Hydropower: Why Use Thermal Insulation in Hydroelectric Plants?
Thermal insulation is a means of stopping heat transfer from one object to another. It is usually used to decrease levels of heat transfer via conduction, requiring objects to be in direct contact, and can also be used to prevent heat transfer via radiation. Thermal conductivity of materials determines the rate of heat transfer between objects. Ceramics and metals which have high thermal ...

Keep Flowin`: GE Spins Up Supercomputer Models to Zero in On Energy Loss in Turbines
High-pressure turbines are complex pieces of engineering and vital components of gas turbines used to propel jet engines. The more efficient these jet engines are, the better the outcomes for the aircraft industry. The turbine blades rotate behind the combustion chamber in an engine, and they must endure the hot gas that spews out, accelerating them to high speeds. Because they are crucial to ...

Mountain Man: This Engineer Helped Design a Huge Power Plant On Top of the Alps
Having grown up in the shadow of the majestic Matterhorn in southern Switzerland - and summiting its pointy peak last year - Alex Schwery is not easily intimidated by the sight of a big mountain. But one cold day in the mid-2000s, he found himself standing in a cramped Alpine valley and he was practically trembling. It was freezing, but Schwery and his colleagues were also nervous. They were ...

Pumped About the Future: The Next Wave of Hydropower is Happening in Australia
Australia’s grid is at a crossroads. The country has relied on coal to generate its power for decades, but those fossil-fueled plants are set to be retired over the next 20 years. As coal bows out, Australia plans to build 26 to 50 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar power, roughly the same as South Africa’s total installed capacity, to fill some of the void. But that switch is far from ...
