A few Thermodynamics Physics review questions?

Can someone help me with these A heat engine consists of an oil fired steam turbine driving an electric power generator with a power output of 120 megawatts. The thermal efficiency of the heat engine is 40 percent. a. Determine the time rate at which heat is supplied to the engine. b. If the heat […]

questions about energy?

i have some school homework for science and it’s really hard can anyone tell me….. how to build a candle operated steam turbine from simple materials Build a simple wind powered generator and build a working model for a solar water heating system using every day materials

My question is why does Nikola Tesla get overlooked?

Einstein, Newton, Plank, Hawking, Bohr … But damn didn’t Tesla create things 100 years ago, that people still think don’t exist?? I respect this man, for how he wanted people to have free energy. But greed took over…

NRC Questions Westinghouse Reactor Design

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has questions about the a design by Westinghouse for a new reactor. Regulators say the AP1000 doesn’t meet some safety standards. Meanwhile, 14 projects have been put on hold until Westinghouse can prove otherwise. Clean Skies News’ Executive Editor Margaret Ryan has more.

Serious question about the green movement?

why? cfls have been around since 1975 and fluorescent lamps since 1951. why are people just now realizing the energy efficiency of these lamps and why are people buying organic? ORGANIC! if you’re scared of chemicals, wash your produce. scared of hormones? GO VEGETARIAN! Government conspiracy or are we just getting dumber?

Question on Twin Ion Engines?

You might remember “twin ion engines” from Star Wars (though you probably don’t). Apparently NASA has actually developed TIEs. These engines don’t travel nearly as fast as in the movie though. They use mercury ions and solar power for propulsion. I don’t understand how this is possible. Normal rocket engines are able to propel themselves […]

Thermodynamics & Heat Transfer question… Steam efficiency etc..?

A power plant taps steam superheated by geothermal energy to 505 K (the temperature of the hot reservoir) and uses the steam to do work in truning the turbine of an eletric generator. The steam is then converted back into water in a condenser at 323 K (the temperature of the cold reservoir), after which […]
