I want to briefly summarize what he is talking about.
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…

A critical pump has failed unexpectedly, causing significant downtime. Meanwhile, another pump of the same type has been operating without any issues. Illustrate using a diagram the planning process that highlights the difference between a maintenance task for an asset that has failed and a maintenance task that prevents failure from occurring. (6) 2.2 You are the working at a power generation plant. Over the past six months, the plant has experienced inconsistent performance from its critical assets, resulting in occasional production losses. The maintenance team recently implemented a new maintenance strategy to address this issue. Indicate the different methods to consider when assessing the effectiveness of the maintenance strategy.
