Hello guys, in this article we are going to review Nashik Thermal Power Plant.  Nashik Thermal Power Plant is situated at Eklahre, a village near Nashik. The power plant has a total of 5 units of which 3 units having capacity of 210MW and 2 units having capacity of 140MW. The power plant runs on primary fuel coal and a secondary or backup fuel as oil. It is run by Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (MAHAGENCO). The power plant was first commissioned in 1970. The power plant is spread in a total of 474 hectares. It got ISO certification in the year 2002. The first two units having capacity 140MW are now stopped as they are under renovation, while the other three units are running 24×7. The plant needs oil fire to start the power plant unit, after which it can be run on coal fired continuosly. The whole system works on rankine cycle. The coal needed to fire the boiler comes through railways as the plant is situated on Bhusawal-Kalyan section of central...

Hello guys, here is a short article on how we can use hydrogen as a fuel in our modern vehicles and spacecraft. Hydrogen is found in the first group and first period of periodic table, this means that it is the first element in the periodic table making it the lightest element. Hydrogen when burned with oxygen gives zero emission. It can be used in internal combustion engine and fuel cells. Fuel cell engines are now being commercialised. Hydrogen is the primary fuel used in the jet propulsion system and spacecraft propulsion. Hydrogen is light, it rises in the atmosphere and is therefore rarely found in its pure form. It reacts with oxygen and water and energy is given out. Since hydrogen gas do not occur in its pure form on earth it would need a primary energy input to produce it on industrial scale. It can be extracted through by the process of electrolysis and steam methane reforming. In the process of electrolysis electricity is passed through the water to...

Hello guys, in this article we are gonna see what would have happened or what would have been the changes in our earth's atmosphere if pangea(the massive continent) never broken apart. From about 300 million to 200 million years ago, all seven modern continents were mashed together as one landmass, dubbed Pangaea . The continents have since drifted apart because of the movements of the Earth's crust, known as plate tectonics. Some continents have maintained their puzzle piece-like shapes: Look at how eastern South America tucks into western Africa. Life would be: Far less diverse. A prime driver of speciation the development of new species from existing ones is geographical isolation, which leads to the evolution of new traits by subjecting creatures to different selective pressures. Consider, for example, the large island of Madagascar, which broke off from Gondwana, Pangaea's southern half, 160 million years ago. About nine out of 10 of the plant and...

Hello guys, in this article we will se what will happen if Sahara dessert was covered with solar panels. In a world exhausted of fossil fuels solar panels can provide a sustainable solutions for our energy problems, but they also come with a couple of issues for one solar farms are massive and they needs to be set-up somewhere that gets a lot of sunlight. This is only possible if we have a large unused  landmass that gets gaurenteed sunlight every day, could we cover an entire desert with solar panels, will that be enough to power entire world. So let's start with topic. If we cover only 1.2% of the entire Sahara desert with solar panels we can harness enough power to meet the energy needs of the entire world. How can we overcome the financial and political problems and the could this project thoroughly change the deserts climate. Usualy a solar farm is built to prevent changes in the environment but if we build a solar farm in the Sahara desert it would...
