WT!Energy_Center_of_Excellence

# Energy Center of Excellence Minnesota West Community & Technical College — **generation, transmission, utilities, and renewables**. One of the eight Minnesota State Centers of Excellence, run through both spines: [[PORTAL_Acoustics]] and [[PORTAL_WT!Thury_Hydrodynamics_Compendium]], indexed by [[PORTAL_Centers_of_Excellence]]. ## Acoustics The grid hums at 60 Hz and turbines confess imbalance in their spectra: energy work is oscillation stewardship. ### Microsims — three.js first  <p class="wt-pending"><strong>Microsim staged, not yet on the CDN.</strong> <code>Energy_conservation.html</code> is built and deploy-ready in <code>Microsims for Dissemination/</code>, but the Netlify project still serves the geometry+spintronics set only. The player is disabled until the deploy lands; the explanatory text below is unchanged.</p>   **`Energy_conservation` (three.js).** Energy sloshing between forms in 3-D — the ledger every oscillation must balance. ### Microsims — p5.js <iframe src="https://editor.p5js.org/sciencenibber/full/CN9h2kEA0" width="100%" height="480" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe> **Sound (p5.js).** 220 air particles oscillate longitudinally, making bands of compression (red) and rarefaction (blue) visible above the analytic acoustic-pressure curve. (Audio room gallery, 21 shipped.) ## Hydrodynamics Penstocks, steam loops, and convection cells: generation is hydrodynamics harnessed. ### Microsims — three.js first  <p class="wt-pending"><strong>Microsim staged, not yet on the CDN.</strong> <code>Hydrodynamics.html</code> is built and deploy-ready in <code>Microsims for Dissemination/</code>, but the Netlify project still serves the geometry+spintronics set only. The player is disabled until the deploy lands; the explanatory text below is unchanged.</p>   **`Hydrodynamics` (three.js).** The flow field as a turbine sees it: velocity triangles waiting inside the parcels.  <p class="wt-pending"><strong>Microsim staged, not yet on the CDN.</strong> <code>Vapour_pressure_of_water.html</code> is built and deploy-ready in <code>Microsims for Dissemination/</code>, but the Netlify project still serves the geometry+spintronics set only. The player is disabled until the deploy lands; the explanatory text below is unchanged.</p>   **`Vapour_pressure_of_water` (three.js).** Where liquid becomes working vapor — the boiler's operating point, explorable. ### Microsims — p5.js <iframe src="https://editor.p5js.org/sciencenibber/full/XyMhYXxqj" width="100%" height="480" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe> **rayleigh-benard-convection (p5.js).** One of the 15 published hydrodynamics sims — this Center's assigned fluid station. <iframe src="https://editor.p5js.org/sciencenibber/full/FrVY75N0P" width="100%" height="480" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe> **phase-diagram-of-water (p5.js).** One of the 15 published hydrodynamics sims — this Center's assigned fluid station. ## Article links [[Energy]] · [[Electric_power_transmission]] · [[Oscillation]] · [[Thermodynamics]] · [[Electrical_grid]]  *Both craft standards apply here — [[WT!Three_js_Microsim_Master_Class|three.js]] and [[WT!P5_js_Microsim_Master_Class|p5.js]].*  ## Wikipedia : Wikitube **Strict pair:** (WT! local — no Wikipedia twin) : [Wikitube](https://en.wikitube.io/wiki/WT!Energy_Center_of_Excellence) ## Previous hub tags `Centers_of_Excellence` · `Life_Physics` — carried from the legacy CoE portal structure; spine crossings: [[PORTAL_Acoustics]] · [[PORTAL_WT!Thury_Hydrodynamics_Compendium]].
