PROJECT TITLE: Power Plant Synopsis A power plant is a facility for the generation of electric power. Power plant is also used to refer to the engine in ships‚ aircraft and other large vehicles. Some prefer to use the term energy centre because it more accurately describes what the plants do‚ which is the conversion of other forms of energy‚ like chemical energy‚ gravitational potential energy or heat energy into electrical energy. For example‚ in the steam power plant‚ the fuel is burn so

Nuclear Plants The question of whether the U.S. should have nuclear power plants is very controversial. There are two sides that one can take; however‚ both sides have their own share of problems. If you chose to not have nuclear plants‚ then eventually all natural resources will run out. The oil supply will run out relatively soon‚ and all other sources will run out too. The natural resources that we have now are still harmful to the earth however. The gas which we use for our cars pollutes

Viroids are plant pathogens that consist of a short stretch (a few hundred nucleobases) of highly complementary‚ circular‚ single-stranded RNA without the protein coat that is typical for viruses.[1] The smallest discovered is a 220 nucleobase scRNA (small cytoplasmic RNA) associated with the rice yellow mottle sobemovirus (RYMV).[2] In comparison‚ the genome of the smallest known viruses capable of causing an infection by themselves are around 2kilobases in size. The human pathogen hepatitis D is

Charcoal is considerably neutral‚ and the natural wood types are perfect in their ability to amend nearly any type of soil. Today‚ you may here the term bio-char‚ and this refers to the larger quantities of organic charcoal being produced for use on organic farms and the like. Charcoal is clean‚ chemical free in most cases‚ clean to produce when processed properly‚ and offers an outstanding result without the potentially harmful chemicals and additives so often thrown in to expensive commercial fertilizers

was caused by a weak structure of the plant it self and poorly qualified operators of the plant. This melt down was the worst in history.
