Estimating Electric Motor Operating Cost Per Year When determining the operating cost of a project, it is important to remember motor operating costs. To determine these costs by using the following formula: EMOC/YR = (HP) (%FL) (0.746 HP KW) ($/KWH) (HRS/YR)/MOTOR EFFICIENCY Where ·                      Estimated Motor Operating Cost per Year = EMOC/YR ·                      Motor Horsepower = HP ·                      Motor Percentage of Full Load = %FL ·                      Horsepower to KW factor = 0.746 ·           ...

Quite often in the context of S.T.E.M (Science. Technology. Engineering. Math), you might read stories or see initiatives from the standpoint of the S.T.E.M working professionals, students, mentors, affinity groups, etc. However, very seldom might you have an opportunity to hear from a S.T.E.M impacted Business Owner, more specifically, a Black Woman Business Owner, with over 30 years of experience. As is the case with Mrs. Icy Williams. Through writing this blog, I came to realize, in comparison, how little visibility there is around the Business Owners of S.T.E.M impacted markets and wondered, how we as a society could do better in recognizing and learning from this wealth of knowledge that seemingly goes unnoticed. With this in mind, I took a particular interest in learning more about Icy Williams' journey, including lessons learned, from the perspective of  Owning S.T.E.M. Cincinnati, Ohio, based  ATMOS360  is an Engineering, Design...
