In a decentralized energy generation system, analyze how solar
thermal energy can contribute to environment and social
sustainability? To add value to your answer, you may use any solar
thermal energy application or any other practical use that you
witnessed somewhere (even a case study).
(a) If you want to construct a wind turbine in a location where taller structures are prohibited, which type of wind turbine you will prefer? Give any two reasons for your preference. Write any three advantages (other than those mentioned in reasons) and three disadvantages of that design.
(b) Wind energy is a dynamic form of solar energy. Explain, how?
Every so often, someone claims to have built a machine that can generate energy perpetually from nothing. Why isn't this possible according to the known laws of nature? Why do you think claims of perpetual motion machines sometimes receive substantial media attention?

Acceptable payback times depend upon the business or philosophy one has. (For some industries, a payback period is as small as two years.) Suppose you wish to install the extra insulation. If energy cost $1.00 per million joules and the insulation was $4.00 per square meter, then calculate the simple payback time. Take the average for the 120 day heating season to be 15.0C.arrow_forwardRub your hands together vigorously. What happens?
