What is hydroelectric power?
• Works by using the energy of moving water
• Making use of dammed water to drive the water turbine of a generator
• Gravitational Potential Energy (PE) stored in the water
Kinetic Energy (KE) of water (along the turbine passage)
Electrical energy Efficiency of power stations: from 60% to over 90%
23
Example: Efficiency of hydroelectric power
In a hydroelectric power station, water in the upper reservoir flows through a vertically
downward distance of 50 m and passes through a turbine at a rate of 5000 kg s–1.
(a) Describe the energy conversion in generating hydroelectric power.
The energy conversion occurs as follows:
Gravitational PE of water => Kinetic energy of water => Kinetic energy of water
=> Kinetic energy of turbine => Electrical energy
(b) Find the rate of loss of gravitational PE of the water.
(c) If the output power of the turbine = 1.9 MW. Find the efficiency of the turbine.

What is “otzi”?
Ö tzi the Iceman (pronounced [ˈœtsi]), Similaun Man, and Man from Hauslabjoch are
modern names for a well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived about 5,300
years ago. The mummy was found in September 1991 in the Ö tztal Alps, near
Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy. The nickname comes from the
Ö tztal (Ö tz valley), the Italian Alps in which he was discovered. He is Europe's oldest
natural human mummy, and has offered an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic
(Copper Age) Europeans. His body and belongings are displayed in the South Tyrol
Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy.

Buonconsiglio Castle (Castello del Buonconsiglio)
The castle originated from a fortified building erected in the
13th century. This first edifice was called Castelvecchio ("Old
Castle"), and was the seat of the Bishopric of Trent from the
13th century onwards.
Bishop George of Liechtenstein was the first to enlarge the
castle, in the late 14th century, turning it into a well-styled
residence. The Castelvecchio was further modified. In the first
decades of the 16th century Bishop Bernardo Clesio had a new
residence, called Palazzo Magno ("Grand Palace") built in Renaissance style alongside the
old castle. The last great addition was the so-called Giunta Albertiana, with which the
Castelvecchio and the Palazzo Magno were united
The castle remained the seat of the Prince-Bishops until 1803. Used by the Austrians as
military barracks and, later, as a jail, it decayed. In the 1920s, when Trento was returned
to Italy, it became seat of a National Museum and was restored. Since 1992 it is home to
the Provincial Gallery of Art.
According the legend, it was connected by a secret tunnel to the city's cathedral, which
allowed the prince-bishops to move unseen between them
What are worth seeing in the castle?
a. The artistic wall in the interior halls
They are one of the most noteworthy examples of International Gothic art in Europe:
they represent the "Cycle of the Months" (15th century) and were made by an
unknown artist from Bohemia. The cycle is interesting also for its accurate portrayal of
the landscape, the economic activities, the habits and the fashion of Medieval Trentino.
The walls of Torre del Falco (late 16th century) have frescoes with hunting scenes, also
a rare example of German landscape painting in northern Italy.
b. The Palazzo Magno (Big Palace)
It was decorated in the early 16th century by order of prince-bishop Bernardo Clesio.
Dosso Dossi and his brother Battista were entrusted the decoration of the Sala Grande,
Sala degli Specchi, the Camera del Camin Nero, the Stua della Farnea (the refectory),
the Library and others. Girolamo Romanino frescoed, among the others, the loggia in
the Lions' Court (Cortile dei Leoni) with typical Renaissance themes, such as
mythological or ancient Roman episodes, as well as biblical ones, and others from daily
life. He also painted a portrait of Bernardo Clesio in the Sala delle Udienze ("Audience
Hall"), accompanied by those of members of the Habsburg family (for which Clesio had
worked as a diplomat).

Casa di Giulietta
“Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona,
where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to
new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands
unclean.”
Who doesn’t know about the love story between Juliet
and Romeo? Immortalised by Shakespeare in the first
line of his play, Verona holds the claim to having the
houses of perhaps the greatest lovers in history. Of
course, there is much debate as to whether the lovers
existed or not. That hasn’t stopped hundreds of
thousands of tourists from wanting to see the Casa di
Giulietta, or Juliet’s House.
The dell Capello family owned the house on Via Capello for a many years. In fact, it is the
similarity of their name that spurned the popular belief that this was the house of the
Capulets in Shakespeare’s play. The dell Capello’s coat-of-arms can still be seen on the
keystone of the inner archway in the courtyard. The house itself was built in the 13th
century. A massive restoration effort to add the windows, gothic doors and the balcony
was carried out in the 1930s. The late addition of the balcony is a point of contention,
though.
From the courtyard you can see Juliet’s Balcony. This is supposedly the very same balcony
where the tragic heroine cried out to her Romeo. These days, do not be surprised to see
many a young girl standing on the balcony, probably dreaming her own dreams.
Perhaps the highlight of the visit would be the 20th bronze
statue of Juliet in the courtyard. Though its origins cannot be
determined, the most popular thing to do when visiting the
statue is to rub its right breast, which will bring good luck. So
don’t be surprised if the right side of the bronze Juliet seems to
be shinier than the rest of her! Numerous graffiti and stick notes
can also be found on the walls and doors in the courtyard. This is
a pity as it somehow destroys the ambience.
Inside the house is a small museum. All the items on display are
35
genuine antiques from the 16th and 17th century. The frescoes, paintings, and ceramics
all relate to Shakespeare’s play, but again, it is not proven that they ever belonged to the
Capulets.

Introduction
Venice is a city in northern Italy which is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its
architecture and its artworks. It is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were
270,098 people residing in Venice's comune.
The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the
10th century B.C. The city historically was the capital of the Venetian Republic. Venice
has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of
Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals".
Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most
romantic cities.
The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the
Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline
between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.
