MECH20422 10 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 2 Yasser Mahmoudi Larimi Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Middle part of Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 5.0 <p>Most of the electrical generation in the UK and in many other countries is provided by steam turbine and gas turbine power systems. Road transportation is dominated by petrol and diesel fuelled cars, trucks and buses. Gas turbine engines of various descriptions are employed to propel aircraft and ships. Refrigeration equipment is used in fridges, freezers, heat pumps and air conditioning systems.</p><p>The intended learning outcomes focus on an understanding of most of the above-named systems and the means to analyse them, in terms of their cycle representations, thermodynamic efficiencies, work/heat inputs/outputs, fuel consumptions, etc. These analyses include the heat input to these systems which comes from internal combustion of fuel in air. Steam power plant will be covered in detail in 3rd year Engineering Thermodynamics course units.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Most of the electrical generation in the UK and in many other countries is provided by steam turbine and gas turbine power systems.

Review of 1st year Thermodynamics material: in particular the important steady-flow and non-flow processes, the applications of the First and Second Laws to these and the resulting equations.</p><p>2. Simple combustion analyses to determine pollutant emissions, and use of the First Law to evaluate heat release and product gas temperatures.</p><p>3. Reciprocating engines: Otto, Diesel and dual cycles, mean effective pressures and other engine related parameters, particularly brake parameters.</p><p>4. Gas Turbine engines: Industrial and Aircraft engines. Analysis of both types, using Joule cycles. Reheat and intercooling effects. The use of heat exchangers.</p><p>5. Refrigeration equipment: Reversed Rankine cycle, flash chambers, cascade systems.</p> 0 Other 10% 1 Written exam 80% 3 Report 10% <p>Other - Assessed tutorial work</p> <p>Exams - by script viewing</p><p>Assessed tutorial work - on script plus generic feedback</p><p>Written report - on group reports plus detailed feedback sheet</p> MECH12012 Aerospace and Mechanical Thermodynamics Pre-Requisite Compulsory BEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineer BEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineer Second Year Mandatory BEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineer BEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineer Second Year Optional MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee Second Year Mandatory MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee Second Year Mandatory MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee Second Year Optional BEng (Hons) Mech Eng (Nuc Eng) BEng (Hons) Mech Eng (Nuc Eng) Second Year Mandatory MEng (Hons) Mech Eng (Nuc Eng) MEng (Hons) Mech Eng (Nuc Eng) Second Year Mandatory N eAssessment 5 Lectures 24 Practical classes & workshops 1 Project supervision 4 Tutorials 6 0 60
