5 Amazing fact about MRI Scanner

By
1)
Due to the powerful magnets, any metal objects left in the room can be pulled towards the magnet and can harm patients. Examples have included oxygen cylinders and chairs.

2)
 Pacemakers were absolute contraindications to MRI scans. However, modern pacemakers and implantable defi brillators are being designed to be ‘MRI safe.’

3)
 MRI scans can be combined with PET scans. These PET-MRI scans produce anatomical and functional images, such as assessing for extent of tumour growth and tumour activity.

4)
 The coils of the superconducting magnets are cooled to lower their resistance. Liquid helium cools them to near absolute zero – around -270˚C.

5)
 Mobile MRI scanners can go to where the patients are. They are based in big articulated lorries and can be stationed outside hospitals to provide extra scanning capacity.

How Energy conversion from coal is done?

By
Single generator sets of over 600 MW are now used in the UK, though there are many smaller generators in use. A 600 MW generator can supplythe average needs of over 1 million UK households. Three or four such generators are typically installed in a single large coal-fired station which isoften sited close to a coal mine, away from the city dwellers who consume the electricity. Such generators are usually driven by a compound arrangement of highpressure, intermediate-pressure and low-pressure turbines, increasing in size as the pressure decreases. Modern turbines rotate in a speed range from 1500 to 3500 r.p.m., usually 3000 r.p.m. for the UK’s 50 Hz system. For large coal-fired plant the steam pressure could be 25 megapascals (MPa) with steam temperatures of 500–600 °C to improve the thermodynamic efficiency. In nuclear reactors, which operate under less demanding conditions, the steam is superheated to about 5 MPa and 300 °C. Modern water tube boilers are complex and have ...

5 TOP FACTS LIGHTHOUSES

By
1  The builder of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Sostratus – disobeying orders from the pharaoh Ptolemy – engraved his name and a dedication to the sea gods on the tower base. Fame 2  The technical term for the study of lighthouses is ‘pharology’, a word derived from Pharos, the island upon which the great Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood. Academia 3  George Meade built many notable lighthouses in the US during the classical lighthouse period. He is remembered in history as the winning general in the Battle of Gettysburg. War 4  The tallest lighthouse in the world is the Yokohama Marine Tower in Yokohama, Japan. The structure fl ashes alternately green and red every 20 seconds. Tallest 5  Originally lighthouses were lit merely with open fi res, only later progressing through candles, lanterns and electric lights. Lanterns tended to use whale oil as fuel.
