Project Specifications Project Title: Variable Pitch Constant Rotational Speed Wind Turbine Project Aims This project can be divided into 3 three parts. The first part is to develop a variable pitch propeller. Then second and the main aim of this project is to design a control mechanism by which the propellers would rotate at a constant speed‚ at varying wind speeds by adjusting their pitch. This would be achieved by using wind sensors (anemometer) and a microcontroller. The sensors would

Figure (2-3): Schematic Diagram of a Micro-Turbine Advantages: •Micro turbine unit costs around $1500 to $2500 per installed kW. That could lead to niche applications in areas with high-energy costs for power quality‚ peak shaving or replacement energy. They can run on a variety of fuels‚ including natural gas‚ propane‚ and fuel oil. • The other advantages over other types of DG technologies are a small number of moving parts‚ compact size‚ lightweight‚ good efficiencies in co-generation‚ low

Electricity from Natural Gas Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed when layers of buried plants and animals are exposed to intense heat and pressure over thousands of years. The energy that the plants and animals originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of carbon in natural gas. Natural gas is combusted to generate electricity‚ enabling this stored energy to be transformed into usable power. Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource because it cannot be replenished on a human time frame

Gas exchange is the movement of respiratory gases across a membrane. It is the delivery of oxygen to the body‚ and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the body .The reason why gas exchange takes place because oxygen is one of the most essential requirements of life‚ without which organisms on Earth would not survive. Living organisms generate energy from food through the process of respiration. This allows humans and other organisms to perform their daily tasks. Oxygen is used in mitochondria

energy. In its simplest form it consists of steam generation equipment (boiler or nuclear reactor) and a turbine driving an electrical generator. The energy sources available in the world include coal‚ oil‚ gas‚ nuclear‚ hydroelectric‚ wind‚ solar‚ refuse-based and biomass. We can broadly categorize power plants into the following classes. I. Thermal Fossil Coal Oil Gas Nuclear II. Hydro III. Wind IV. Solar V. Refuse/Waste The design of the fossil fuel plants

Gas Chromatography Purpose: The purpose of the gas chromatography lab is to find out how different substances interact with the surface of a solid. Chromatography is a separation technique that depends on the relative distribution of the components of a mixture between a mobile phase and a solid stationary phase. Chromatography measures the tendency of a substance to interact with the surface of a solid or to remain in a mobile phase. When doing a chromatography lab the mobile phase has to
Premium Gas chromatography Chromatography Gas
Gas chromatography (GC) is a chromatography technique where the separation of individual components (analytes) from a sample relies on their differing distribution between a mobile and stationary phase. The mobile phase carries the analytes through the stationary phase. In GC‚ it’s an inert gas (usually helium or nitrogen). The gas must be inert‚ so it won’t react with the sample to give a false reading. The stationary phase is a substance fixed in place to which the sample adsorbs because
