This is Part 3 of our launching of Engineerography Blog. If you haven’t checked out Part 1 and Part 2 already, I recommend that you do. I talked about the fundamentals to electricity generation and steam turbine power plants. Efficiency is the hot word of the news today, but the science and engineering of it is [...]
This is Part 2 of our grand launching of Engineerography Blog. If you haven’t checked out Part 1 already, I recommend that you do. I talked about the fundamentals to electricity generation there. The simplest form of a steam turbine power plant consists of a boiler and a turbine driving an electric generator. Typically, the axis [...]
I’d like to start off with something so important, but so invisible, in our everyday lives. We all know by now that energy and power generation is the hot topic that’s moving us forward, with talk about global climate change, renewable energy, and “green” technology. I’ll kick off the blog with a special 4-part series about [...]
We’ve felt it’s about time there’s some high-end engineering out there that normal people can understand. People are often fascinated by how things work right before their eyes, but they are uninterested in the numbers and details. Here, we’ll share news and information typically rooted in the engineering crowd with everyone else out there. Probably [...]
