1.1 What is a heat engine? In thermodynamics, a heat engine is a device/system that uses heat to do work, i.e. it converts heat or thermal energy to mechanical energy. 1.2 How does a heat engine work and its operating principles? For a heat engine to work, it must operate in cycles. Firstly, heat is added into the system. Let the heat added into the system be represented by [Qh]. After that process, some of the energy that were added into the system will be used to do work e.g the…
velocity passing through the pipe on the performance were studied. The air temperature at the inlet of EAHE was selected fixed at 40 ℃. It is fixed at this value because the average maximum temperature for the selected rejoin is about 40 ℃. The pipe of heat exchanger is in PVC and its thickness is 5 mm. The physical and thermal properties of air, pipe…
Sodha et al. cite{sodha1984investigations} experimented a SAH with glazed and blackened rectangular metallic tray filled with water. The air was allowed to pass underside of this tray, exchanging heat stored. It yielded an outlet temperature ranged from 33degree C to 61degree C. Bhargawa et al.cite{bhargava1985investigation} theoretically and experimentally investigated a double glazed SAH in series with rock bed collector cum storage unit. The…
For example, heat exchange network development from the embryonic stage or retrofit of current systems are one of the challenges of chemical engineering nowadays. Heat exchange network design might have various objective functions, such as minimum utility costs, minimum investment costs or minimization of the number of possible matches in the configuration. To address these challenges, optimisation tools and techniques can be applied. The problem needs to be decomposed…

What does specific heat 900 J of heat needs to be supplied to 1 kg of aluminium 900 J kgof aluminium to produce a 1 °C -1 1 °C mean? temperature increase. 5. What does specific heat 4 200 J of heat needs to be supplied to 1 of water 4 200 J kg-1°C-1 kg of water to produce a 1 °C temperature mean? increase. 6. The physical When two objects of equal mass are heated at meaning of equal rates, the object with the smaller specific specific…
Case Study 1: 1.The most likely cause of the ABO typing discrepancy in the reverse type is due to “unexpected antibodies” such as a cold/room temperature reacting alloantibody. 2.Since the auto control didn’t agglutinate, an alloantibody is suspected. With that being said, it needs to be one that reacts at room temperature. Furthermore, based on the antigen typing of the patient P1 is suspected to be interfering with the ABO results. The Lewis antigen was ruled out due to it being present on…
maybe, but incorrect! "Hot air" rises but "heat" can travel in any direction. That is why you can feel the heat of the cup when you place your hand to the side of it. Radiant energy transfer is caused by a warm surface giving up its heat to a cooler surface. Whenever there is a temperature difference between two surfaces, both surfaces will attempt to equalize. Radiant energy travels through space without heating the space itself. It only turns into heat when it contacts a cooler surface. Our…
light energy, to produce sugars that are assembled into glucose, which is a type of chemical energy. The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy transformations are inefficient because every reaction loses some energy to the surroundings as heat. An everyday illustration of the second law of thermodynamics is if you ate an energy…
3.3.2. Initial and Boundary Conditions. The pipe is subject to atmospheric pressure Po at time zero this represented initial condition . Boundary condition represented as at the pipe inlet profiles, uniform pressure Pinlet and its value change with concentration of nanofluid [φ%] and inlet temperature T0 = 60 ºC can be measured for all experimental . On the pipe wall, the pressure was atmospheric pressure Po . Moreover, flow and thermal fields are assumed symmetrical with respect to…
presented experimental results concerning mechanical characteristics of friction-welded joints in comparison with electron beam welded joints, made by 20VNiMoCr120 heat-resistant steel, which are part of some elements working at high pressure and temperature. The paper represents a study which suggests non-conventional welding and heat-treatment procedures for water and steam-supply pipes, large cylindrical recipients with high values of wall thickness, boiler pipes, steam turbines which compose…
