Answer / richa

electrons are negatively charged psrticles thats why they
are attracted towards the positive side of the
battery ...so they flow from negative to positive side

Answer / gurmurat

electric current is jst a convention which represents the flow of electrons only nd whose direction is taken opposite to the flow of electrons.
the flow is same jst the references matter,electron from -ve to +ve nd current vice versa.

Answer / g.lakshmi pathi

As a convention we consider the direction of flow of positive charge as direction of current which is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons.current always flow from high potential to low potential.High potential region means region having high concentration of positive charge.

We are preparing another project which involves Waste heat recovery from a 1 MW GE Engine. The Engine in particular gives out flue gas at 487Deg C with a flow rate of 5650 kg/hour and this can be cooled to 180 Deg C. This gives a thermal output of ~ 594 KW that is available for input to VAM via heat exchanger / boiler. Additionally 581 KW will be available from engine jacket water (temperature profile 80/ 80 Deg C and a flow rate of 50m3/hr) Our estimation is that 300 TR of cooling is possible with a suitable VAM machine(s). Please advise what is the most suitable arrangement with maximum TR and min Capital expenditure. plz reply me as early as possible
