An engineer was tasked with evaluating a heat and power generation unit for an aluminium smelting plant. The management intends to expand the production facilities to meet growing demand for aluminium. The plan involves increasing the energy intensive smelting line from the present single line to three lines by end of 2022. To support the expansion plan, the company plans to install a self-sufficient power generation unit. Details of the energy requirement and the proposed power generation unit is given the following Table. Item Description Power requirement per smelting processing line 0.6 MW Proposed power generation unit: • Supplier • System Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd Steam power plant (Carnot heat engines principles) 35% • Overall thermal efficiency Prepare a mini technical power evaluation report for the above project. Your report should include the following items and in the following order: a. Total power (W) and heat (Q) requirement.

3.9 Global warming is being discussed. One argument is that the efficiency of all power plants will decrease because the ambient temperature will increase. In this problem, you the reader are asked to determine whether this argument is correct or a false alarm. Imagine a power plant operat- ing in cycles between the temperatures TH ~ 1300 K and T Assume that during the next 50 years T will increase by AT ~1 K. Examine Fig. 8.3 and note that nu is on an average of order 0.5 and that during 50 years n increases by An ~ 0.1. Show analytically how the efficiency of a power plant (n, not N1) varies with AT, and A nu. In 50 years, will n be greater or smaller than today? 300 K. (T)o nd hiah pro ccure

Hydro Tasmania has initiated the Battery of the Nation (BotN) strategic initiative to investigate and map out future development opportunities for the State of Tasmania to make a bigger contribution to a future National Electricity Market (NEM). The Tarraleah scheme redevelopment pre-feasibility study was undertaken through this initiative, with funding support from ARENA under the Advancing Renewables Program. For this assignment problem you will be using your knowledge of hydro power to: (1) estimate extended specifications for a new power station on the left bank of the Nive River opposite the existing power station; and (2) to reverse engineer specifications for the Pelton turbines currently installed at the Tarraleah power station. The pre-feasibility design team established basic parameters of a new power station to comprise two Francis turbines with a design flow of 20 m³/s (total 40 m³/s), a net head of 305 m and an installed capacity of ~57 MW (total 113 MW). The Tarraleah…
