Steam Conference

10 November 2012, Dudley, United Kingdom


Introduction
This lecture is for ChemNet Members.
It's the 300th anniversary of the Newcomen Steam Engine but why should we celebrate, and what's it got to do with ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº? Well - where to start? Steam engines revolutionised the industrial world, they allowed larger scale mining, electricity generation, transport...... As for the ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº: metals, fuels, lubricants, welding and the larger scale power generation allowed for larger scale mineral extraction and as our natural resources dwindle chemists pitch their wit to generate steam in other ways. Through a series of exhibitions and activities you will find out about how steam technology played, and still plays an integral part in our modern lives.
