Their vehicles are natural resource independent, meaning they are powered by electricity. Tesla vehicles use electric energy, and provide maximum performance and handling. Tesla is a supercharge automobile with unbelievable power train and efficiency.
Renewable is considered by many around the world the best source of energy because is always available. Green energy uses the earth’s elements to create its power; the sun, water, and wind are the main sources to produce green energy. Alternative energy is an interesting topic and an interesting way to generate electricity without the using our traditional sources such as: fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas. These are the three kinds of fossil fuels that we have mostly depended on for our energy needs, from home heating and electricity to fuel for our automobiles. The demand for these fuels is very high among Americans and the rest of the world.
We have had many gas engines and most of our tractors are diesel so i have a bigger horizon on them, however working for our company gives me a chance to work on electric motors so i have some background info and knowledge on them. Today in our modern world Diesel is the leading engine being used because they produce more power. They are used in the trucking business to haul and move things from place to place. They are also used for the big machinery involved in construction and in agricultural equipment. Gas engines have been around for about as long as diesel engines but they are just a little younger.
the second cause of global climate change is fluorocarbons. Fluorocarbons are man-made chemicals used in refrigerants, solvents, and anesthetics. These chemicals contribute to the greenhouse effect, warming the Earth. The amount of these gases in the atmosphere and their atmospheric concentration is lower than carbon dioxide but, they are a lot more potent. Even though the use of fluorocarbons has been phased out, they still exist inside of older equipment.
These thermal power plants are run on fossil fuels (mostly coal) and are responsible for the emission of huge amounts of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

3.1 Introduction The organic rankine cycle transforms the waste thermal energy into mechanical energy in tern generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Important consideration in the organic rankine cycle is the availability of waste heat sources. Generally waste heat sources from the industrial waste heat by the flue gases or thermal oil, biomass combustion heat, solar energy heat, ocean thermal energy, geothermal energy and so on. In this chapter most developed applications of organic rankine cycle are reported and analyzed. Below figure 3.1 shows the Schematic diagram Simple organic rankine cycle using different types of heat input to the organic rankine cycle.
This lab shows how materials react to heat energy inputs and how far this energy spreads along the substance relative to the energy lost, along with allowing us to calculate the thermal conductivity. Thermodynamics are an essential part of the functioning of engines, therefore the automotive industry relies on the understanding and the application of thermodynamics. Some motorcycles still use air cooling however most automobiles now use form of liquid cooling. A car radiator is a good example of a heat sink through use of a coolant. Coolant flows around the engine once the engine has heated up to is optimum temperature, taking heat from the engine.
Ability to develop vehicles completely in house including the sub-assemblies required 5. Their current platform developed for Model S has the ability to be used for their future crossover model or any other model they envision Weakness: 1.Since they fully develop the vehicles including their sub-assemblies this leads to higher costs of production as economies of scale are not achieved 2.The prices of their products are higher than their competitors who sell combustion engine powered vehicles Opportunity: 1. The growing support by governments across the globe for environmentally friendly vehicles in form of exemptions from duties & other support 2.Supports the Mercedes’ Smart car, which can lead to learning which will help them with their passenger cars which they plan to launch in near future 3.Improvements in the quality control processes can reduce these costs drastically Threats: 1.Tesla wants to be able to produce, distribute & sell its cars to average which seems difficult to achieve due to their current business model 2. Their strategy for pricing (skimming) has not been used so far in the auto industry 3. They are currently competing against a technology which has been in use for over hundred years i.e.
Exothermic reactions can be represented in a chemical equation as follows: reactants products + energy Diagram depicting an exothermic reaction: Two examples of exothermic reactions and how they influence and aid our lives will be displayed below * Combustion: Combustion or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant. This reaction causes the production of heat and a conversion of chemicals. The reason we burn fuels for energy would be because the chemical changes that take place during the reaction release huge amounts of energy. An example that occurs in everyday life would be the internal combustion engines found in our motor-vehicles and motor-cycles. The combustion of gasoline (fuel) and oxygen, results in the engine turning and ultimately the vehicle moving.
