In order to reduce the United States’ dependence on fossil-fuel energy resources, alternate sources of renewable must be investigated in order to reduce the country’s emission of greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to global warming. At the recent COP21 Climate Summit in Paris, the United States committed to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28 percent below its 2005 level. This includes reductions in methane, carbon dioxide, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, nitrogen trifluoride and nitrous oxide, all of which contribute to global warming . In order to achieve these targets, the United States will need to employ alternative sources ...

The following were the main objectives of this experiment:

Methodology The following apparatus were used in this experiment: - Copper-water heat pipe - Hot plate - Thermocouple (3) - Ring stand with clamps (2) - Solid copper wire - Glass beaker (2) - Multichannel digital thermometer - Vernier caliper Figure 1 below shows the illustration of copper-water heat pipe: According to Fig. 1, The three main components of a heat pipe are the working fluid, vacuum tight containment vessel and the capillary/wick vessel. The operation of these three elements ensures the efficient and even heat transfer between heat ...

The main objective of this experiment was to measure the temperature difference across a heat pipe and a solid conductor of the same material and size and under the same thermal conditions. Secondly, to use the data obtained herein to determine an effective thermal conductivity of the heat pipe.

Sun plays crucial role in the life of the Earth. The entire organic world of our planet is obliged to the Sun for its existence. It is not only the source of light and heat, but also the original source of many other types of energy (oil, coal, water, wind). Since people appeared on the Earth, they began using the sun's energy. According to archaeological data, it is known that housing preference was given to quiet places, closed from the cold winds and open to the sun's rays. Perhaps the earliest known solar system can be considered the ...

Abstract

This paper adequately and sufficiently dwells into the concept and usage of cooling systems in computers. It talks about the advents which have been made in the cooling technology right from the very starting to the modern times. It discusses and elaborates on the different kinds and types of cooling systems available and their respective advantages and potential, if any, disadvantages.

Cooling Systems in Computers

According to Moore’s Law the number of transistors on a chip will double approximately every two years. Since 1965 this law has stood the test of the times and consequently the performances of computers have increased while their ...

Building own personal computer rather than buying an already built PC is better because, with this option, one is able to get a computer that suits the needs they have. It will also be a lot easier to do the upgrading of the PC in the times to come because the owner understands the machine well. Another reason for this option is that it saves money when opting it build own machine when compared to purchasing something that is already built. Getting personal computers that have already been built is expensive as the sellers include the cost of assembling the computer. ...
