Turbine Paper Feedback

I just finished reading many of the drafts of the turbine papers.  My first comment drives at what is the purpose of this assignment? and my answer to this question is improved learning of turbines. 

Learning is deeper when you have to put the story of what you are learning into your own words.  What I'm trying to say here is the value is not in the product of what you turn in, but in the process of how you communicated it.

This being said, I want to encourage you to meet the requirements for this report by writing, in your own words: the description of the components and their uses; the steam flow path and energy conversions; and some background on turbines.  Overall the graphics were excellent.

One more thing, whenever you use somebody else's works, whether graphics or writing, you need to cite it in a bibliography type citation.
