Alternative Heating Opportunities For Heating Greenhouses 1234306066149163 2zemix
This document discusses alternative heating options for greenhouses. It begins by explaining how natural gas is currently the most common fuel used for greenhouse heating, providing over 70-85% of needed heat. It then explores alternative fossil fuels like coal, wood, propane, and butane. The bulk of the document focuses on biofuels, describing various types like vegetable oil, biodiesel, bioalcohols, biogas, syngas, and solid biofuels. It also discusses issues with expanding biofuel usage and examples of wood waste and solar energy storage systems for greenhouse heating.
Solar PV in Agriculture: on your roofs and in your fields? Paul Cottington (NFU)Farming Futures
The National Farmers Union (NFU) champions British farming. The document discusses the NFU's support for solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in agriculture. It notes that farmers are well-placed to capture renewable energy sources like solar PV while continuing food production. The South West of England is well-suited for solar PV due to incentives, sunshine hours, and solar irradiation levels. The NFU provides guidance to farmers on implementing solar PV projects, addressing scale, energy efficiency, and ensuring projects are compatible with agricultural operations and acceptable to neighbors.

Modal Analysis of Fibre Reinforced Composite Beams with a Transverse Crack U...IJMER
In many structures like high speed machineries, aircrafts and light weight structures
composite beams and beam like structures are main constituent elements. Cracks induced in these
structural elements cause serious failure and monitoring of these cracks is essential. The presence of
these cracks influences the dynamic characteristics of the structural elements. Hence the changes in
natural frequencies and mode shapes have been the subject of interest of many investigations. In the
present work two Fiber- Reinforced Plastic (FRP) materials, Graphite Fibre Reinforced Polyamide
and E-Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer have been selected as beam materials for modal analysis using
ANSYS 13.0. The analysis is carried out for these two beams in different ways. Initially the analysis is
carried out for different orientation of fibres for two beams. Later the effect of dimensions is analyzed
by varying one dimension of the beam at a time by keeping the other two constant. In the next step the
analysis is performed for constant dimensions of each beam for same layer orientation and constant
volume fraction of fibre by introducing transverse cracks of different depths at various positions along
the length of the beam. The results obtained are analyzed.
Latest technologies for harnessing vietnam sun powerTuong Do
The document summarizes the presentation "Latest Technologies for Harnessing Vietnam Solar Power" given at the Power Industry Conference in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam from December 5-6, 2012. The presentation discusses solar PV development globally and in Vietnam, the potential for solar power in Vietnam, and the various solar PV technologies available. It notes that cumulative solar installation in Vietnam is less than 5MWp and is dominated by crystalline silicon technologies. Emerging thin film and concentrating photovoltaic technologies are also discussed as alternatives with the potential for further cost reductions.
Alternative Heating Opportunities For Heating GreenhousesSteven Newman
This document discusses alternative heating options for greenhouses including natural gas, propane, various fuel oils, wood, coal, and alternative fuels like biodiesel. It also discusses using solar energy for heating through solar panels, earth sheltering, and thermal energy storage. Methods to improve insulation like polyethylene film, rigid board insulation, and automated heat curtains are presented along with preliminary results showing that heat curtains significantly reduce heating needs.
This document discusses greenhouse technology and its benefits. It provides details on the types of greenhouse structures, covering materials, principles of protective cultivation, advantages of greenhouse cultivation, crops grown, and performance of different greenhouse structures in Ladakh. Greenhouse technology provides protection from extreme temperatures and insects/diseases, and improves soil health, photosynthesis, and productivity. The document outlines greenhouse structures tested in Ladakh, including polycarbonate greenhouses, polyenches, trenches, and fiberglass structures, and their benefits for growing crops year-round.

Rice straw mulching and nitrogen requirement to improve productivity of no-ti...Joanna Hicks
1) The document discusses experiments on using rice straw mulching to improve productivity of no-till wheat grown after rice in Bangladesh.
2) Short-term rice straw mulching for 20 days after sowing was found to be as effective as retaining straw mulch, in conserving soil moisture, reducing weeds, improving nitrogen uptake and wheat root growth.
3) Both short-term mulching and retaining straw mulch led to higher wheat yields compared to no mulch. The optimum nitrogen level for highest yields was found to be 115-122 kg/ha depending on mulch treatment.
An atmospheric water harvester or atmospheric water generator (AWG) is a electricity-powered device that uses the dehumidification principle to make drinking water out of the moisture in the air.
There is abundant fresh water in the air according to
the test. Each cube air has 5qram fresh water when the
relative humidity is 50%.It can’t be used up and can fully
satisfy people’s request of drinking water.
The technology of taking out water from the air is used
for dealing with the drinking water problems of some
places where are short of fresh water or in water pollution.
Greenhouses provide a controlled environment for crop growth. They allow sunlight to enter while protecting crops from outside environmental factors like cold, heat, and rain. This controlled environment allows for higher crop yields year-round. Greenhouse technologies regulate temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and protect from pests and diseases. Components include the structural framework, covering materials, and environmental control systems.
Protected cultivation practices involve controlling the microclimate around plants for optimal growth. In Haryana State, India, polygreenhouses, net houses, and other protected structures are commonly used. Polyhouse cultivation has increased production of vegetables and extended the growing season. Greenhouses allow precise control of the environment to achieve high yields. They are classified based on technology level as low-cost, medium-tech, or high-tech depending on the automatic controls. Greenhouse design and components like irrigation systems also influence their effectiveness for crop production.
Fog Computing is a paradigm that extends Cloud computing and services to the edge of the network. Similar to Cloud, Fog provides data, compute, storage, and application services to end-users. The motivation of Fog computing lies in a series of real scenarios, such as Smart Grid, smart traffic lights in vehicular networks and software defined networks.
This document discusses biomass energy technologies, including biomass briquetting. It defines biomass as any material of plant or animal origin used for energy production. It then explains that the primary conversion techniques for biomass are physical, chemical, biochemical and thermochemical processes. Specifically, it focuses on biomass briquetting as a physical conversion process that densifies biomass materials into compact briquettes to improve their fuel characteristics and ease transportation and storage. The key factors that affect the briquetting process are temperature, pressure, moisture content, size of materials and binders used.
