Nuclear Power Statistics According to the latest data of 2020, 440 nuclear power reactors are operable around the world. The combined capacity of electricity generation from these reactors is 390 GW. In addition to that, 55 nuclear reactors are under construction with 109 reactors planned for installation. Moreover, 329 nuclear reactors are under the proposition….
With the increase in global warming and running out of non-renewable resources, Wind Power is a major source of energy used to resolve all issues. The kinetic energy of wind is harnessed and transformed into electricity with the mechanism of the wind turbine. However, the speed required for the process is on average 25 km/h….
Nuclear Fission vs. Nuclear Fusion The first Nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1, was built by Enrico Fermi, in the year 1940. About 10% of electricity around the world is produced from 440 power reactors. As of 2018, Nuclear power is the second-largest source of low-carbon power, with 29% in total. From 2018 to 2019,…
Wind energy is one of the renewable energy as well as the cleanest form of energy. A wind power turbine is one such device that uses wind energy and changes it into electricity. A wind turbine has blades that use the kinetic flow of wind and turn it into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is…
Non-renewable energy is produced from sources that do not replenish as fast as it is used. These resources are decreasing rapidly and will run out in the future. Most non-renewable energy is from fossil fuels. Hundreds of millions of years ago, after plants and animals died they buried deep into the soil. The energy from…

What is Fossil Fuel? Fossil fuel is a source of energy which is produced by natural process. It is a byproduct of the decomposition of dead animals and plants from millions of years ago. The global fossil fuel consumption as per the year 2018, petroleum is at 34%, coal at 27%, and natural gas is…
What is Renewable Energy? Renewable energy is what we call clean energy. These energies are produced from natural sources or are processed, such that the sources are inexhaustible. For instance, sunlight and wind are natural and unlimited sources. Renewable energy is in high demand and of greater importance than ever. It accounts for more than…
Steam Heating System A steam heating system converts water into steam, in a boiler furnace. The steam then travels through pipes and into a radiator which produces heat. As a result, the heat warms the room. After the steam cool downs, it turns back into water and returns to the boiler. The cycle repeats itself….
Nuclear physics includes the study of atomic nuclei, their composition, and the interaction. Nuclear physics have much modern-day application and all with beneficial result. The nuclear physicist has developed countless methods to incorporate nuclear physics into our daily life. Also, the aim is to progress toward a more eco-friendly technology. The applications of nuclear physics,…
Natural gas is a product of the decomposition of organic matter. The organic matters undergo anaerobic conditions. The process occurred 150 million years ago and as a result the gas was trapped between rock’s porous systems. There are many limitations to the use of natural gas. For example: Natural gas is non-renewable source of energy….
