I need research paper of 3 pages about any topics in Thermodynamics.
1. Benedictine Orphanage and a new medical building in Tanzania are in need of power supply. Please design a system which provides power economically and with minimum maintenance.
2. A region in Honduras needs an economic sanitation system to protect their drinking water reservoir. Many families do not have electricity yet.
3. Wright Brothers developed a 100-horse power internal combustion engine for their airplane. They didn't have any previous experience to design engines. Please design a 300 HP. Please show that an engine with the following specification can provide about 140 HP, as an exercise.
- A 6-cylinder I.C. engine with stroke = 9.5 cm, bore = 9 cm
- Compression ratio=10
- At intake manifold p=0.8 atm, T=250K
- Fuel-to-air ratio=0.06 (by mass)
- ηmech=0.75, η=0.83
- Running at 3000 rpm
4. Other Thermodynamic design after consulting with your instructor. Examples are making ice using solar energy, air-conditioning unit by using camping fire, etc.
