GC: n CT: Radon is the main source of exposure to natural radioactivity for humans because it is the only descendant of uranium to exist in a gaseous state. This allows it to leave the surface of a rock containing some uranium and enter the atmosphere. Its ability to escape

GC: n CT: Thermal power plant based on a Rankine cycle. In a simple Rankine cycle, steam is used as the working fluid, generated from saturated liquid water (feed-water). This saturated steam flows through the turbine, where its internal energy is converted into mechanical work to run an electricity generating

GC: n CT: With the knowledge that it is of critical economic importance to know the power and therefore energy produced by different types of wind turbine in different conditions, in this exemplar we will calculate the rotational kinetic power produced in a wind turbine at its rated wind speed.

GC: n CT: Every wind turbine design has a cut-in wind speed, a rated wind speed, and a cut-out wind speed. At the cut-in wind speed, the blades start to turn and a trickle of electricity starts to be produced. Around cut-in, the generator may be used as a motor

GC: n CT: The conservation of energy is an essential step we can all take toward overcoming the mounting problems of the worldwide energy crisis and environmental degradation. Although developing countries and countries with economies in transition are very much interested in addressing the issues related to the inefficient power

GC: n CT: What is reactive architecture? Reactive Applications are the next major evolution of the Internet. They allow for applications to be responsive, scalable and resilient by building on a fully event-driven foundation. Typesafe’s Reactive Platform, consisting of the Play Framework, the Akka middleware and the Scala programming language

GC: n CT: Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.

GC: n CT: When EcoLogic undertakes reforestation we plant native seedlings and saplings in places where healthy forest used to stand. Many forests grow and replenish themselves naturally when seeds are dispersed from existing trees by wind, birds, and other animal life, but human reforestation efforts can speed up this

GC: n CT: How Do Geothermal Systems Work? Three basic components make up a geothermal system. They are: 1) The Ground Loop Heat Exchanger, 2) The Ground Source Heat Pump and 3) The Distribution System (ductwork, radiant flooring, fan coil, etc.). The Ground Loop is the interface with the earth

GC: n CT: Renewables will also have a crucial role to play in the UK energy mix in the decades beyond, making the most of the UK’s abundant natural resources. To increase and accelerate the use of renewable energy in the UK, we have introduced: Renewables Obligation (RO) – provides

GC: n CT: Renewable Energy Integration focuses on incorporating renewable energy, distributed generation, energy storage, thermally activated technologies, and demand response into the electric distribution and transmission system. A systems approach is being used to conduct integration development and demonstrations to address technical, economic, regulatory, and institutional barriers for using

GC: n CT: IRENA initiated a global collection of existing materials on renewable energy potentials. This led to more than 10, 000 references being collated from those available over the internet. The references broadly cover different types of information, from GIS-based systems, to grey literature providing some information on a

GC: n CT: A reservoir is an artificial lake where water is stored. Most reservoirs are formed by constructing dams across rivers. A reservoir can also be formed from a natural lake whose outlet has been dammed to control the water level. The dam controls the amount of water that

GC: npl CT: There is a wide range of biomass materials that are produced as byproducts, residues or wastes from some other process, operation or industry. many of these have a valuable energy content that can usefully be exploited. In many cases this may have the added benefit of divertin

GC: n CT: Resistivity is also important in power distribution systems as the effectiveness of the earth grounding system for an electrical power and distribution system greatly depends on the resistivity of the earth and soil material at the location of the system ground. Conduction is the name given to

GC: n CT: CT: Riprap works by absorbing and deflecting the impact of a wave before the wave reaches the defended structure. The size and mass of the riprap material absorbs the impact energy of waves, while the gaps between the riprap traps and slows the flow of water, lessening

GC: n CT: The European Commission has been working since 2007 to end roaming charges in the EU. The Eurotariff capped prices for the whole EU as a first step. The tariffs were then gradually reduced and roaming charges were completely eliminated. Since 15 June 2017, people pay national prices

GC: n CT: What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a robot? For many people it is a machine that imitates a human—like the androids in Star Wars, Terminator and Star Trek: The Next Generation. However much these robots capture our imagination, such robots

GC: n CT: Robots are comprised of several systems working together as a whole. The type of job the robot does dictates what system elements it needs. The general categories of robot systems are: Controller Body Mobility Power Sensors Tools. S: http://prime.jsc.nasa.gov/ROV/systems.html (last access: 28 December 2014) N: 1. robot

GC: n CT: Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robot s. This field overlaps with electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence , mechatronics, nanotechnology , and bioengineering. Science-fiction author Isaac Asimov is often given credit for being the first person to use

GC: n CT: Wind turbines harness the power of the wind and use it to generate electricity. Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The energy in the wind
