08.00-13.00 Visit to local hydroelectric dam, apple storehouse and local

cheese factory

15.00-16.50 Volleyball match

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.

Map of Trento

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.

20-22 December 2011 (Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday) Our stay at Venice

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.
