What is the difference between internal heat generation and heat transfer in any direction. Thank you
energy can be conserved when your home heating/cooling system works less during the heating and cooling seasons. in fact/ a one degree celsius difference in your thermostat setting can reduce energy consumption by up to 5%
The Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)
system in Hawali utilizes the surface water and
deep water as thermal energy reservoirs. Assume
the ocean temperature at the surface to be 20 "C
and at some depth to be 6 "C
