GC: n CT: The development of renewable energy is on the rise worldwide because of the growing demand on energy, high oil prices, and concerns of environmental impacts. In recent years, progress on solar-powered air conditioning has increased as nowadays, air conditioning system is almost a must in every building

GC: n CT: Air pollution is the contamination of the indoor or outdoor air by a range of gasses and solids that modify its natural characteristics. Key health harmful pollutants include particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) 1 , carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), black carbon (BC), sulfur dioxide and nitrogen

GC: n CT: Biofuel cells are energy devices for the production of electricity, inspired by nature in their use of naturally occurring food sources as fuel. Some examples of these fuels are the energy rich molecules available in food, such as carbohydrates and sugars. The inner working of a biofuel

CG: n CT: Aviation is set to become even safer thanks to real-time data transmission from black box flight recorders. In the 1960s, the black box—an Australian invention—became mandated on all commercial aircraft. It consists of two parts—the flight data recorder and a cockpit voice recorder—but one of the problems

GC: n CT: A cache (pronounced CASH) is a place to store something temporarily in a computing environment. In computing, active data is often cached to shorten data access times, reduce latency and improve input/output (I/O). Because almost all application workload is dependent upon I/O operations, caching is used to

CG: n CT: The fundamental and lowest frequency natural modes in a cantilever fan blade exhibit significant amounts of flexure and torsion coupled by pretwist and operation in a rotational force field. Consequently the flutter estimation of such blades requires an accurate structural description that incorporates these two effects, amongst

GC: n CT: Capacitor is an electronic component that stores electric charge. The capacitor is made of 2 close conductors (usually plates) that are separated by a dielectric material. The plates accumulate electric charge when connected to a power source. One plate accumulates positive charge and the other plate accumulates

GC: n CT: The capillary zone, or fringe zone, extends from the water table up to the limit of capillary rise. The thickness of the capillary fringe depends on the soil’s properties and on the homogeneity of the soil, mainly on the pore size distribution. Because of the irregularities in

GC: n CT: What is BIOMASS? Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. In the context of biomass for energy this is often used to mean plant based material, but biomass can equally apply to both animal and vegetable derived material. – Chemical composition Biomass is

GC: n CT: A carbon credit (often called a carbon offset) is a financial instrument that represents a tonne of CO2 (carbon dioxide) or CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent gases) removed or reduced from the atmosphere from an emission reduction project, which can be used by governments, industry or private individuals

GC: n CT: Researchers are developing a new kind of geothermal power plant that will lock away unwanted carbon dioxide (CO2) underground – and use it as a tool to boost electric power generation by at least 10 times compared to existing geothermal energy approaches. The technology to implement this

GC: n CT: A carbon footprint is defined as the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). In other words, when you drive a car, the engine burns fuel, which creates a certain amount of

GC: n CT: Application for the promotion of renewable energy sources: Scientists have developed the first low-cost system for splitting carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen, a process crucial if we want to ramp up renewable energy use in the future. This splitting process has long been identified as

GC: n CT: A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon that it releases, whilst a carbon source is anything that releases more carbon than is absorbed. Forests, soils, oceans and the atmosphere all store carbon and this carbon moves between them in a continuous cycle. This constant movement

GC: n CT: Cathodic protection is employed intensively on the steel drains in oil and gas industry. It is a technique of prevention against the corrosion which transforms the structure into a cathode of a corrosion cell ; Two types of cathodic protection systems are usually applied : The galvanic

GC: n CT: Photosynthetic algae use sunlight to convert CO2 into natural oils that are suitable for conversion into biodiesel. However, harvesting the algae and extracting the oil are currently difficult and expensive operations. Cheaper and more energy efficient processes are required before mass production of algae can be used

GC: n CT: The economic feasibility of central photovoltaic power plants is investigated from the perspective of an electric power utility company. The maximum acceptable price of the system is established, as a function of conventional fuel costs. Factors which would enhance the economic attractiveness of the system are analyzed.

GC: n CT: Charcoal is a fine, black powder made from wood or other natural materials by heating them in an airless environment. Charcoal used for health conditions is usually “activated” to make it a very fine powder, which increases its effectiveness. Activated charcoal can chemically attach, or adsorb, to

CG: n CT: To properly inform the planning and deployment of charging infrastructure, there are many interdependent and often contradicting aspects that should be considered to quantify the performance of charging pools: Being motivated by the need to innovate the road transport that is based on fossil fuels, from the

CG: n CT: Chat refers to the process of communicating, interacting and/or exchanging messages over the Internet. It involves two or more individuals that communicate through a chat-enabled service or software. Chat is also known as chatting, online chat or Internet chat.

GC: n CT: The check valve was designed with a drive shaft that connects the internal valve disk to an external pneumatic cylinder. The valve failed when a dowel pin designed to fasten the drive shaft to the disk sheared and a key designed to transfer torque from the drive

GC: n CT: Many energy sources commonly used by humans are forms of chemical energy. They are usually labeled “fuels.” The way to use the chemical energy in most fuels is by burning them, as we do with wood, natural gas, gasoline, coal, and others. When these fuels burn, they
