power plant running for a whole year, but a whole train to keep a conventional power plant running for a year. Chernobyl is a sad example of nuclear explosion. It was filling up the big factory and they did not have anything to trap it from getting out. They are almost close to being able to re-open nuclear power plants after the Chernobyl disaster. They are thinking that the Japan tsunami...

...March 20, 2015 THE FLOW OF ENERGY AND MATTER IN ECOSYSTEM When we think about ecosystems, we need to think both big and small. We need to consider the recycling of atoms between organisms and within their environment and the flow of energy through living organisms and its changes from one form to another. We need to appreciate the relationships between organisms, and between organisms and their environment. We also need to consider the potential effects that these relationships have, not only on individual organisms and their environment, but also on our planet. WATER Organisms need water to survive. The good news is that water cycles through ecosystems. The bad news is that, at times, the amount of water available can be too great (as in the case of floods) or too little (as in the case of drought). Some species have adapted to these conditions and possess adaptations that increase their chances of survival. Other organisms are not so fortunate and severe conditions of too much or too little water can result in their death. If too many of a particular type of organism die, then the decrease in their population size can have implications not only for other members of their food web, but also for other biotic and abiotic factors within their ecosystem. ENERGY As energy flows through ecosystems, from producers to consumers to detrivores to decomposers, some energy is lost at each level. The Sun is life’s main energy supply. Using energy from the Sun, plants make their...

...Fig. 15 shows the average energy statistic result of the sample image. The average energy of one pixel is 584.27pJ without the proposed prediction algorithm, and is 463.13pJ with that, decreased by 26.13%. With the algorithm, the energy is consumed by seven operations/blocks: DAC switching, DAC reset, the analog part of the prediction judgement, the digital part of the prediction judgement, SAR control logic, comparator and memory. Without the algorithm, the energy is consumed by seven operations/blocks: DAC switching, DAC reset, SAR control logic, comparator and memory. It can be seen that without memory, every part consume less power. Moreover, in the prototype chip, all the circuits are powered by 3.3V supply, so the digital components used a large portion of energy in both the two cases. If fabricated by an advanced...

...Unit 1 Revision (higher tier) Energy There are 9 different forms of energy: Light Heat Chemical Kinetic (movement) Electrical Elastic (Gravitational) potential Nuclear Sound Energy is never created or destroyed! Energy is transferred from one form to another form. Not all of the energy transferred by a device is useful energy. Potential energy is stored energy. All energy will eventually spread out to the surroundings as heat. Sample question 1 Sankey diagrams and efficiency Sample sankey diagram for a light bulb Sankey diagrams are ways of representing the different energy transformations that take place in different electrical devices. The start of the sankey diagram shows the total energy going into the device. The diagram then splits off into different sized arrows to represent the other energy transfers that take place, the bigger the arrow the larger the energy. The energy entering the device must equal the energy leaving the device. To know how good a device is at transferring energy you need to be able to calculate the efficiency. To do that you need to use the following equation (which will be given in the exam) OR So for the above example the answer would be Efficiency= 10100=0.1 The closer the efficiency is to 1 the more useful energy the device is transferring. So for the light bulb example we got an efficiency of 0.1, so the light bulb isn’t very good and transferring useful energy. Sample question 2 Kinetic...
