Description:
Flywheel energy storage (FES) can have energy fed in the rotational mass of a flywheel, store it as kinetic energy, and release out upon demand. It is a significant and attractive manner for energy futures 'sustainable'. The key factors of FES technology, such as flywheel material, geometry, length and its support system were described, which directly influence the amount of energy storage and flywheel specific energy. It is very suitable to such applications that involve many charge-discharge cycles and little in the way of long-term storage applications including International Space Station (ISS), Low Earth Orbits (LEO), overall efficiency improvement and pulse power transfer for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), Power Quality (PQ) events, and many stationary applications. Design margins, fault protection and containment were considered as three good approaches to solve safety issue. Vacuum enclosures or helium-air mixture gas condition were discussed for solution of windage energy loss. In short, with the aid of new technologies the cost of FES can be lowered and the FES will play a significant role in securing global energy sustainability.

Examination of grounded theory analysis with an application to hospitality research [An article from: International Journal of Hospitality Management] Overview

This digital document is a journal article from International Journal of Hospitality Management, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
The focus on qualitative research has unfortunately been mainly confined to methods of data collection, neglecting a more significant aspect, namely data analysis. Hospitality and tourism research is no exception to this observation. This is considered to be one of the main reasons why there has been a lower output of qualitative research in hospitality and tourism. In order to elevate the status of and, consequently, use of qualitative research more attention should be shown towards the issue of data analysis. Consequently, the current work aims to make a modest contribution in this direction by thoroughly examining one specific analytic strategy-that of grounded theory-with an application of it to a hospitality study.
