Two Shaft Gas Turbine Lab Report

3. Use the buttons on the heater to change the temperature of the gas. The volume of the gas will change in response to the temperature change. Notice that the container is sealed and the pressure is adjusted so that it remains constant. Measure and record the volume and temperature of the contained gas.

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effect of temperature on the volume of gas when the pressure is consistent and to verify Charles’ Law. The data from the experiment reveals that as temperature increases, so does volume. This also indicates that as temperature decreases, the volume decreases as well.

6. Select the lab book and click on the data link for Ideal Gas 1. In the Data Viewer window, select all the data by clicking on the Select All button and copy the data using CTRL-C for Windows or CMD-C for Macintosh. Paste the data into a spreadsheet program and create a graph with volume on the x-axis and pressure on the

To learn about the laws of thermodynamics and use thermodynamics formulas to calculate heat transfer

5.Position gas collecting hose so it runs from reaction vessel through gas collecting box to opening of the graduated cylinder. The idea is that any gas coming through the tube will rise in the graduated cylinder and displace the water in it.

Governing of equations includes the equations related to first law of thermodynamics for steady flow processes within a control volume with multiple inlets and outlets. It can be expressed through the mass and energy rate balance equations. The mass balance equation for each component of the power plant is presented in Eq. 1.

Conduct a test to determine if the mean heat rate of gas turbines augmented with high-pressure inlet fogging exceeds 10,000 kJ/kWh. Use α = .05. (data for this question (GASTURBINE.sav) is in the CD accompanying the text book. This is also provided in the D2L content area in Module 3, Assessment section. Note that here we are interested in the heat rate only.) Do not forget to state the hypothesis.

Providing a proper equation of state for each phase has a crucial role in the numerical simulation of compressible liquid-vapor two-phase flows. Furthermore, these equations of state are required to be thermodynamically consistent, computationally cost effective and as accurate as possible, however, determining the constant parameters in these equations for any fluid type should not be cumbersome. In this paper, an equation of state is obtained for the liquid phase by Taylor expansion of internal energy about a reference point. By employing thermodynamic relations, other thermodynamic properties such as enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs function are obtained. Subsequently, this equation of state for the liquid phase is associated with a stiffened gas equation of state for the vapor phase which is proven to have a acceptable accuracy for the gases.

There is a coupling effect between the two systems when the Brayton cycle is operated at part load. The coupling occurs due to two constraints; helium must be cooled to its design point temperature after passing through the heat exchanger and the temperature of steam entering the turbine must be maintained at its design point temperature. The solver calculates the new mass flow rate of water required to cool the helium. The change in mass flow rate of steam due to the reduction of Brayton cycle mass flow rate causes a change in the Rankine cycle power output.

Further assuming that there is no heat transfer (Q) into the fluid, as well as no work (W_sh) being produced, the equation simplifies to:

Even the highest quality carburetors can wear out for various reasons. The key is to learn to recognize the signs of a struggling carburetor before it completely goes out and stops working altogether. Some initial signs that the carburetor might need some maintenance are when the engine begins to hesitate or stall. Another clear sign that the machine might be in trouble is if it has a hard time starting, or if it starts with a cloud of black smoke. Fortunately for users of the Tecumseh 10 hp Carburetor, rebuilding it is really easy when following a few simple steps.

In experiment 10, the class was asked to demonstrate the basics of gas laws in order to understand the peeled egg Erlenmeyer flask demonstration. This experiment helps demonstrate Boyle’s Law and Amontons’ law for the class to gain an understanding of related gas laws for our thermodynamic knowledge.

After that, 0.1 ml of solution in Tube 4 was poured into plate 1A, the solution was spread over the surface evenly. These steps were repeated using 1ml from Tube 5 - plate 1B, 0.1 ml from Tube 5- plate 2A, 1 ml from tube 6 - plate 2B, 0.1ml from tube 6 - plate 3A, from tube 7 - plate 3B.

The main objective was to demonstrate the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy cannot be destroyed or created, therefore, it has to be conserved in one form or another during a thermodynamic process. For this reason, two traveling cars were used along a low slope slide to harness gravitational potential energy between two points and see it transformed into kinetic energy.
