Make UR City Green



Green space is essential to the health of a city and its people.With 180,000 people moving to the world's cities every day, 75 percent of the global population is expected to be living urban lives by 2050. That concentration makes cities massive contributors to overall levels of pollution and CO2 emissions, but also provides the opportunity to enact changes that can have broad and deep impact.
Air quality in a city is a sure indicator how green it is the life in that city. It is logical that a city filled with motorized vehicle, a large number of people and a very rich small traditional industry is bound to have a bad air quality.Due to the bad air quality the Colder places get affected most.


Now a days the issue of developing the cities is more sited and for this we are cutting the trees.We promise to plant a tree on the place of cutting tree and do so but do not take care after plantation.And the results are less greenery, polluted air, excess of CO2.It also results less rain and some times Acid Rain is also seen.These are the worse effects of cutting trees.
A Green City attracts the tourists and provide a source of income to the people living there.
A green city is finally evaluated by the quality of life, health, social responsibility, environmental conscious behavior and especially the amount of disturbance the human life causes to the natural environment.


There are some ideas to make city Green.
1. Develop more and more Gardens (Parks) in the city and maintain them.Gardens are the Heart of any city.People come and feel the fresh air and relax their mind and body.


2.Efficient Public Transportation- Use public transportation as maximum as possible or share a single vehicle if some persons are going to same place.Metro Trains are the best example of public transportation which make the way convenient.It will result less air pollution.
For short distances we can use bicycles on the place of bikes.


3.Make Rooftops Green


4.Recycling of cans, bottles, electronics equipments and food wastes


5.Use Smart Energy Resources- Use Renewable energy resources like Solar Panels to make environment clean.


6.Start Companying to Aware the people


We only think about these things, make ideas but could not complete them.Now it's time to spread awareness and give a "Shape to UR Ideas".

Install Solar Panel at Your Home

Need of Installation :-
As we all know very well that the Primary Resources (Coal,Oil) of energy are limited and we have Natural Resources (Sun,Wind) to generate energy,we need to install the Solar Panels.As the Sun is the biggest power supplier to the Earth,we should use its power to generate electricity.

Advantages and Benefits :-
Without electricity a human life can't be imagine.We all are dependent on Govt. or private companies for our basic need.But if we install this solar panel at our homes,we will not be dependent anymore.We can use electricity according to our need.Why should we pay any electricity bill with lot of taxes employed by govt?
It is the best advantage of solar panel.No electricity cut and can use without any interruption.

Solar Panel Installation Tips :-

Solar Panels are typically installed on rooftops, building tops, or stand-alone facilities. It is vital to install your solar panel so that it gets the most direct sun exposure.Solar Panels perform at its maximum capacity when placed in direct sunlight.Try to remove all obstacles which may block sunlight directly from solar panel.

Installation Cost :-
Initial cost is high and vary according to the load used in home.But it promises to pay back.
Initially 2 Photo-voltaic solar plates and batteries are required and it costs about 30,000-40,000 INR.

Just "Shape UR Ideas" and install it to your homes.

Structure and Working of a Thermal Power Plant


The different sections of a Thermal Power Plant:-
1. Coal Handling Plant
2. Pulverising Unit
3. Boiler
4. Turbine
5. Generator
6. Chimney
7. Water Treatment Plant
8. Transformer
9. Control Room

Coal Handling Plant:-  
Raw coal via trains ----> Wagon Trippler ----> Vibrators ----> Crush house (6mm*6mm) ----> Stock Yard
                                                        Boilers <---- Coal mills <----- Raw coal feeder <---- Bunkers <--|


Pulverising Unit:-



In modern Thermal Plants coal is Pulverised i.e. ground to dust like size and carried to the Furnace in a steam of hot air.



Boiler:-
Boiler is a place the water is being converted into steam with burning of coal.

Turbine:-
Turbine is a machine in which a shaft is rotated steadily by the impact or reaction of current or steam of working substance.
It convert the PE or KE of the substance into Mechanical Energy by the virtue of dynamic action of working substance.

Generator:-
Generator is a machine which converts mechanical energy into electrical.

Economiser:-
Flue gases coming out of the boiler carries a lot of heat.An Economiser extracts some part of heat from these flue gases and transfer it to the boiling water and thus improves the efficiency of plant.

Cooling Tower:-
A cooling tower has a reservoir at the bottom for the storage of cooled water.Warm water is feed from the top and flows to the bottom.The falling water loose its heat and get cooled.

Water Treatment Plant:-
The principle problem of high pressure boilers are corrosion and steam impurities.To remove these impurities water treatment plants are used.

Control Room:-
In control room various controls are provided simultaneously various measurements are made and relays are provided.Automatic control is provided for combustion,for feed water regulation and reheat temp.

Energy Resources

"Energy Resources", the simple way of getting energy by which we generate electrical power.
There are number of energy resources available.Some are listed here-


1.Primary Resources
    1.1 Fossil fuels
    1.2 Oil
    1.3 Coal
    1.4 Nuclear Power
2.Renewable Resources
    2.1 Hydropower
    2.2 Biomass and Biofuels
    2.3 Solar Power
    2.4 Wind Power
    2.5 Geothermal

-> Sun is the biggest energy resource for Earth.
-> Primary resources are limited but Renewable resources can be used in an unlimited way.
Most of the electrical energy is generated by Primary Resources.
Thermal Power Plants use the Primary Resources.The energy is generated in Thermal Power Plants by burning the coal and oil.

Nuclear Power:- Nuclear power is generated using Uranium.It produces about 11% of the world's energy need.It produce a huge amount of energy using less amount of fuel.It is a pollution free process.

HydroPower:- In HydroPower the running water is used for the generation of electricity.

Biomass and Biofuels:- Boifuels include the fuel made from living goods or their wastes like Biodiesel, Bioethanol.


Solar Power:- The energy generated by the light of Sun is called Solar Power.The Sun is 150 million kilometers far from Earth and the biggest energy resource for Earth.The electricity from Sun is generated by
using Solar Panels.

Wind Power:- In this the power of wind is used.In this the Turbine is rotated by the blowing wind and energy is generated.

Geothermal:- In Geothermal Power the heat of Earth is used for the generation of energy.The center of Earth is 6000 degrees Celsius hot enough to melt the rock and few kilometers down the temperature increases one degree per 30-50 meters go down.

There is one more type of energy resource called Tidal Power.
In this the power of Tides is used.Tide moves twice in a day and carry huge amount of water.The barrages are used to store the water and then it is used to generate the energy.
