What Are the Best Subjects for a Career in Power Plants?

AI Thread Summary
Choosing subjects like thermodynamics and process improvement techniques can enhance employability in the power plant industry, as they are directly relevant to engineering roles. Fluid and solids handling and materials are also valuable, but a strong foundation in thermodynamics is crucial for understanding energy systems. Employers often seek candidates with specialized knowledge, so selecting subjects that align with industry needs can provide a competitive edge. While a degree is essential, practical skills and relevant coursework can significantly improve job prospects. Focusing on these areas will better prepare for a career in power plants or the shipping industry.

hi
I want to work in a shipping industry or a power plant for my career.
however the university I go to have made us choose 3 options for our final year subjects.
I have chosen a thermo dynamics final year project.
but I want to know would be better to get into this type of career?
I have chosen
  • fluid and solids handling
  • materials
but should I choose for the 3rd option, thermo dynamics or process imprudent techniques?

I understand every one wants these kind of jobs and that they are hard to get into. but how can I have the advantage.

or won't employers seem to care, as long as you have the degree? I live in UK.
thanks

because they have to train you to become an engineer even with you degree. any help please
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
