Chapter 265: Woman in Man's Clothes - Technology in the 70s and 80s 19



Chapter 265: Woman disguised as man and engaged in technology in the 1970s and 1980s

Jiang Lan’s reputation has spread thoroughly, and all the major state-owned factories are eagerly looking at him, waiting for him to come and provide technical guidance.

His series of actions have caused other companies to be full of expectations for students from Tsinghua University, which has put a lot of pressure on students of the same grade.

But they really want to say that they are different from Jiang Lan.

Not every student from Tsinghua University is Jiang Lan, and everyone is really not as amazing as him.

Faced with the olive branches extended by countless companies, Jiang Lan hesitated again and again and decided to go to the power plant next. After all, energy is also a big deal.

Due to geographical reasons, Kyoto mostly uses thermal power generation, that is, generating electricity by burning coal.

China is rich in coal resources, which provides a foundation for thermal power generation, but at the same time, pollution problems also come with it, and smoke pollution and dust pollution are very serious.

In the 1970s, everyone had a concept of environmental protection.

However, the development task was heavy, and the environment could only be sacrificed to meet economic needs.

"Student Jiang, our biggest problem now is that we think the energy consumption of coal-fired power generation is too high. I heard that the energy conservation of thermal power generation in Neon is very good, and it only consumes more than 500 grams of standard coal to generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity."

The engineer of the power plant was much more direct than the engineer of the steel plant before. He raised such a difficult question right away. He regarded him as a savior.

"Engineer Zhang, you really think highly of me. I can't guarantee that I can solve the problem, I just want to study it and see if it can be improved."

Jiang Lan should not be too confident, so he kept a low profile.

"It's okay, it's okay. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Jiang, don't put too much pressure on yourself and don't get too tired."

In the following days, Jiang Lan continued to work with the workers in the factory as usual, recording the data of the generator, the amount of energy consumed, and the power generation situation.

In the data room of the power plant, there are relevant unit data, and Jiang Lan would go in and take a look when he had nothing to do.

Then, based on these data, he made some simple records in his notebook.

Steam turbines can be divided into single-shaft steam turbines and double-shaft steam turbines according to their layout. This one is a single-shaft steam turbine. For a single-

shaft unit, the larger the capacity, the longer the shaft, and the longer the diameter of the turbine blade. Under the premise that technical conditions such as materials and cooling measures are determined, increasing the diameter to increase the generator capacity will be restricted by the mechanical strength of the blade material. Compared with a single-shaft turbine, Jiang Lan thinks that a double-shaft unit would be better. The double-shaft unit has good operating stability, small average dynamic and static clearance between the blades and shaft seals, high efficiency, and good economy, which makes up for the defects of a single shaft. Jiang Lan believes that it would be a better solution to change the cylinders arranged on a single shaft to be arranged on two parallel shaft systems, each driving a generator. "The dual-shaft, high-low steam turbine generator layout can reduce pipeline investment, pressure loss and heat loss, thereby improving thermal efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the unit..." Jiang Lan muttered, and then wrote his thoughts in his notebook. The generator equipment is too large, and the entire unit is imported from abroad. There is no supporting laboratory in the factory, and he has no place to do experiments. Adhering to the principle that since he is here, he must make some contribution. Jiang Lan checked everything again and found all the loose parts of the unit. He still felt that it was not enough. The generator thing probably wouldn't be that fast, but he felt that he could work on the fuel. Jiang Lan built a simple refining pool that can remove some pollutants from the original coal. This not only improves the purity of the coal, but also reduces some of the pollution. In addition, the preservation of coal in the power plant is also a problem. Coal is prone to spontaneous combustion, which will bring huge safety hazards. Jiang Lan has formulated several relevant safety measures based on the spontaneous combustion tendency of coal. For example, detailed regulations have been made for the amount of coal placed, the location of coal placement, and when to store coal. There are also some subsequent power generation unit design plans, as well as machine design plans for pollutant treatment. Jiang Lan put the paper and diagrams in a brown paper bag and found an opportunity to give it to the director of the power plant. He was not afraid of others encroaching on his scientific research results. After all, he only submitted an idea, not complete experimental data. Jiang Lan was very confident that no one except him could restore this set of things. The factory director also attached great importance to this matter and quickly submitted the data. Within a few days, Jiang Lan's workplace was moved from the power plant to the laboratory of the Academy of Sciences. Energy is also a national project. After evaluation by many experts and scholars, the idea proposed by Jiang Lan was considered to be very feasible, so the project was directly established. As the initiator and main person in charge of the experiment, Jiang Lan naturally had no shirking his responsibilities. This experiment was conducted in secret. By the time Jiang Lan completed this series of designs, the time span had already spanned to the 1980s. This year, he successfully designed a new generation of thermal power generators. This type of thermal power generator only consumes 50 grams of standard coal to generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity, which greatly saves coal resources. It is no exaggeration to say that this thermal power generator will still be the top one even after another 50 years, and it can completely beat any country in the world. Jiang Lan's invention contribution is now enough to deserve the title of "national scholar". Jiang Lan is still a sophomore student at National Tsing Hua University on the surface, but his scientific research results are already better than many tutors in the school. For this student, the leaders of National Tsing Hua University are also struggling with how to make better arrangements. It is obviously very unreasonable to let him continue to be a student. Not to mention an undergraduate student, even a doctoral student would be a bit of a waste of talent. "Why not hire him as a professor at National Tsing Hua University and have him give lectures when he's free?" "That's a good idea. Jiang Lan has a wealth of theoretical knowledge and his own theoretical system, which should be promoted."

Just like that, Jiang Lan, a 19-year-old boy, became a professor of the Department of Power Machinery and Engineering at National Tsing Hua University, and also the youngest professor in the professor team of National Tsing Hua University. Jiang Lan

himself was actually very confused. He obviously studied in the Department of Physics, so why was he hired as a professor of the Department of Power Machinery and Engineering?

But these are not important. The Department of Physics is just a general term, and there are actually many subdivisions. The

Department of Power Machinery and Engineering is not impossible. He and Professor Liu became colleagues in an instant.

The benefits that National Tsing Hua University provides to professors are still good. In addition to fixed wages, there are also dormitory allocations. The dormitories for faculty and staff are arranged inside the school.

Jiang Lan has been busy for so long that he has never lived in the newly bought house for a day.

Now that it is empty, he remembered that he still has a courtyard mansion that is still idle.
