please rephrase/ rewrite this paragraph and you can add your own ideas

''Power plants all across the country are connected to each other through the electrical system. These power stations are responsible for generating electricity for many homes and buildings which are all interconnected through the network of wires we refer to the electrical grid. The methods in use for generating electricity varies with location or power station preference but, then main two ways are fossil fuels and gas. Other methods include nuclear power, hydroelectric generations, wind turbines, magnetic coils and more recently solar power. One way to look at electricity in cities is as one large body of water spilling into small pond. The network of ponds is actually a continent sized network of high voltage power lines and the houses, businesses, and factories get electricity from that grid. Until recently, electric energy could not be stored in the grid. The pond analogy also works at it suggests that water flow one direction. The electric current in the grid is alternating current, meaning it rapidly switches directions. However, the overall power itself flows from plants to house the same way water would flow from a stream into a small ponds. The large stream contributes to the one network of ponds, and all houses draw from the same network. This is how it works with power plants, the electric grid, and the houses using electricity. The electrical charge goes through high voltage transmission lines that stretch across the country. The voltage is lowered so it can be sent onto smaller power lines. It travels through distribution lines to neighborhoods, where smaller pole top transformers reduce the voltage again to make the power safe to use in our homes. There are also transformers at work on the other end. Their job is to drop the voltage back down to safer and more usable levels. A meter is used to measure how much each family uses. The electricity goes to service panel in your basement or garage, where breakers or fuses protect the wires inside your house from being overload. The electricity travels through wires inside the walls to the outlets and switches all over your house.''

Calculate the temperature of a planet. A star has a surface temperature of 4000K and a radius of R = 8 × 108 m It has a rocky, airless planet orbiting it at a distance of 1.0×1011 meters. The planet has a radius of 5.0 × 106 m. We will estimate 1 for all objects. (a) What is the total power output of the star?

(b) What is the power incident on each square meter at distance to the planet (i.e. on an imaginary sphere).

(c) How much power is absorbed by the planet? (Assume the planet is black. Use the fact that the planet looks like a disk.)

(d) In equilibrium, Pin = Pout. How much power does the planet radiate per square meter of surface area of the planet?

(e) What is the temperature of the planet? (Should humans try to live there?)

A solid, uniform cylinder with mass 8.25 kg and diameter 10.0 cm is spinning with angular velocity 245 rpm on a thin, frictionless axle that passes along the cylinder axis. You design a simple friction-brake to stop the cylinder by pressing the brake against the outer rim with a normal force. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the brake and rim is 0.344.

In our review of fluids this week, particularly of fluids in motion, we have come across 3 important rules that govern that motion: the continuity equation, Bernoulli's principle, and Poiseuille's principle.

Please give an example for each one. Also, can you find/see the importance of these rules, fluid motion in general, in your field of study?
