84
Q

Induced draft cooling towers

A

One or more fans located at the top of the tower. Fans draw air upward against the downward flow of water

85
Q

Dry cooling towers

A

Used where cooling water supply is unavailable or restricted. Uses a closed circuit method which eliminates contact between the water to be cooled and the coolant air. This eliminates water loss by evaporation and drift, and there is no makeup water required. Similar to an automobile radiator

93
Q

If a fan motor fails to start there may be a

A

Control issue or a motor issue

94
Q

The simple gas turbine has an

A

Upstream compressor attached to a downstream turbine, with a combustion chamber between them. The turbine draws air into a compressor and then discharging compressed air into the combustion chamber. There, fuel is added and burned, which further heats the air. The hot air expands through the turbine to provide Power about two-thirds of this power is used to drive the compressor

95
Q

The output of a gas turbine increases when

A

Operating with Inlet air of high-density. Cold air at the compressor intake produces an increase in gas turbine output

A

Improve the cycle efficiency by recovering some of the heat that would otherwise pass to waste with the exhaust gases

113
Q

Regenerator placement

A

Placed in the air flow, after the compressor and before the combustion chamber. Because of the placement, exhaust gases from the turbine heat the compressed air before it enters the combustion chamber. The compressor works most efficiently with cold air. The heat recovered from the exhaust gas reduces the amount of fuel required to produce the same load

114
Q

Combined cycle with gas turbine and steam boiler

Compression stroke

A

Inlet valve is closed and the Piston moves upward, which compresses the mixture in the combustion chamber. Near the upper end of the stroke, the spark plug is timed to ignite the mixture

140
Q

Powerstroke

A

The mixture Burns and generates a high pressure which forces the Piston down words. This downward motion forces the crankshaft to turn and produce useful power. Near the end of this stroke, the exhaust valve opens to begin the removal of burned gases from the cylinder

141
Q

Exhaust stroke

A

The exhaust valve remains open while the Piston moves upward. This pushes out most of the remaining four in the gases in preparation for the next stroke.

142
Q

Poppet valves

A

Intake and exhaust valves

143
Q

The four stroke engine is usually lubricated by

A

Oil in its crankcase, which is either pumped Under Pressure to the bearing surfaces, or splashed by rotation of the crank webs

144
Q

Piston rings

A

Limit the amount of oil entering the combustion chamber, and keep the carbon deposits to a minimum

145
Q

4 stroke spark ignition advantages and disadvantages

A

Good fuel economy, control at all speeds, and high torque at low speeds. However, they are more mechanically complex and heavier than a two stroke engine

146
Q

2 stroke spark ignition cycle

A

Noted for its simplicity. Utilizes three openings or ports in it’s cylinder walls. The openings are covered or uncovered by the piston. There are no poppet valves and no camshaft

147
Q

2 stroke spark ignition: intake and exhaust functions happen

A

Simultaneously during only a part of one stroke. The two stroke engine produces a power stroke for every crankshaft Revolution

148
Q

A 2-stroke spark ignition engine is lubricated by

A

Thoroughly mixing a measured quantity of special lubricating oil with the gasoline in the tank

149
Q

Why does a 2-stroke engine not produce twice as much power as a 4-stroke engine

A

Because it is less efficient at exhaust gas Scavenging, which is the removal of combustion products in the cylinder

150
Q

2 stroke spark ignition engines operate best at

A

High engine speeds

151
Q

Differences with diesel engine

2

A

1- fuel is injected at high pressure, directly into the engine cylinder and I finally atomized form

2- ignition takes place without a spark

152
Q

4 stroke compression ignition cycle

A

Suction stroke, compression stroke, Power Stroke, exhaust stroke

153
Q

2 stroke compression ignition cycle

A

Do not have an induction stroke, and cannot draw in adequate combustion air.

154
Q

Two most common methods of air induction and exhaust Scavenging for 2-stroke compression ignition cycle engines

A

Superchargers and turbochargers

155
Q

4 stroke diesel engine ignition

A

Use compression ignition, and have no carburetor. Fuel oil is delivered to the cylinder from a fuel injector pump and fuel injector nozzle, mixes with air in the cylinder

156
Q

The majority of stationary industrial diesel engines are started

A

With the use of compressed air. The goal is to turn the engine crankshaft which will then produce a high enough temperature in the air charge to ignite the fuel when it is injected into the cylinder

157
Q

Large diesel engines can be cooled with

A

Open or closed cooling

158
Q

Open cooling system

A

Water that circulates within the engine is sourced directly from a Lake, River, Ocean, or pond. Open systems require considerable water treatment

159
Q

Diesel closed cooling system

A

Engine coolant is recirculated, through a water or air cooled heat exchanger.
