Zeroth Law of thermodynamics is very simple to understand. It says that when two bodies are separately in thermal equilibruim with a third body, then the two bodies are also in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law has been used as the basis for measurement of temperature.
Humans beings consider themselves as highly creative people since they have carried out most of the developments in the present day world. However, for the most basic needs we are still entirely dependent on nature. Let’s see how first law of thermodynamics mocks all our claims of creation of work.
The well known fact that it requires lots of efforts to go against the nature has been highlighted in second law of thermodynamics. It states that heat flows from body of high temperature to the body of low temperature. You need external work to move the heat in opposite direction.
Since early days mankind has been utilizing energy in various forms and knowingly or unknowingly converting it from one form to the other. Thermodynamics is the branch of science and important subject of Mechanical Engineering which studies conversion of energy from one form to the other.
We know that power can be generated from tidal energy using conventional technology using dam type structures or from non-conventional procedures which utilize special turbines. Here is one such equipment namely the helical turbine.
Space exploration is a major leap of mankind in it’s quest for identity, whether or not there are also human beings exist in outer space and how is our earth compared to other planets. Energy source is a major issue in space exploration and solar energy plays a key role.
The dream of generating power from the waves on a commercial scale, that man had wished to be fulfilled for ages got materialized in the form of Rance tidal power plant when it got operational little more than four decades ago.
A buoy is used to refer to a floating device on the surface of water which can have several different purposes. It can be either fixed to the floor of the water body or free to move around and can be used for navigation, weather prediction, power generation and so on.
Tidal power plants are not very commonly found because of various requirements for their location which may not be easily fulfilled. Find out about the benefits and disadvantages of these plants.
Tight competition exists in the semiconductor industry where manufacturers squeeze their schedules to research, develop and produce new products in order to keep-up with their competitors. Here are some potential solutions for a competitive HVAC semiconductor cleanroom.
