The NASA Helios prototype solar-powered wing on its first test flight over the Pacific Ocean on July 14, 2001.Each of the 14 solar panels powered a 2-horsepower electric motor which drives one of the fourteen propellers. This remarkable vehicle has reached an altitude 0f 81,000 ft(24,700 m) and, under ideal weather condition can go even higher.It is also ideal for checking the wing theory since... [Read Post]

More from Inside Power Station :
A rotor which has been sitting idle during overhaul or has been inadvertently stopped during coastdown for an extended period will develop a bow or bend. This condition must be corrected by turning gear operation and, possibly, with auxiliary heating prior to high speed operation to prevent internal...

To determine the steam wet or dry is esier use mollier chart. For example the turbine design which has 85 barg minimum pressure set point has 330C permissive to add steam caused by 310C saturation point (20C superheat degree).Mollier chart frequently use at old power station. In modern power station...
