What College Major Would Be Best For A Future Career In Developing Alternative Energy Sources?
Which major would be best for a job in cleantech companies or any other alternative energy businesses. I would guess some sort of engineering but I don’t specifically know which type of engineering. Thanks.
Are These Answers To My Earth Science Lab Report Good?
3) When condensation occurs, what type of energy is released?
During condensation thermal, or heat, energy is released. During condensation, the water must release some of its energy in order to become a liquid. The kinetic energy of the gas is higher than that of the liquid. Therefore, when the gas is changing to a liquid, it must release energy so that the molecules can move closer together and become a liquid. During condensation, for every 1 gram of water vapor, 540 calories of heat energy will be released.
4) How is this energy returned into the atmosphere in the form of potential energy?
It is returned as kinetic energy when the water once again evaporates. When the water evaporates, it must gain thermal energy in order to be able to change into a liquid. As soon as it turns into water vapor, it now has 540 calories of energy stored. This stored energy has the potential to be released, as soon as the energy turns into water vapor.
