Question: Consider a tlywheel storage system working on a daily cycle. The power supply received by the storage system is given by the function: W i

Consider a tlywheel storage system working on a daily cycle. The power supply received by the storage system is given by the function:
Win(t)={0fort=0cdots7and17dots242(t-7)kWfort=7cdots122(17-t)fort=12cdots17
where the time, t, is in hours (t=0 and t=24 both represent midnight, t=12 represents noon).
The power usage from the storage system is given by the function
Wout(t)={0fort=10cdots24C=constfort=0cdots10
Where C is such that the energy balance is maintained over any 24 hour period. All efficiencies are assumed to be 100%.
a) Calculate C and show on the same graph (printed, generated using software) the following 3 curves: power supply, power usage, and net power to the storage system.
b) The ratio of the maximum to the minimum energy stored in the flywheel is assumed to be EmaxEmin=6(this is a design constraint). Calculate the values for the maximum and the minimum energy stored in the flywheel Emax=?kWh,Emin=? kWh . Show on a graph the energy stored in the flywheel as a function of time for t=0cdots24 hours.
c) The flywheel is a solid disc (flat unpierced disc) with a diameter of 2 meters and is made of steel with a density of 7800kgm3 and tensile strength of 550 MPa . For the flywheel, calculate the specific energy density (Erotational,maxm), mass (m), thickness (b), maximum rotational velocity (max) and 2 minimum rotational velocity, (min).
