Ramp rate is used in bringing a turbine up to operating temperature and is the degrees Fahrenheit rise per hour that metal surfaces are exposed to when bringing a machine to rated conditions. Manufactures specify ramp rates for their machines in order to avoid thermal stresses. Thermocouples are used in measuring metal temperatures.

ALL CAPS IS CONSIDERED SHOUTING!

By the way, would your classmates not share their notes with you? If you would Google a little bit, you could find all kinds of stuff about steam turbines, airplanes, magnets, rocks, firecrackers, horses, plants, the moon...
