Energy prices are increasing all the time. Further worldwide supplies of fossil fuels are decreased. These supplies will be exhausted in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to find new energy sources. The direct transformation of solar energy into electrical energy through the use of photovoltaic cells is one of the possibilities. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the working principle of the photovoltaic system FVS 2001E that is located on an external wall of a building of Tomas Bata University in Zlín.
In celestial mechanics interactions of radiation and small bodies in Solar system can be classified as scattering, absorption, radiation drag and thermal emission. The final one, in particular, induces important secular changes of orbits and rotation states of asteroids and meteoroids, as supported by a number of astronomical observations., Miroslav Brož., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
In this brief communication we provide an estimate of the part of the incident solar energy used for oxygen evolution as well as the time, in years, needed for the generation of the present amount of molecular oxygen in the biosphere by photosynthesis on land and in the ocean. We find this to be ~3,000 yr. We also find that the ocean produces 22% more oxygen than the land surface., A. Yu. Borisov, L. O. Björn., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
V tomto příspěvku se budeme zabývat úlohami fyzikální olympiády zaměřenými na sluneční záření dopadající na povrch Země, které lze považovat za součást kosmického záření. Úloh s touto tematikou nalezneme ve fyzikální olympiádě na různých úrovních celou řadu, my zde představíme dvě teoretické úlohy. První z nich byla zadána na 46. mezinárodní fyzikální olympiádě (MFO) v Indii v roce 2015. I druhá úloha je ze 46. ročníku, ale tentokrát slovenské fyzikální olympiády. Tento ročník proběhl již ve školním roce 2004/05. and Filip Studnička, Ľubomír Konrád, Jan Kříž, Bohumil Vybíral.
This paper focuses on the impact of changes in temperature on one bay of St Vitus’ Cathedral in Prague Castle. The objective of the study is to simulate as correctly as possible the distribution of temperatures in the structure, and then to compute the thermal dilatation movements. Theoretical simulation of dilatation movements involves simulating the temperatures in the structure and then computing the displacements. Insolation and changes in air temperature around the structure are included in the temperature simulation. The computed temperature fields are used as a loading for computing the forces and deformations of one bay of St Vitus’ Cathedral. The theoretical deformation values obtained by means of the 3-D finite element model were compared with the measurements. The computed surface temperatures were also confronted with the surface temperatures measured in the interior and on the exterior of the cathedral. The results obtained from the simulations correspond well with the measured surface temperatures and deformations., Pavel Beran, Jiří Máca and Petr Fajman., and Obsahuje bibliografii
