Energy efficiency

Energy Balance: Due to my results, I am in negative energy balance. My average caloric intake was 736. According to my basal metabolic rate (BMR), I burn 1,490 calories. My estimated caloric need is 2,634.2 calories. That puts me at -1898 kcals for energy balance. This semester I have had bad anxiety and panic attacks. I have had a decreased appetite all semester, where I have been only able to eat about one meal a day. That is the reason I am in negative energy balance. I understand that if I continue

Usually when one thinks of the word achievement the image of an athlete holding a golden medal comes to mind, a valedictorian holding their crisp diploma, or maybe even man’s first step on the moon. These are great moments of success after all and without a doubt have reason to be celebrated. However, an achievement is still an achievement no matter how small. To achieve is to accomplish something that you couldn’t do before or put your best effort into. Whether, it be as simple as getting out of

If you own a commercial property that has a flat roof, your options for a roofing material are limited. However, other styles of architecture lend themselves to many of the same roofing materials used on homes, but the material chosen for a commercial roof needs to be evaluated using different criteria than you would use when choosing material for your home. Fortunately, it is not all that difficult to choose the perfect material if you follow these helpful tips. (-- removed HTML --) Choose a Material

Nuclear Power by Rafael Noriega There have been many ideas of how we can produce enough energy for the population without polluting the Earth. People have tried many different ways to collect energy. Some of those ways are: fossil fuels, solar power, geothermal power, and hydroelectric. Here is how nuclear energy works, pros, cons and some facts about nuclear energy. Nuclear power works by a process called fission. The type of fission used in most reactors is where a neutron collides with

In the article by Krissy Brady, she explains the many different foods that help boost your metabolism and your overall health. Metabolism is how quick you digest the food, you consume. In paragraph one, Krissy states that the current speed of your metabolism is mainly based on your genetics. She also states that you may improve your metabolism by eating certain foods, and also by giving your body a bit of motivation, to a healthy metabolism. As you read on, Krissy lists 11 different foods that helps

Fission, the Energy of the Future Nuclear fission and just nuclear power in general is a hot topic, with tons and tons of people debating about about whether nuclear power is good or bad. When you discover that nuclear power is not a horrible atomic weapon, you can really see the good in it. Nuclear fission energy is a great alternative energy, because it is efficient and safe in all standards. Process of Nuclear Fission According to U.S Energy Information Administration, nuclear energy comes from

The main focus of this experiment was to see if different type of colours and paint affect the amount of heat absorption in a can. This was achieved by attaining four cans; the four cans were spray painted with two different colours and paint: Matte black, glossy black, matte white and glossy white. The four cans were tested to see which can would have the most heat absorption after the duration of ten minutes. It was hypothesised that the black coloured cans would have the most absorption of

Environments where sediments are elated and deposited quickly are high energy environments like ocean shores, or rushing rivers. Eco systems where small particles of sediments are often deposited in low energy areas. This is found in regions where there are deep lakes or swamps. Landforms shaped by erosion are tall, jagged structures with grazes in layers of rock and landforms produced by

successfully converted the energy from the combustion of the chip into heat to increase the temperature of the water. By measuring the temperature in the water from the beginning to the end and converting it into joules to see how much energy the water captured, we were able to complete the experiment. Literature review Energy is a very important property, it can only be conserved. Energy can’t be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred between objects. Kinetic energy is in the form of motion

Deep in the sun's core, nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen to helium, which generates energy. Particles of light called photons carry this energy through the sun's spherical shell, called the radiative zone, to the top layer of the solar interior, the convection zone. There, boiling motions of gases (like in a lava lamp) transfer the energy to the surface. This journey takes more than a million years. The sun's surface, or atmosphere, is divided into three regions: the photosphere, the chromosphere
