Parent topics
- Engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. [e]
- Chemical engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products [e]
- Electrical engineering [r]: the branch of engineering that deals with electricity and electromagnetism. [e]
Subtopics
- Air preheater [r]: A general term to describe any device designed to preheat the combustion air used in a fuel-burning furnace for the purpose of increasing the thermal efficiency of the furnace. [e]
- Boiler [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Coal [r]: a combustible, black rock formed after millions of years of heat and pressure were applied to the decayed remains of plants and organic matter in what were then swamps. [e]
- Condensate polishing [r]: An ion exchange process used to purify the steam condensate produced in high-pressure steam generation facilities such as those in large thermal power plants. [e]
- Deaerator [r]: A device used for the removal of air and other dissolved gases from the feedwater to steam generating boilers. [e]
- Flue gas desulfurization [r]: The technology for removing sulfur dioxide from the flue gases resulting from the combustion of coal or fuel oil in power plant steam generators or other large combustion sources. [e]
- Flue gas stack [r]: A vertical pipe, channel or chimney (also referred to as a smokestack) through which combustion product gases (flue gases) are exhausted to the atmosphere. Includes the draft (draught) effect of hot gases flowing through tall stacks (chimneys). [e]
- Industrial cooling tower [r]: Heat rejection systems used primarily to provide circulating cooling water in large industrial facilities. [e]
- Power (physics) [r]: Rate of producing or consuming energy; SI unit: watt = joule/second. [e]
- Steam [r]: The vapor (or gaseous) phase of water (H2O). [e]
- Steam generator [r]: A device that uses a heat source to boil liquid water and convert it into its vapor phase, referred to as steam. [e]
- Steam turbine [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Surface condenser [r]: A water-cooled shell and tube heat exchanger for condensing the exhaust steam from large steam turbines. [e]
- Water [r]: A chemical compound with one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms (H20). It is often in a liquid form and makes up the bulk of the oceans, lakes, rivers and living organisms. [e]
- Hydroelectric power [r]: converts the energy in falling or flowing water in dams into electricity by directing falling or flowing water through water turbines which spin electrical generators that produce electricity; see the Hydroelectricity article in Wikipedia. [e]
- Nuclear power [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Wind power [r]: Uses turbines inside wind mills to generate electricity or pump water or do other work; see the Wind power article Wikipedia for details. [e]
- Solar power [r]: Energy sources based directly on the sun's electromagnetic radiation. [e]
- Geothermal power [r]: Extracts energy from the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface and uses it for space heating or for generating electricity; see the Geothermal power article on Wikipedia for details. [e]
