Flowchart A flowchart is a diagram that describes a computer process, system, or algorithm.

They
are widely used in many fields to document, study, plan, improve, and communicate often complex
processes in clear, easy-to-understand diagrams. Flowcharts use rectangles, ovals, diamonds, and
numerous other shapes to define the type of step, along with connecting arrows that establish flow
and sequence. They are one of the most common diagrams in the world, used by people with and
without technical knowledge in a variety of fields. Figure 1 shows an example of the structure of
these diagrams.

Fluid Energy: A substance that can flow is called fluid, it includes both liquids and gases. They can
contain energy in them, which can be utilized for different purposes. For example, in a windmill, the
energy in the wind turns blades around a rotor, which spins a generator to create electricity, in
hydroelectric power plants a turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical
energy, which is converted into electrical energy by a generator. Similarly, ocean waves will move a
wave energy converter (WEC) and that motion drives a generator that creates electricity. Figure 2
shows a hydroelectric power generation, an example of fluid energy.

Ergonomics: Is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products and systems so that they
fit the people who use them. Ergonomics aims to create safe, comfortable and productive workspaces
by bringing human abilities and limitations into the design of a workspace, including the individual’s
body size, strength, skill, speed, sensory abilities (vision, hearing), and even attitudes.
Energy Sources: Sources of energy can be classified into:

• Renewable Sources
• Non-renewable Sources
Renewable sources of energy are available plentiful in nature and are sustainable. These resources of
energy can be naturally replenished and are safe for the environment. Examples of renewable sources
of energy are: Solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, biomass, hydropower and tidal energy.
A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that is found underneath the earth. These type of
energy resources do not replenish at the same speed at which it is used. They take millions of years
to replenish. The main examples of non-renewable resources are coal, oil and natural gas. Examples
of non-renewable sources of energy are: Natural gas, coal, petroleum, nuclear energy and
hydrocarbon gas liquids.
In the Figure 3 different energy sources can be observed.

Field Lines: Are a locus that is defined by a vector field and a starting location within the field. For
the electric fields, we have electric field lines. As seen in Electrostatics, electric charges create an
electric field in the space surrounding them. It acts as a kind of "map" that gives that gives the
direction and indicates the strength of the electric field at various regions in space. The concept of
electric field lines was introduced by Michael Faraday, which helped him to easily visualize the
electric field using intuition rather than mathematical analysis. In the Figure 4, electric field lines can
be observed.
