02 / THE COMMON GROUND

Different heat.
Shared foundations.

The source changes. The systems still have to work together.

  1. 01

    Make heat

    A source that changes

  2. 02

    Transfer energy

    Heat a working fluid

  3. 03

    Spin a turbine

    Heat becomes motion

  4. 04

    Generate power

    Motion becomes electricity

  5. 05

    Cool & return

    Close the cycle

A common teaching model for thermal plants. Real designs use different working fluids and cycles; shared functions still need compatible temperatures, pressures, materials, and capacity.
