Steam generation cannot be improved after 55 percent or is not 100-- efficient. Steam generation controls over half of the developed world’s power. Steam power plants use a boiler in which high efficiency typically greater than 90% on the higher heating value. Some manufacturers claim that 98 can be achieved. Steam generation controls over half of the developed world’s power. Steam powerplants are dated back to well over 150 years. Ships have utilized the efficiency of boilers and there

Speech Good morning Today we will tell u about the transportation of water and minerals in plants. The plants absorb water and minerals from the ground through roots. These nutrients are transported to various parts of the plant like stem‚ leaves and flowers. The phenomenon of upward movement of water and minerals is called ascent of sap. Only a small quantity of water is used up in metabolic process and growth of the plant. The plants require water and mineral salts for making food by process

Steam Turbines The invention of the water turbine was so successful that eventually‚ the idea came about for extracting power from steam. Steam has one great advantage over water-it expands in volume with tremendous velocity. To be the most effective‚ a steam turbine must run at a very high speed. No wheel made can revolve at any speed approaching the velocity that a steam turbine can. By utilizing the kinetic energy of steam flow‚ the turbine could achieve a higher efficiency. As a result

Steam Generators A steam generator generates steam at the desired rate at the desired pressure and temperature by running fuel in its furnace (used in both fossil-fuel and nuclear-fuel electric generating power stations). It is a complex integration of furnace‚ superheater‚ reheater‚ boiler or evaporator‚ economizer and air preheater along with various auxiliaries such as pulverizers‚ burners‚ fans‚ stokers‚ dust collectors and precipitators‚ ash handling equipment and chimney/stack.

The Steam Turbine‚ Part I The Steam Turbine by Sir CHARLES A. PARSONS‚ K.C.B. Best viewed with window no wider than the above line. THE STEAM TURBINE In modern times the progress of science has been phenomenally rapid. The old methods of research have given place to new. The almost infinite complexity of things has been recognized and methods‚ based on a co-ordination of data derived from accurate observation and tabulation of facts‚ have proved most successful in unravelling the secrets of

literal meaning‚ was a benchmark of 17th century industry. That is‚ of course‚ until the birth of an engine engineered to run on steam. The invention and implementation of an efficient steam engine sparked global industrial revolutions that defined economies. The concept of utilizing steam to produce power was not unheard of before the 17th century. The observation of steams potential to produce power was recorded as early as 130 BCE by Hero‚ the Elder of Alexandria. In his works titled Pneumatics

Can Knowledge Be A Burden Rather Than A Benefit? There is a serious attention paid to the issue that whether knowledge is a burden rather than a benefit. To all intents and purposes‚ there are various opinions on the issue. In my narrow perspective‚ knowledge is just irrelevant‚ if there’s no knowledge‚ there will be no chance for us to make the world a better place. In the first place‚ knowledge is the base for all our enormous inventions‚ despite the legends such as the electricity or the telescope

Is consumer behavior diverging rather than converging? Many would say that because of globalization‚ the income‚ media and technology would suggest that consumer’s needs‚ taste‚ lifestyles and wants have become homogeneous‚ giving special emphasis on technology and internet. But what people do with their possessions does not converge. Some believe that global companies will achieve success by concentrating on what everybody wants rather than worrying about the details of what everyone things they

This is a hazardous example of when knowledge can be a burden rather than a benefit. Take another example from my life experience‚ as I’m going through the line from impetuousness to maturity‚ some of my sentimental thoughts always have confused me into a deep meditation. Ingenuous
