Question 1The coursework should be your own work and should be properly type-written in your own words. Marks will be reduced for the typo-errors and missing units. The assignment will be checked for plagiarism using TURN-IT-IN software. Any plagiarism or copying from others will be dealt through the university’s plagiarism procedures. Similarity (plagiarism) level higher than 10% in the answers are highly suspicious. Cover sheet and ass...

Task Modeling air pollution The sketch in Fig. 1 gives you the parameters you need for the problem. The downtown of Houston is approximated to be 5 km long and 5 km wide. Incoming air is assumed clean, and the emission rate of ozone is given per m2 of city surface area from cars. The top boundary can be assumed to have zero pollutant flux. Assuming these conditions have been prevalent for a long time, and assuming in the box model of the city, ...

Types of Hardness TesterIntroduction Hardness testing can be used to identify the mechanical properties of engineering materials, and unlike tensile testing which requires specific dimensions on Its test specimens, it relies on pushing a hard indenter with a known force into the surface of the materials in question. As such it is a quick test to perform on engineering materials/ products in several applications (such as quality check on the...

Question 1The Bloodhound Supersonic Car (Figure 1a) is a land vehicle that is being designed to achieve 1000 MPH and break the current speed record. The  design of the wheels is not easy, they need to withstand the enormous centrifugal forces turning at very high speed. A normal racing car  wheel will just burst. The approach is to make them of a solid machined metal (Figure 1b).   a) Show that given a traveling speed (1000 MP...

Task InstructionsThe assignment is divided into three tasks it is highly recommended that candidates attempt all of these. The assignment is intended to assesses particular methods and approaches employed by candidates [1], with a rationale for Assessment for Learning (AfL). To this end a number of workshops with instruction given in the use of Engineering Equation Solver (EES) will be conducted. The first task, accounts 20% of this assignme...

BriefBrief: Design Verification Task You are required to design a tower for an onshore wind turbine. Geometrical details for the tower as well as total mass of the nacelle and diameter of the blades are reported in table T1 for your group ID. You are asked to produce a tentative design for the tower, providing a preliminary analysis of its structural integrity and safety. A complete guideline for a rigorous analysis is provided by BS EN IEC ...

Gear Train and Joint OptionsYou are working for a company who build power transmission systems. An opportunity to take on a team lead role has become available.  In order to prepare for the interview your manager has suggested you build a small portfolio of evidence showing your capacity to perform calculations relating to power transmission and that you have an understanding of the key systems your company uses.  A) Your company ...

Question: Mini-project 4: Heat Exchangers You’ve been tasked with analyzing a new heat exchanger system for small-scale dairy farms which pre-cools the raw milk coming from the cows before entering the larger chilled storage tank. The heat exchanger is of a shell-and-tube-type with 4 shells, and within each shell there are 22 tubes each making 2 passes. The tubes are 2 m long, with an inner diameter of 8 mm, and an outer diameter of 12 mm...

Question 1: The State Postulate, Reversible Processes, and Closed SystemsAnswer the following questions using statements, proofs, calculations, or examples. No marks will be given for guesses. (i) What is the state postulate? (3)   (ii) Show that heat transfer must be done isothermally for the process to be reversible. (3)   (iii) True or false: the cyclic integral of work must be zero for any process. (Explain y...
