Project 2 As part of your work-study program at the HTU, you successfully got selected to be trained at the Rehab power station for electrical energy generation. In the first week of your CO-OP journey the head of the department asked you to do the following tasks: Task 1 Write down the energy balance equation from the first law of thermodynamics for a closed system and then put the equation for an open system. Explain the difference between the two equations. Task 2 Apply the Steady Flow Energy Equation to compressor, turbine, boiler, pipe, mixing chamber and condenser. Task 3 Discuss the following scenarios: a) Consider an air compressor that operate under the same conditions over long period of time. How would you compare the volume flow rates of the air at the inlet and exit of the compressor? b) Do you think that the temperature of air will rise as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor? Explain c) Do you think that the temperature of air will drop as it undergoes a steady flow throttling process? Explain.

Scenario 1:You work as a design engineer in SpaceX which is a space exploration company that produces re-usablespace rockets. Space rockets in the past used to be disposable, the fact that they only serve for one timethen get lost in the space. SpaceX proposed a re-usable rocket, that can go to outer space, deliver someequipment, satellites, or even people to the outer space, and get back to earth to land again in a specifiedparking point. Where it can be re-fuelled, go through careful maintenance, and go through anotherjourney again. You are regularly requested by your manager to provide technical reports andtheoretical explanations about the main components and operational concepts related to these spaceshuttles. [https://www.spacex.com/]Task 1:Concerned with the number of maintenance visits the rocket can undergo before being out of service, you havebeen informed that the recent statics show a that after the first journey to the outer space, the rocket was sentto service once, and…

XYZ Company Ltd has consulted your firm Zig-Zag Energy over an intention to generate electricity in Ghana. Being the senior project engineer for Zig-Zag Energy, management has asked you to prepare a detailed technical report in respect to the project. a) Discuss the major factors to take into consideration when consulting on such projects. A tank containing air is stirred by a paddle wheel. The work input to the paddle wheels is 2000KJ and the heat transferred to the surrounding from the tank is 6000KJ. b) Determine the change in the internal energy of the system There has been a sharp differences between the board of Blue-Blue Energy over which of the energy sources (hydroelectric power plant-HEP and Coal fired plant) is best for power generation. As an energy expert, you were confronted by the debating faction for your opinion. You…
account_circle Science PhysicsQ&A LibraryA child’s toy consists of a m = 31 g monkey suspended from a spring of negligible mass and spring constant k. When the toy monkey is first hung on the spring and the system reaches equilibrium, the spring has stretched a distance of x = 17.6 cm, as shown in the diagram. This toy is so adorable you pull the monkey down an additional d = 7.6 cm from equilibrium and release it from rest, and smile with delight as it bounces playfully up and down. 1. Calculate the speed of the monkey, ve, in meters per second, as it passes through equilibrium. 2. Derive an expression for the total mechanical energy of the system as the monkey reaches the top of the motion, Etop, in terms of m, x, d, k, the maximum height above the bottom of the motion, hmax, and the variables available in the palette. 3. Calculate the maximum displacement, h, in centimeters, above the equilibrium position, that the monkey reaches. A child’s toy consists of a…
Task 4 . Investigate the effect of varying mass flow rate ( m in kg/s) of the cooling water on heat input to the compressor and heat removed by the cooling water. In order to solve this task, you have to assume different mass flow rates to investigate the relationship between mass flow rate, heat input to the compressor, and heat removed by the cooling water, you can use Matlab or EES and present your results in a graph form.
Hello, I am a mechanical engineering student and want to upload this question as I have an exam in early June about thermodynamics. I have been given a question that will help me answer my exams in June. Please could you answer showing step by step guidance on how to answer this question with the formula clearly shown. Thank you very much
Hi! Can you solve this problem ? I did not solve the problem. The course name is Heat Transfer. Thank you!
You are working in the compressor design department of a large compressor manufacturer. As the new junior engineer you have been assigned to a large project and you are responsible to do preliminary thermos-fluids design of a centrifugal air compressor that can supply (266)kg/min of air at a final delivery total pressure of 312kPa. The project manager has advised you to assume the ambient air conditions as 101.55 kPa and 26 degrees Celsius. Further you have been given boundary conditions to help you with compressor design. You must assume that the compressor runs at 19925rpm with isentropic efficiency of 90%. Also assume the is no pre-whirl at the inlet and the inlet hub diameter is 13.4cm and the air enters the impeller eye with a velocity of 158 m/s. Assume the ration of Vw2/U2 (whirl speed to tip speed is (0.804) 1. stagnation temperature in degrees clelcius and the total pressure at the inlet kPa of the compressor 2. stagnation temperature in degrees celcius at the end of…
Please provide equations that you are using so I can follow along and learn how to do this. In Jamestown, NY, a coal power plan consumes coal at a rate of 80 tons/hr. When coal burns, it generates approximately 30,000 kJ for every kg of coal burned. The cooling course for the plant is the nearby Chadakoin River nearby and, by code, the power plant cannot reject more than 13.19 x 109 MJ into the river annually. Determine the maximum average power output of this plant and it's maximum thermal efficiency. To check your work, enter the efficiency, as a decimal, in the box provided.

Tank T1 initially contains 40 gals of water in which 16.98 lb of salt is dissolved. Tank T2 initially contains 40 gals of water and 3.92 lb of salt. Tank T3 initially contains 40 gals of water and 7.13 lb of salt. The inflow into T1 is 2 gal/min pure water from the outside and 2 gal/min brine from T2. The outflow from T1 to T2 is 4 gal/min.The inflow into T2 is 4 gal/min from T1 and 2 gal/min from T3. The outflow from T2 to T1 is 2 gal/min and from T2 to T3 is 4 gal/min. The inflow into T3 is 4 gal/min from T2. The outflow from T3 to T2 is 2 gal/min and from T3 to outside is 2 gal/min, as shown in the figure. The mixtures are kept uniform by stirring. Find and plot the salt contents y1(t), y2(t), and y3(t) in T1, T2, and T3, respectively
