    Design Steam Turbine for Solar Energy: Math Help Needed

    im designing a steam turbine and boiler for a solar energy project but i can't figure out the math and have had trouble looking it up the only thing that is definite about the turbine (other than that its a tesla turbine) is that the thermal wattage is 5,855 watts or 1,434.72 calories per second...

    What Is the Freezing Temperature of Brass Under Gradual Tension?

    actually steamking i think he's asking at what temperature does brass transition from stretching and tearing to snapping

    Does the Earth's size change over time?

    technically dave most of the mass of a plant is from the atmosphere (that being some of the water (rain) and the almost all of the carbon (co2)

    Graduate Bremsstrahlung wavelength range

    actually after some research i found i could make a synchrotron output 4 MeV with a mere 15 meter diameter and 400 MeV electrons (synchrotron in question can handle up to 1 GeV) 2.5 Mev isn't high enough energy for the experiment i want to do

    Graduate Bremsstrahlung wavelength range

    after some research on free electron lasers and synchrotrons i found that with magnets i could make i'd need 19.7 GeV electrons i also found two potential options though if i could use hard drive disks with back and forth 1s to 0s i would only need 62 MeV electrons (assuming the magnets are 10...

    Graduate Bremsstrahlung wavelength range

    i meant the efficiency after losses to heat but ill also look into that

    Graduate Bremsstrahlung wavelength range

    i need to calculate what percentage of the energy put into a X-ray tube will be between the minimum wavelength and the longest wavelength suitable for it's application (as to calculate how efficiently it does it's job) with only the input voltage (unless the anode material is important) the...

    Graduate Lithium Hydrogen Fusion: Exploring the Science and Safety of Li7 + H Reaction

    why don't the alpha particles produces excite protons again to continue the reaction though

    Graduate Lithium Hydrogen Fusion: Exploring the Science and Safety of Li7 + H Reaction

    does that mean that initially the particle struck by the radiation will fuse and maybe a few after that the energy will be to dispersed or that none of the particles will fuse

    Graduate Lithium Hydrogen Fusion: Exploring the Science and Safety of Li7 + H Reaction

    why doesn't background radiation cause lithium hydride to explode in a nuclear chain reaction Li7 + H = Be8 + energy Be8 = 2He4 + energy

    Undergrad Oxygen Phase Diagram: Pressure & Liquefy 0-50 atm

    i need to know what pressure oxygen will liquefy at under various pressures but i can't find a phase diagram anywhere any link phase diagram that shows pressures 0-50 atm would be useful

    Is this an impossible code challenge?

    i wrote a script that codes phrases for me in c++ that should be impossible to solve if anybody can solve the code i'll respond with the key and explain how it works so here it is 05 08 13 52 19 55 89 44 33 77 10 82 88 84 23 65 46 52 57 95 37 93 18 11 29 40 69 34 97 87 21 52 17 33 86 20 37 96...

    Graduate Universal electromagnetic field formula

    does anybody know where i could find a universal or nearly universal electromagnetic field equation by universal i mean instead of calculating for a solenoid or a loop of wire just calculating for a wire weather curved or not which is in the presence of another magnetic field of a predefined...
