Weaning the world off fossil fuels will take some time, so finding ways to make energy generation more efficient is still important. Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have ...

Research conducted by a team of MIT scientists suggests that applying a layer of graphene to power plant condensers could significantly improve efficiency. Early testing indicates that use of the ...

OMAHA PUBLIC POWER District’s North Omaha Power Station has been operating on the west bank of the Missouri River for many years. The station has four coal-fired units with a total capacity of 600 MW.

Enhanced condenser tube designs can significantly improve the heat rate and performance of fossil and nuclear plants. Using the optimum number of tubes and replacement tube sheets will cost more than ...

The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) installed a condenser at the UAE’s first nuclear power plant. The condenser will cool the steam back into water at the Barakah nuclear power plant in Abu ...

(Nanowerk News) Most of the world’s electricity-producing power plants — whether powered by coal, natural gas, or nuclear fission — make electricity by generating steam that turns a turbine. That ...

There are literally miles and miles of tubing in every power plant that will operate very reliably for many years. However, much of that tubing will spend much of its life in the most demanding of ...

For decades, it's been understood that water repellency is needed for surfaces to shed condensation buildup - like the droplets of water that form in power plant condensers to reduce pressure. New ...

Most of the world's electricity-producing power plants -- whether powered by coal, natural gas, or nuclear fission -- make electricity by generating steam that turns a turbine. That steam then is ...
