Super Aggro Crag posted:The whole point is that you can post whatever boring rear end poo poo you want to in here except when the goon collective doesn't like it. Then all of a sudden it's not okay to post about it. It's not that, it's just that people notice a pattern to it and have mentioned it which for some reason gets to you. Maybe mix it up a bit?

But we should probably go and debate auto vs manual, diesel vs vortec, and/or superchargers vs turbochargers in a D&D thread at some point. It would change just as many minds as political, religious, and sportsball arguments. e: or maybe a motor oil recommendation thread, that's always great for getting the greybeards spun up

Hey guys what's up?! I'm postin from a power station in West Virginia, where I've been poking around a bunch all morning. I have no data out here, but rest assured there's gonna be some loving cool pictures in here once I get back tonight! I just renewed my passion for power gen by coming here. I kept looking at screens and spreadsheets and lost the tangible part of what I'm doing. Being near all this equipment has stimulated my curiosity and I now know I need to get out to a station frequently. Also, it's started a deluge of questions I'm asking myself. I got to a level doing research where I was running out of questions about the major systems and processes, and this morning has brought a shitload more questions to now go back and answer. It's difficult to know what you need to know without looking at the fucker. Anyways, poo poo owns. Go renew a passion. Hope everyone's day's great!

Looks like I missed last nights poo poo-fest which I'm cool with. Unfortunately I was working on my own poo poo fest which is trying to figure out "mathematics for elementary teachers: a contemporary approach." I took this class because I was thinking "Cool, I'll just take this 120 level course to fulfill my last elective requirement since It's the final class I need to graduate. It should be the easiest thing ever since my previous major had me going to trig 2 and this is how to teach match to k-6th graders." What I found is a hell pit of bullshit and despair, it took me 2 1/2 hours to do 30 questions last night. Common core is the coolestest!

But just throwing (other people's) money at a problem doesn't necessarily solve the problem, and can often create different problems (e.g. you can't attend college without being independently wealthy or taking a shitload of loans now, whereas our parents could work through school and come out without much/any loans). now back to our regularly scheduled AI chat thread content.

You DO realize that is the path we're on. Right now. Thanks Republicans. Cutting school funding and destroying Public Education, while raising costs of tuition for in state colleges has been primarily a Republican thing for...what, nearly a decade now.Enlighten me, what DO you agree with the Republicans on? Wisconsin, Louisiana, Georgia, Kansas, there are all GOP controlled states and they've obliterated Public School funding while creating Budgetary problems that make an actual train wreck look like a garden party. These are the same fuckers that go on and on about how our Federal Budget is like a 'Household budget' and then, unironically, cut any possible Tax income and then point and say "Look how broken the Government is! Look at their spending woes that we were directly the cause of and continue to ruin" CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Sep 23, 2015 |

OH poo poo I thought the work computer blocked USB data transfer but hey I was wrong, so enjoy these cool pics of a generic coal power station with no affiliation to any one company in particular: Parallel coal mills/pulverizers:  There's 15 of them in a row. Pretty bad steam leak out of a pump seal:  It's a smaller pump (like only the size of my torso) for an aux system so they're running anyways. Giant 3 story condenser:  This big guy sits under the low pressure turbine and condenses the steam back into water via cooling water from the lake. 1st extraction feedwater heater:  This guy extracts steam from the turbines and uses it to heat the water before it comes into the boiler, via shell/tube heat exchangers. Think a giant circular radiator. There's 6 of these. Per boiler Three boilers here. That valve hand wheel is about 6 ft in diameter, by the way. Shot of the outside of one of the units:  The corrugated 12 story metal building to the right is the boiler. Everything you see outside here is emissions equipment working the boiler exhaust. It actually draws a lot of parallels to car exhaust emissions, interestingly enough. Here's the inside shot of those ducts, as they come off the boiler and go out to the stack:  Forced draft fans:  8 of these per boiler, and they're huge. Not only that, there's another 8 on the exhaust side. Using the FD fans to push fresh air into the boiler, and using the Induced Draft (ID) fans on the exhaust, they can adjust the pressure in the boiler to very slightly below barometric. More to come from my afternoon jaunt. The turbine room is insane. INSANE.
