Design of Fluid-Thermal Systems (leaf blower)

The leaf blower shown operates steadily and discharges air at the exit velocity of 180 ft/s. Assuming that the discharge pipe is of constant diameter with f = 0.02, that the minor losses at the blower inlet are Kinlet=1.3 and that the air density is rho=0.0735 lbm/ft3 , A) Estimate the total pressure increase across…

Air Distribution System Design

Air distribution systems comprise air handlers, ductwork, and related components used for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in buildings. When designing an air distribution system (air conditioning system) for industrial spaces you should prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment with minimal health risks for workers. The indoor climate design of an industrial hall should…

Design of a Fuel Supply System

Background and Theory The purpose of this design project is to complete a piping system to supply kerosene to 3 burners that each has a different required flow rate. This tank must be 12ft lower than the burners and these burners are located inside the building above. The floor plan is shown below in Figure…

Design of a Power Plant Cooling System

Background The purpose of this design project is to design a cooling system for a power plant, which includes designing a heat exchanger and a piping system from the river to the condenser to cool the superheated steam from the Rankine cycle. The Rankine cycle produces 1.4MW of power from the steam turbine.  The average…
