Offroad Vehicle Competition
You and your friends are travelling to a race meet for an offroad vehicle competition. The offroad vehicle
(ATV) is being towed on a trailer by a truck (black) and the rest of your team is travelling in a passenger
car (white). Upon arrival, you unload the vehicle and setup a diesel generator with a shaft output drive
that will provide power to your team during the event. You also unpack your tools including a socket
wrench with an angled drive for turning difficult-to-reach bolts on the ATV.

Missing Bearing
(12 points)
After the first test run on the course, the ATV experienced a wheel bearing failure and needs a new
bearing to compete. After searching for the spare bearing you find that it is missing. Instead you find a
different bearing with an inner diameter of 38.10 mm ± 0.15
mm. If the ATV’s drive shaft that must be
installed in the bearing has an outer diameter of 37.70 mm ± 0.20 mm, will the bearing always fit over the
shaft with no interference? What are the maximum and minimum gaps between the bearing and shaft?

The mission profile for a 4-engine jet aircraft consists of the following segments:
engine start and warm-up, taxi, take-off, climb to an altitude of 20000 ft followed by
a cruise distance of R₁ nm at 350 kts, climb to an altitude of 35000 ft, followed by a
cruise distance of R2 nm at 450 kts descent to 10000ft followed by one hour loiter
and flight to an alternate airport at R3 nm distance both at 250 kts, descent to landing
approach condition followed by the final landing, taxi and shutdown. The total
distance during the cruise segments and flight to an alternate airport is restricted to
a maximum of 5100 nm. Based on the existing manufacturers' data you may use the
information provided in Table QA-1.

A heat engine draws 14 kW of heat from a reservoir at 900 K. The work it produces drives
a refrigerator which produces a refrigeration capacity of 12 kW. Both devices reject heat to
a reservoir at 300 K. What is the lowest possible temperature of the space cooled by the
refrigerator?

Problem: Mathematics in Wind Energy Production
Wind power is defined as the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical force
to generate electricity. Wind power is an alternative to burning fossil fuels, and is renewable and
produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
Modern horizontal-axis wind turbines often use three blades.
Theoretically, the maximum power P (unit: watts) that a three-blade wind
turbine can extract from the wind power can be calculated as:
Blade
1.
%3D
(Equation 1)
dɔzayd² = d
where p is the air density (kg/m'), A is the sweep area of the turbine (m²)
and can be calculated from the length of the turbine blades, and v is the
wind speed (m/s). C, is the power coefficient that is unique to each
turbine type. This coefficient represents the amount of kinetic energy
from the wind that is captured by the turbine. From the Betz's limit law
we know that the best power conversion possible is Cp,max = 0.59.

An aerospace engineer is volunteering as a mentor for a high school team competing in a national contest to build a robot that straightens boxes. The plan was to help the students on weekends for at most eight to ten hours. As the national competition nears, the robot’s motor overheats, and the engine burns out. He wants to help the dispirited students and believes his mentoring commitment requires he do more. But doing so would involve additional evening work that could potentially harm his work, if not his family.

Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1.
You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating.
Natural gas BTU: 1,028 Btu per cubic foot
Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon
Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu
Oil BTU = 71512440 Btu
The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating.
2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu.
Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…

Part 1: Do the Analysis of the Ocean Thermal Gradient Power Plant shown
below. Your Analysis will be easier to do in EES but it is up to you. Your
EES program must be well documented and documentation in your code
should reference system sketches. (The cycle and individual components)
These sketches are done on attached engineering or typing paper, unless
you are able to draw them in EES. You must validate your results with hand
calculations on engineering paper that invoke the 1 and 2 Law from the
perspective of the entire cycle, not the individual components. Of course,
a system sketch is required.
