Im trying for my 3rd grade stationary exam in omaha and one of the questions in the class has me very lost.
It is simply: a boiler has 300 gallons of 70°f water
How many BTU's are requied to produce the first pound of steam?
Hay i am a recent graduate, i dont have much experience in the field otherthan my internship, I applied for many jobs in the field but didn't even got any response, what should I do to get an entry level engineering job
Hey all,
I've been offered a PUE-1 job at SUNY Downstate and I'm very excited about it. I've been running my own mechanical business for some time as well as having a NYC civil service job. I am eligible to transfer my pension and time over to the state which is great. Healthcare is good from what I hear too. I will def be taking a serious pay cut however the steam time and other equipment they run make this opportunity seem worth it long term. Anyone have experience or info working at this plant or for the state in general? Looking to see what opportunities this job can open up for me. Thanks.
I'm studying for a seal test, and this question doesn't seem to be mathing to me:
"Calculate the boiler efficiency using the steam generated vs. the fuel consumed method, if a coal plant consumed 1,363,000,000 lbs of 13,260 Btu/lb coal and generated 6,400,000 Ib of steam for a month of operation. (Feedwater temp. 208 F, Steam conditions: 179 psig and superheated to 520 F with a heat content of 1,280.4 Btu/lb.) "
86.3%
82.6%
78.3%
74.6%
Google AI (I know AI isn't that reliable) seems to use the same formulas I would, and everything makes sense until the end, where it just glosses over the fact that those numbers don't work out that way, and gives the same answer the practice test says is correct. I'm trying to overcome the temptation to just memorize the answers, and try to actually learn what it is I'm saying. The test says the correct answer is 78.3%...
Any help in understanding this, or what I'm doing wrong would be a great help.
