Hey aero industry types, I'm not invloved with this but it is one of our core products.
The F135 engine
We produce the intermediate case and the low-pressure shaft for Pratt & Whitney's F135 propulsion system developed for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).
The F135 is an evolution of the F119-PW-100 that powers the F/A-22 Raptor. It integrates the F119 core, a high-performance six-stage compressor and single-stage turbine with a new low-pressure spool.

My wife and I run an automotive shop - oil changes,tires, minor repairs, etc. We both gave up IBM careers to do have our own business. Haven't regretted it a second - no more conference calls! At IBM I was a software development manager, test manager and senior project manager. Now I'm finally living my dream of working in the automotive field and obtaining my ASE certifications.

Fascinating thread and an interesting spread of professions.

Here is a picture of where I spend my 12 hour shifts. These are some of the main control boards in a control room of a nuclear power plant. I am a reactor operator.
My co-workers and I help ensure all those elaborate Christmas decorations have the electricity they need.

You mean they haven't integrated that entire switch board into a PLC based system where everything can be controlled from a computer screen?

Nope. We are being dragged "kicking and screaming" into the 90's. The saying we like to use is "50's components, designed in the 60's, built in the 70's operated in the 21st century".
In all fairness the cost associated with upgrading anything is pretty high because it has to meet the NRC's high standards for QA/QC. She's old but we have a dedicated staff that keeps her running in excellent shape. The old stuff works fine it's just..... Old.
When we have shutdowns I get the opportunity to speak with contractors in the industry and they all say that compared to fossil plants our plant is spotless!

Heck, I'll bet it practically runs itself.
Just kidding, that's what everybody says about airplanes, too. That's a pretty cool looking office!

The lines typically indicate process flow...

It's probably "flow" but is it necessarily "process flow?

Let see if I got this right. Nick you can spill.....
I would say Quint4, JimG and floriduramax1 are right. I call it a process schematic to follow the flow of electrons......

"Process flow" is a term used for any process... it does not define the type of process. It could be anything from aggregate in a stone plant to waste water in a treatment plant or uranium in a nuclear plant where the switches and knobs affect the flow.
I think we are all on target :thumbsup:
