5. A Wankel engine (Figure 12-16) uses triangular rotors in a specially shaped combustion chamber to replacethe traditional piston and cylinder. As the rotor turns, each of its three sides goes through a four-step cycle.During the intakestroke, fresh air ismixed with fuelas it is drawn intothe engine. Therotor then sealsoff the fuel-airmixture and com-Figure 12-16Problem 12-5IntakeCompressionPowerExhaustmences to com-press it. In thepower stroke, the spark plug ignites the mixture. The burning gases expand, adding momentumto the rotor. As the rotor completes its cycle, the burned gases leave the engine through the ex-haust port, and the cycle begins over again.From the above description of a Wankel engine, identify the four thermodynamic processes that drive thisdevice. Can you identify the cycle (Otto, Diesel, Carnot, and so on)?

I need help on this assignment: Exhaust gases from the turbine of a simple Brayton cycle are quite hot and may be used for other thermal purposes. One proposed use is generating saturated steam at 110℃ from water at 30℃ in a boiler. This steam will be distributed to several buildings on a university campus for space heating. A Brayton cycle with a pressure ration of 6 is to be used for this purpose. Plot the following:(a) The mechanical power produced,(b) the flow rate of the produced steam,(c) the maximum cycle temperature, all as functions of the rate at which heat is added to the cycle.

DIESEL ENGINE WITH WHR BOILER PROBLEM: A WHR(waste-heat-recovery) boiler is used to recover the heat from the exhaust gases of a 1250 hp Diesel engine. The engine is an 8-cylinder, 16” x 12”, 300 rpm having an exhaust gas temperature of 750 °F. It is operated most of the time at 80 % of its capacity with a fuel consumption of 0.40 lb/hp hr. Ambient room temperature is 82 °F. If the exhaust gas leaves the boiler at 40 °F higher than the temperature of the steam generated at 60 psia, D and S, and if jacket water at 150 °F is used for boiler feed, sketch the set-up and estimate the amount of steam produced. Assume a boiler efficiency of 75 %. Note: Please include the units. Thank you!

Provide a complete given and computation. Include all the decimals. In a reheat cycle steam at 8.0 MPa and 485C enters the turbine and expands to 1.4 MPa. At this point, the steam is withdrawn and passed through a reheater. It re-enters the turbine at 1.3 MPa and 720°C. Expansion now occurs to the condenser pressure of 0.006 MPa.For the cycle and 1 kg of steam determine (a)the steam flow for an engine and (b) For the engine output of 40,000kW.
