        One of the most demandable sources in the world is electricity. This electricity is generated by numerous power plants across the world. These power plants use various sources to generate electricity. These sources are classified as conventional and non-conventional sources. Conventional source uses fossil fuels to generate electricity whereas non-conventional uses renewable sources like sun, wind, and water to generate electricity. Conventional sources offer more efficiency than non-conventional sources. One of the best conventional sources, that satisfy’s the 60% of the world’s needs is, the coal-based thermal power plant.   On our previous topic, we have seen about the construction and operation of the coal-based thermal power plant. Please visit the article for a detailed explanation of the coal-based thermal power plant. https://sciencetopic03.blogspot.com/2021/10/how-thermal-power-plant-works-coal-based.html      The...

        Time is the leader of the universe. It describes everything. This time, makes us to know our universe better. From the big bang theory to Einstein’s relativity and to all scientific researches depends upon time. Such a time, now rest in our walls and wrist, as clocks and watches. Clocks and watches are ingenious pieces of invention. Without knowing the time we will not know when we are starting and where we are ending. So such a device marks a remarkable place in our life.      There are various types of clocks and watches used in human history, namely, gravity clocks (pendulum clocks), mechanical watches, automatic watches, quartz watches, digital watches, and smart watches. Except for the pendulum, mechanical, automatic watches and all other watches share the common principle of working. Only the output displayed will be varied. We will take an overview of everything and take a deep look over the quartz watches which are widely used n...

      Air circulation is one of the prominent features of the Earth. It is the type of circulation that happens when there is an uneven distribution of temperature. For example, when there is more heat in one place and more cold in another place, there will be movement of air between these two places to balance the heat. This is the same principle as the process of wind formation, but on a larger scale. Please visit my previous article to know more about the formation of the wind. https://sciencetopic03.blogspot.com/2021/10/what-causes-winds-science-behind.html   Pressure difference      Global air circulation is the movement of a large mass of air over the earth, to satisfy the Earth’s temperature. This major movement of air is mainly described by the concepts of high-pressure and low-pressure. A high-pressure zone is a type of zone, where a huge mass of air settles down on the earth’s surface, due to the presence of heavy moisture; whereas a low-pre...
