【實用教育app】REaCTOR: Biomass|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Biomass is an Open Educational Resource created by FusedWorks - http://www.fusedworks.com team from Doncaster College - http://www.don.ac.uk. Within the JISC - http://www.jisc.ac.uk/ - funded project ‘Renewable, Environmental and Construction Technology Open Resource – REaCTOR, this application has been created alongside 7 others:

* Renewable comparison

* Photovoltaics

* Solar thermal

* Heat pumps

* Rainwater harvesting

* Greywater re-use

* Biomass

* Wind energy

The resources are available on stand-alone platforms and on mobile devices. Each resource is free to use and can be used as teaching and learning support material.

The Biomass resource looks at domestic biomass heating systems with a focus on wood-burning stoves and pellet boilers. The mechanics of combustion in each are examined with 3D models. The overall heating system – piping, buffer tanks, radiators – is displayed in a fully-interactive format. Attention is also paid to the impact that different fuels have on storage requirements and fuel-feed mechanisms. The key steps involved in installing a domestic biomass system are presented.

Resource based on reference materials gathered in co-operation with educational and commercial sectors in UK (National Skills Academy Environmental Technologies, EU Skills, HE Academy Discipline Lead, Leeds College of Building and many others).
