THERMAL ENGINEERING COMBUSTION CHAPTER 5. Task 5: Combustion for Power Generation Analysis

THERMAL ENGINEERING COMBUSTION CHAPTER 5. Task 5: Combustion for Power Generation Analysis (12 marks) The school building is equipped with a diesel-engine electric generator. In general, the thermal cycle for diesel engines is approximately 30%. Approximately 75% of the electrical power for the building is used for the air conditioning system. Evaluate the diesel fuel requirement to operate the electrical power by the following: Briefly describe the required power for the air condition system of the building by assuming the electrical loss is approximately 5%. [CO 1] i. ii. Analyse the combustion process for a diesel cycle [CO2] iii. Develop a mathematical solution to estimate the cost of diesel for one (1) month to operate the air conditioning system and the wet cooling tower. [CO 3] Noted that: Based on the question above, please answer it with handwriting skills; do not use computer typing; write in handwriting for better understanding; and answer in a specific way.
