Simultaneous management of chemical and biological contaminants in drinking water has been presented through modification in conventional electrocoagulation (EC) process. Traditional EC process using iron and aluminum electrodes removed metals but did not affect microbiological contaminants to a greater extent. Iron anode …

The electrolysis process has been used for many years to generate hydrogen for the ammonia synthesis process. A commercial electrolyzer stack can generate high-purity hydrogen using renewable electricity. The most significant challenge faced by this technology is the availability and cost of pure water as a feedstock for the system.

Beryllium is not ductile. This contributes to its stiffness and stability and means it can be machined accurately. However, it also has characteristics that make it similar to powdered metal or sintered parts, and it fractures easily if not machined properly. Although it is relatively soft (Rc 11), beryllium is abrasive and hard on tools.

The great Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885–1962) made immediate use of Rutherford's planetary model of the atom. (Figure 1). Bohr became convinced of its validity and spent part of 1912 at Rutherford's laboratory. In 1913, after returning to Copenhagen, he began publishing his theory of the simplest atom, hydrogen, based on the planetary ...

Most U.S. and world electricity generation is from electric power plants that use a turbine to drive electricity generators. In a turbine generator, a moving fluid—water, steam, combustion gases, or air—pushes a series of blades mounted on a rotor shaft. The force of the fluid on the blades spins (rotates) the rotor shaft of a generator.

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. Electricity is both a basic part of nature and one of the most widely used forms of energy. The electricity that we use is a secondary energy source because it is produced by converting primary sources of energy such as coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, solar energy, and wind energy into ...
