    Convection cooling efficiency is mostly dictated by the delta in temperature between the hot and cold source. Coolant temperature in the core is in the 300C ballpark. So the river …

    Absolutely wrong. A difference of a couple degrees is not going to hamper cooling a reactor that is running at many hundred degrees. Just imagine what it would spell for your car o…

    A comprehensive video on Buran, from a Youtuber that does a lot of deep-dive on mostly cold-war tech. I personally strongly recommend his videos on the B-29 firing system[0] and tr…

    Oh nice, I was taught to write it first a “barless small-case f”, then an “infinite” in the middle.
