Unified Technical Concepts. Module 9: Energy Convertors.
Technical Education Research Center, Waco, TX.
This concept module on energy convertors is one of thirteen modules that provide a flexible, laboratory-based physics instructional package designed to meet the specialized needs of students in two-year, postsecondary technical schools. Each of the thirteen concept modules discusses a single physics concept and how it is applied to each energy system. This module discusses (1) a variety of energy convertors, important in the conversion and application of energy, and (2) the efficiency of the individual energy convertors and systems. Included with the concept module are thirteen application modules that discuss a specific application of a single concept in a single energy system, and contain a student laboratory exercise. Laboratory modules included are Turbines, Fluid Pumps, Fans and Blowers, Wind Power, Vacuum Pumps, Electric Generators, Alternators, Electric Motors, Solenoids and Relays, Photovoltaic Materials, Boilers, Thermoelectric Generators, and Solar Collectors.
