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.

Abstract: Here, a new method is proposed to quantitatively evaluate the eddy current distribution induced by different exciting coils of an eddy current probe. Probability of energy allocation of a vector field is modeled via conservation of energy and imitating the wave function in quantum mechanics. The idea of quantization and the principle of circuit sampling is utilized to discretize the s...

A campus based smart micro grid model that combined power and heat is presented. In this study, optimal scheduling of distributed generations inside these smart micro grids is determined based on demand forecasting, solar power forecasting and wind power forecasting by artificial neural network (ANN). The proposed model is then evaluated through economical efficiency, environment efficiency and...

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...

Normalization of the scattering phase function is applied to the transient discrete ordinates method for ultrafast radiative transfer analysis in a turbid medium subject to a normal collimated incidence. Previously, the authors have developed a normalization technique which accurately conserves both scattered energy and phase function asymmetry factor after directional discretization for the He...

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...

Energy conservation is a critical issue in battery operated systems. Energy consumption reduction of portable embedded systems is essential for increasing the battery life, enabling better system usefulness. One of the promising techniques of energy consumption reduction is Dynamic Voltage and Frequency (DVFS). In this paper, a Dynamic Frequency Scaling (DFS) method is used to reduce the energy...

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...
