Studies have shown that students difficulties in explaining concepts related to energy. Here, we report on an activity which analyze three similar energy scenarios, examining their own data taken with the aid of Arduino microcontroller. In addition learning about energy, gain electronic skills, programming and analysis skills through these exercises.

Energy Conservation: Heat Transfer Design Considerations Using Thermodynamic Principles M. Minnucci, J. Ni, A. Nikolova, L. Theodore Department of Chemical Engineering Manhattan College Abstract Environmental concerns involving conservation of energy issues gained increasing prominence during and immediately after the OPEC oil embargo of 1973. In addition, global population growth has led to an...

We present a generalized account of how one might achieve energy conservation violation with quantum coherence effects. The general setup involves a violation of energy conservation by means of a change to the preparation of a coherent quantum mechanical effect which causes a change to the probability distribution of the measurable statistics of an observable. We also present a simple theoretic...

The course, technical progresses, and achievements of energy conservation of China steel industry (CSI) during 1980-2010 were summarized. Then, the paper adopted e-p method to analyze the variation law and influencing factors of energy consumptions of large- and medium-scale steel plants within different stages. It is pointed out that energy consumption per ton of crude steel has been almost on...

the current study presents a new analytical method for buckling analysis of circular plates with constant thickness and poisson’s ratio, made of functionally graded material subjected to radial load. governing equations are based on energy method for thin plates. the boundary conditions of the plate are assumed to be simply supported and clamped. the stability equations were obtained by using c...

The living standard of Chinese residents greatly improved during China's current economic development. However, residential building energy consumption has also grown quickly. Therefore, it is critical to carry out building energy conservation in residential premises to ensure both building comfort and controlled energy consumption. Digital technology, an effective tool, could help designers co...

OF THE DISSERTATION Energy Conservation for Server Systems by EDUARDO SOUZA DE ALBUQUERQUE PINHEIRO Dissertation Director: Ricardo Bianchini To date, energy consumption has only been a concern for mobile and embedded devices due to battery lifetime and heat dissipation concerns. In this thesis we make the case for energy conservation for server systems. We describe in details the current mechan...

Technological analyses show that large potentials for energy conservation exist at the sectoral level. Moreover, a great part of these potentials seems economically attractive, but are not undertaken by industry. This paper provides a theoretical framework in which the energy conservation decision on the firm level plays a central role. It is argued that from an entrepreneurs point of view many...
