wonder whenever someone finds that a single engine is able to keep a Boeing 747 aloft for over four hours. With the rate that technology has advanced in the prior 100 years‚ the possibilities for development of new aircraft powerplants are unlimited. One of the most recent milestones in aircraft powerplant design is General Electric’s GE90-115B‚ which is rumored to be one of the most popular‚ most fuel-efficient‚ most powerful‚ and one of the quietest engines that have been built to date (Eisenstein

Steam Engines A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. Using boiling water to produce motion goes back about 2000 years‚ but early devices were not practical. Since the late 1700’s steam engines have become a major source of mechanical power. The first steam-powered devices were used to pump water out of mines. In 1781‚ James Watt patented a steam engine that produced continuous rotative motion. These engines enabled a wide range of

At the start of the 19 century Richard Trevithick‚ inspired by Thomas Newcomen’s design of the low-pressure steam engine‚ develop the more accessible high-pressure engine. This new engine was smaller and more economic to produce then it’s low pressure cousin without losing power or efficiency. Steam engines brought more facets of fortune to America. The railways would be the river that flooded north America with the coming revolution of

mining and engineering from a young age. The son of a mining captain‚ he performed poorly in school‚ but went on to be an early pioneer in steam-powered rail. His most significant contribution was to the development of the first high pressure steam engine; he also built the first full-scale working railway steam locomotive. On 21 February 1804 the world’s first locomotive-hauled railway journey took place as Trevithick’s unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Penydarren Ironworks

Thermodynamics within a Heat Engine Physical chemistry can be considered anything that undergoes a physical or chemical change using the underlying concepts of mathematics and physics. According to chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis‚ “Physical chemistry is everything that is interesting” (ACS). When you think about it‚ physical chemistry is all around us in the world we live in today. Some aspects of physical chemistry can even range anywhere from tropical storms to turbines‚ or steam engines and just about everything

Introductory overviewAlmost all coal‚ nuclear‚ geothermal‚ solar thermal electric‚ and waste incineration plants‚ as well as many natural gas power plants are thermal. Natural gas is frequently combusted in gas turbines as well as boilers. The waste heat from a gas turbine can be used to raise steam‚ in a combined cycle plant that improves overall efficiency. Power plants burning coal‚ oil‚ or natural gas are often referred to collectively as fossil-fuel power plants. Some biomass-fueled thermal
