Orbital, Nuclear, Mars?

The Angry Astronaut shares his views of orbital solar panels powering Earth. Angry informs us that there will be nuclear thermal space engine testing in three years. He also shares his opinion of humans on Mars and how we are getting there. My opinion of orbital solar arrays is that there are less expensive ways to make electricity that need government funding. Didn’t I comment that nuclear…

Soil-Sensors for Real Time Irrigation to Match Crop Water Requirement in Subsurface Drip System

Introduction Globally, water availability is becoming progressively scarce and by 2025 more than one-third of the world population would face severe water shortage [1,2]. The arid and semi-arid regions of Asia, the Middle-East, and sub-Saharan Africa, which are having a high concentration of the world’s population with a large section living below the poverty line, will be the worst affected areas. While demand for food and other agricultural commodities in these areas is increasing due to fast-growing population, freshwater availability is continuously declining.

Going Nuclear? Bin There, Done That!

The Angry Astronaut must have finely read my comments about the Hybrid Nuclear Space Engine, but he explains it much better. I have seen that we already have two kinds of nuclear-powered engines: Nuclear Thermal and Nuclear Electric Engines. Don’t ask about Nuclear Fusion or Fission engines; Fusion is too hard so far, and Fission refers too much to explosion’s… RESEARCH ARTICLE| DECEMBER 11…

Little P.Eng. Engineering: Piping Stress Analysis and Supports Design for Power Plants as per ASME B31.1 in North America

In the world of power generation, safety and reliability are paramount. Power plants play a critical role in supplying electricity to homes, businesses, and industries across Canada and the United States. To ensure the seamless operation of these facilities, various standards and codes are in place, with ASME B31.1 being one of the most important. In this article, we'll explore how Little P.Eng. Engineering specializes in piping stress analysis and supports design for power plants, adhering to ASME B31.1 guidelines. We'll delve into the significance of this expertise and its impact on power plant operations across North America.

Understanding ASME B31.1

ASME B31.1, officially titled "Power Piping," is a widely recognized standard developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This standard provides guidelines for the design, construction, inspection, and maintenance of piping systems in power plants, including fossil fuel, nuclear, and geothermal facilities. Compliance with ASME B31.1 is mandatory for power plant operators in North America, as it ensures the safety and reliability of piping systems under various operating conditions.

The Importance of Piping Stress Analysis

Piping systems in power plants are subjected to a wide range of stresses and loads, including pressure, temperature variations, vibrations, and seismic forces. Failure to adequately analyze and address these stresses can lead to catastrophic failures, resulting in downtime, safety hazards, and financial losses. Piping stress analysis is the process of evaluating how these stresses affect the integrity of the piping system, and it is a crucial step in ensuring the reliability of power plants.

Little P.Eng. Engineering employs a team of experienced engineers who specialize in performing comprehensive piping stress analysis for power plants across Canada and the USA. Their expertise in ASME B31.1 compliance ensures that every analysis is conducted with the highest level of precision and adherence to industry standards.

NASA, Pentagon award contract to build nuclear-powered rocket engine

From The Washington Post - https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/26/nuclear-rocket-contract-nasa-darpa/ :

"Lockheed Martin on Wednesday won a contract to build a nuclear thermal rocket engine, a key technology long coveted by both NASA and the Pentagon that could dramatically speed up space travel and help humans get to Mars. Under the contract, issued by NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Defense Department unit that seeks to develop transformative technologies, Lockheed Martin will work to first fly the engine by 2027. If the company meets all the milestones, including the test flight, it will receive nearly $500 million, with half coming from NASA and half from DARPA. NASA is keenly interested in nuclear thermal power for missions to Mars."

"Nuclear thermal power uses a fission-based nuclear reactor to heat hydrogen to an extremely high temperature and then shoot the gas through an engine nozzle to create thrust. Lockheed Martin said that for safety reasons, the reactor would not be turned on until the spacecraft has reached a safe orbit."

lore written by Ccmaci:

She used to be your typical low brow Karen, but then she tripped into the rabbit hole of really fringe conspiracy. She didn't trust America to train her for the coming thermal nuclear crisis cause they put steroids in the military's food that down the line will turn their children into sleeper-agent-zombies, and she doesn't go to foreign governments because when you get your picture taken for a passport, the flash from the camera imprints your Social Security Number into your brain, a number she believes decodes the subluminal messaging in fast-food commercials that make you want to not question the yearly 0.50 cent price raises for a burger (burgers which are laced with micro-pathogens that cause you to love the concept of being called in for jury duty, obviously).

The only place that was safe place to acquire military training was [insert fake county name here], a legally unrecognized country off the coast of Alaska, with a population of less than 200 people. Obviously, all boats are rigged with ice-berg attracting magnets which go off incase an American hasn't had their daily intake of jury duty micro-pathogens, so swam the coast of Canada as to avoid crossing the boarder where she'd likely be asked to give the Canadian government a sample of her blood (cause we all know what horrors Canadian's can commit with 2 liters of blood from a woman born south of the global hemisphere).

Anyways, so she makes it to the unrecognized country, and thankfully they let her into their militia cause SHE GOT JACKED FROM LITERALLY SWIMMING FROM WASHINGTON TO ALASKA. Obviously she did her homework before this, and was already pretty knowledgeable on basic military concepts like rocket jumping, so this was really just to round out the edges on her proficiency's (that's what she thinks, in reality she really needed this training to be competent lol).

Sadly, after discovering the unrecognized country was literally planning thermal-nuclear-warfare, she decided to leave Alaska, which strangely after she did, all evidence of that legally-unrecognized country ceased to exist. She was later picked up by Mann-Co after being coerced into thinking that she was stopping the enemy from furthering the goals of the shadow-government-fast-food-conglomerate, and as been working with the fem-mercs ever since.

similar to how the mercs lie to normal soldier about all being american, the female mercs lie to female soldier about various beliefs like how they're totally not all vaccinated and all of the rations delivered to them are definitely not inspected by the government. shes particularly distrustful of the scout and medic, the former being a borderline material gorl, and the latter being involved with more than questionable medical practices.
