Comparative Analysis Of Interplanetary Magnetic Field And Moving Charged Particles

The discussion reviews the wave-particle duality of clouds of ions, protons and electron blown out from Sun and enter Earthrsquos magnetic field. They behave as particles when they are at rest or moving with uniform motion-velocity from the source or co-rotate with Sun and behave as waves when they are moving with non-constant motion-velocity (non-uniform motion) in other word accelerating. We then compared Velocity Field with Radial component of Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) and Acceleration Field with Azimuthal component of Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) using Koskinen, Linard-Wiechert Equation and Lorentz force equation. It was then discovered that the velocity field is equivalent to Radial Component of Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) and the Acceleration Field is Equivalent to Azimuthal component of Interplanetary Magnetic Field. The interplanetary magnetic field component can be expressed as: (i). Velocity-Radial component of IMF (ii). Acceleration-Azimuthal component of IMF

The Analysis Of The Monthly Global Solar Radiation On The Campus Of The Federal Polytechnic, Idah, Kogi State, Nigeria

It is certain that the global solar radiation of any location will vary with time and season, thus the mode of variation of it should be known for effective planning as this radiation has many applications in the daily lives of human beings. This research work is aimed at finding out the monthly global solar radiation on the campus of the Federal Polytechnic Idah, Kogi state, with the view to providing information for effective planning on some areas like environment, solar power systems, agriculture, and other related applications within and around Idah community. The work employed the use of two models - Hargreaves- Samanni and Angstrom models, using the data of average monthly maximum and minimum temperature, and daylight hours (July1, 1983 ndash June 30, 2005) obtained from earthdata.nasa.gov. It was observed from the results that there was variation in the average monthly global solar radiation on the campus with the two models. It was also observed that the maximum global solar radiation value with Hargreaves- Samanni model was bigger than that with Angstrom model. However, in terms of the minimum global solar radiation value, that of Angstrom model was greater than the one with Hargreaves- Samanni model.nbs
