1. The diagram shows a simple engine. Fuel is burnt to produce heat which raises the temperature of the gas in the cylinder; the gas expands pushing up the piston. Flywbeel Piston Crank HEAT (a) Explain why heat must be lost before the piston can come back down? (b) What energy changes take place in this engine? (c) Draw an energy flow diagram for the engine. (d) Why can't all the energy from the fuel be converted to useful work?

Task 2 A compression ignition engine operates has a compression ratio of 30 and uses air as the working fluid, the cut-off ratio is 1.5. The air at the beginning of the compression process is at 100 kPa and 30 C. If the maximum temperature of the cycle is 2000 °C. Assume cold air standard assumptions at room temperature (i.e., constant specific heat). A. Describe with the aid of diagrams the operational sequence of four stroke compression ignition engines. B. Explain the mechanical efficiency for an ideal diesel cycle of two and four stroke engines C. Explain the relationship between thermal efficiency (n), compression ratio (r), and cut-off ratio (re). D. Determine the net-work output, the thermal efficiency, and the mean effective pressure for the cycle. E. Determine the mean effective pressure (kPa) and net-power output (kW) in the cycle if a two- stroke engine is being used instead of a four-stroke engine.
Convert the total kilowatts per year for all appliances into equivalent amounts (pounds) of oil burned to generate this energy. (It takes about 5.4 pounds of fuel oil to generate one kilowatt of energy. So, pounds of fuel oil per year = kilowatts per year * 5.4) __________________ Pounds fuel oil per year
a.Draw a schematic diagram with labels of states of a substance; b.For uniformity purposes, assign STATE 1 at the inlet of a high-pressure turbine. The states must be arranged in a chronological order; c.Plot each cycle in a t-s diagram with the states consistent to the states assignment in the schematic diagram; d.Show a detailed solution. Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with a single open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12MPa, 500 0C, and expands to 0.3MPa where some steam is extracted and fed to the feedwater heater. The remainder expands through the second-stage turbine and exits at the condenser pressure of 0.01 MPa. Saturated liquid at 0.3 MPa leaves the open feedwater heater. If the net power output of the cycle is 100 MW,and the turbine stages and pumps are isentropic, determine (a) the thermal efficiency, and(b) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first turbine, in kg/h.

Fourth task:During a visit to a factory, I came across a compressor and a compressed air networkUsed to operate a number of compressed air systems. The following notes were collected:• The compressor is relatively old.• The compressor room was very hot.• The compressor room was relatively close to the compressed air systems• The pressure at the outlet of the compressor was 8 bar.• The pressure in the pneumatic systems reached 7.5 bar.• Compressor on/off cycles every 40-55 seconds.Prepare a short, high-level recommendation note about actions that can be taken immediately, and measurements you might plan to assess potential energy savings opportunities.
