Finally over my mystery sickness aside from some nasty wet coughing. Doctor called it "other" virus. I also have a bunch of phenergans now. Cabinets get a bunch of work done tomorrow. We're painting them red with dark grey backing and beige countertops. It's gonna look mean in a manly, "what's color matching" sorta way. Should have them up and stable (sans drawers or doors) by the 10th when the big party you're all invited to happens. Ready to go back to work and kick some rear end and make some money.

Anyone in or near Richmond, VA should come out to my garage party on Saturday. iForge and Terrible Robot will be there, with a bunch of other AI maybes. Also like 30 local friends and 10 or 15 EvE goons. PM me for details. Also goony goon goon etc etc.

After being sick for 3/4 of my vacation, and doing almost nothing with it, I was ready to get back to work. Over the course of yesterday and today, I've had exactly 2 hours of work to do. I'm going insane just sitting here at my desk. We're normally hugely busy and going at it for 50 or 60 hours per week.

Korwen posted:Wheel bearings on my new-to-me S2k have poo poo the bed, which is pretty understandable as the car has 124k and they're probably the original ones. I've ordered new bearings, but not new rear hubs. I see a lot of people suggest I put new hubs in with the bearings, but they're $112 a piece. I've gotta buy that drat HF hydraulic press everyone has too. Oh well, I have never done bearings before. Should be interesting. Machine shop will probably do them for $20 per hub. That or find a legit mechanic friend to do them at work for you. Pressing bearings is up there on the "gently caress it" scale

Work starts today on a crazy opportunity my company set me up with, that I heard about for the first time on Wednesday. It's the area of work I want to get into, and to say this is a foot in the door is an understatement. 4 or 5 month contract and I'm making decisions that impact tens of millions of dollars for a power supplier. I'm going back and forth between equal parts ready to throw up from excitement and ready to throw up from worry. Holy gently caress. 2015 I love you. Also you guys would be super surprised how much stoichiometry a fuel-oil fired power plant has in common with a car. Adiabatic fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Jan 13, 2015 |

88h88 posted:I understand the car payment but to spend that same amount again on internet and cable tv is loving crazy to me... If I were to get the fastest internet available to me along with the largest TV package with DVR functionality and free international calls from Sky it'd be £118 a month. To be fair the cable/internet providers here in the US are horrible and have monopolistic practices without the Utility restrictions Power companies have. It's a mess and they're constantly the most despised companies on consumer satisfaction. That being said, I cut cable out and get 70/70 internet for $56/mo with Netflix adding another $12/mo.

So the stoichiometry of oil- and coal-fueled power plants has a surprising amount in common with cars, and a very surprising amount different. Anyone else think power plant boilers are cool, or have I found yet another really boring thing to sperg out on?

CommieGIR posted:I prefer my power come from nuclear heated boilers I totally do too, and you'd really like what I'm doing for this company. Look up Boiler Mercury Air Toxicity Standards (or just MATs) and that's what I'm standardizing across ~15 boilers with a steam output capable of fueling between 200 and 800 MegaWatts each. Siochain posted:I'm a huge nerd (albeit more on the "ooh big shiny" then the math of it) for any industrial-sized...anything, really. I used to love the boiler room in school as a kid, and I love getting tours of any kind of power-generating facility. So nerd out (and convert it to english for us math-poor folks) :P cursedshitbox posted:Go for it diabetic. Terrible Robot posted:I'm a gigantic nerd, and love learning about industrial stuff. Also my job has a half dozen or so steam boilers, so it'd be cool to learn a little more about them. Right now I'm using data from the PLC output to plot different emissions as they pertain to mass of oil injection, coal feed, and limestone feed. Also other random poo poo like gross MW and mass steam flow to the turbine. Using this data we're standardizing boiler startup as best we can so we can meet the EPA's restrictions on air emissions (A Good Thing TM) It's a really neat process. You use oil as starter fluid for the boiler, because the bed temp has to get up to a certain point before large amounts of coal can "roll"  Oil has a shitload of sulfur dioxide byproduct and we're trying to lessen that by making up new ways to heat the boiler bed faster so we can switch over to coal sooner.Limestone apparently does wonders for emissions and I have no clue why, but they use a bunch of it (~10% of the coal feed) and you can just watch the sulfur, NOx, and CO emissions plummet when we feed limestone. We found out yesterday, however, that Limestone will jack SO2 emissions through the roof if we feed it in before the bed is up to temperature, hence the search for faster bed heating methods. The basic air/fuel ratio is there just like in cars, but it's hard as poo poo to get right and varies wildly with solid fuels. We take for granted the ease of which octane (and other liquid fuels) burn steadily. They have a bunch of different methods of pulverizing or superheating coal to take that variability in stoichiometry in their favor, but it's still hard as poo poo. This also has the added problem of "fuel timing". Where in a car you use the throttle as air input and fuel "follows" through base-mapping or PID control (closed-loop via the O2 sensor), both the air and solid fuel have to be on PID control in a coal boiler. Temperature is super critical and there's a huge process to get it up to around 1800 degrees F and keep it stoich the entire time. And that's just the freaking tip of the iceburg. There's so much auxiliary equipment that's been added to the intake and exhaust on both the air and feedwater (think "turbocharging" on both sides of both systems, and then think intercooling/interheating as well) to make the thing more efficient and it's all as exciting as learning about how turbos work for the first time. Oh also
