Diesel Power Plant Figure shows the arrangements of the engine and its auxiliaries in a diesel power plant. The major components of the plant are: a) Engine Engine is the heart of a diesel power plant. Engine is directly connected through a gear box to the generator. Generally two-stroke engines are used for power generation. Now a days‚ advanced super & turbo charged high speed engines are available for power production. b) Air supply system Air inlet is arranged outside

thinks that technologies do more harm than good. We are going to use two specific kinds of technologies to talk about the harmful of it. The first one is about the harmful of using smart phones and the second one is the harmful of having nuclear power/ power plant. According to the Wikipedia‚ the definition of technology is the making‚ modification‚ usage‚ and knowledge of tools‚ machines‚ techniques in order to solve a problem‚ achieve a goal or perform a specific function. It can also refer to

Nuclear Power Debate Year 11 Physics Gurjyot Singh Australia currently has no nuclear facilities generating electricity‚ which is forcing the Australian Government to look towards nuclear energy as a great alternative. Nuclear energy is a growing controversial topic in Australia; because the demands of utilizing electricity are increasing rapidly. According to a recent study‚ Australia has 23% of the world’s uranium deposits and is the second largest producer of uranium

THE BENEFITS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY The only clean‚ safe energy source capable of ensuring the continuation of our industrial civilization while protecting the environment. by Bruno Comby Introduction and conclusion (previous conclusion elevated to introduction) Nuclear energy is a clean‚ safe‚ reliable and competitive energy source. It is the only source of energy that can replace a significant part of the fossil fuels (coal‚ oil and gas) which massively pollute the atmosphere and contribute

Coal power vs. Nuclear power Safety & Efficiency With nuclear power came what was thought to be a more clean alternative to burning coal and other fossil fuels; Nuclear power does not produce nearly as much of the greenhouse gases as coal produces. People and society have given nuclear power a bad name‚ considering the amount of accidents that have happened. Although when you look at statistics it’s not as many as you would believe‚ or expect. When nuclear power is put head to head with coal

Fukushima Power Plant Nuclear power plants now account for 14% of the world’s electricity supply [1]. These power plants differ only by the fuel used from oil coal or gas power plants. The concept is otherwise the same. Large nuclei become unstable when struck with a neutron‚ his causes it to split apart and also produce neutrons which are fire out. This then causes a chain reaction and other nuclei are split up. This splitting of nuclei is called nuclear fission and it provides heat which heats

As one of President Barrack Obama ’s advisers‚ weighing the options for what to do about Iran possibly becoming a nuclear power has never been more important. Two main strategies are on the forefront‚ monitoring the situation like we have been doing or going ahead and bombing their nuclear sites and possibly their government officials. Both situations have ramifications to which could possibly be detrimental to our country‚ but the positive results
