There were three stories’ that I needed to read or watch for our PARCC practice. The names were “Energy Story”‚ “Squishy Circuits”‚ and “Conducting Solutions”. All three stories’ mainly focused on the science behind electricity. The stories were very educational‚ as well as informational. In the next four paragraphs I will be telling how the story’s helped me to understand the technological science more. The purpose of "Energy Story" is to teach you how all the atoms such as protons‚ neutrons‚ and

Transformation We can now solve simple series‚ parallel or bridge type resistive networks using Kirchoff´s Circuit Laws‚ mesh current analysis or nodal voltage analysis techniques but in a balanced 3-phase circuit we can use different mathematical techniques to simplify the analysis of the circuit and thereby reduce the amount of math’s involved which in itself is a good thing. Standard 3-phase circuits or networks take on two major forms with names that represent the way in which the resistances are connected

ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN THERMAL POWER PLANT INTRODUCTION Thermal Power Plants are the most important source of power generation. They are based on the Rankine Cycle where high pressure and high temperature steam raised in a boiler is expanded through a steam turbine that drives an electric generator. In a thermal power plant‚ the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal‚ fuel oil‚ natural gas is converted successively into thermal energy‚ mechanical energy and finally electrical energy

I‚ Pencil Summary: This was an article written from the aspect of a wooden pencil. The pencil first starts out talking about how no one knows how to make him/her. It states that it is a mystery even more so than a tree or a sunset. It goes on to talk about even though it might look like a simple object‚ it is much more complex with creation. Referencing each piece used to create the pencil‚ then tracing its genealogy to those who made objects used for transportation‚ manufacturing‚ texturing
