Description:
Many devices, applications and process which exist in modern (or pre-modern) applications rely on thermodynamic processes which are essential to daily life but whose inner workings are often unknown to the public. The objective of this assignment is to identify such a device, application or process and describe its general technical functioning using the topics learned in ENGR 251, and if possible, using governing equations. In addition, the delivered assignment should identify and discuss related capacities (energy or power), efficiency (η) and/or performance (COP).
• Power generation (turbines, jets, steam cycles, other cycles) • Refrigeration and cryogenics • Air conditioning or process cooling • Thermal storage and renewable energy • Gas transformation, liquefication or storage • Fuel harvesting or mining • Combustion • Natural gas transport or other gases • Historical applications • Effects of any of these processes on greenhouse gases and climate change, or their alternatives Another topic of your choice may be substituted for the ones above, but it must be acceptable within the context of the class.
