ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS FOR YEAR I ELECTRICAL 1 INTRODUCTION AND THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS All living things depend on energy for survival‚ and modern civilizations will continue to thrive only if existing sources of energy can be developed to meet the growing demands. Energy exists in many forms‚ from the energy locked in the atoms of matter itself to the intense radiant energy emitted by the sun. Many sources of energy exist: many are known‚ some perhaps unknown; but when

developed: In the first approach‚ the engine captures the heat lost from the four-stroke Otto cycle or Diesel cycle and uses it to power an additional power and exhaust stroke of the piston in the same cylinder. Designs use either steam or air as the working fluid for the additional power stroke. The pistons in this type of six-stroke engine go up and down three times for each injection of fuel. There are two power strokes: one with fuel‚ the other with steam or air. The currently notable designs

reading the scale on the syringe. Procedures: 1. Take out the piston of the syringe. Put a little vaseline evenly on top of piston. Fit the piston back to the syringe. 2. Set the volume of air inside the syringe to roughly 25 cm3. 3. Connect the syringe to the Bourdon gauge with rubber tubing. Put a little vaseline on the surface of connectors before fitting in the rubber tubing. Bourdon gauge syringe rubber tubing piston 4. The Bourdon gauge should read roughly 1.0 × 105 Pa (approximately

Newcomen‚ an English blacksmith‚ invented the Atmospheric Steam Engine in 1712 with the help of John Calley. Newcomen started with a steam engine invented by Thomas Savery. Newcomen’s steam engine was different because it combined a steam cylinder with a piston‚ surface condensation‚ boiler and pumps. How James Watt Improved Steam Engines During the Industrial Revolution the Newcomen steam engine was improved by James Watt. James Watt was a Scottish inventor who made huge improvement to the Newcomen steam
