Energy Conservation by Co-generation

Energy Conservation by Co-generation  Co-generation is the method (way) of conserving the energy. In main generation, the energy is converted into another form of energy say-hydro to electrical, thermal to electrical, diesel oil to electrical But in these conversions, a large part of energy is wasted and small part is converted. This loss of energy … Read more
