Problem: Find a thermal system in your daily life or area of study (refrigerator, air fryer, computer, home or apartment, hydro dam). You must look at the thermal system as a whole and not just the heating element itself. Feel free to reach out for any clarification needed or discussion of project. Requirements: - The problem must include a thermal resistant analysis of the enclosure (house walls, roof, dam wall, etc) with accurate assumptions for temperature, materials used, and properties of such materials. With the resistance known the power generation can be estimated to maintain those assumed temperatures for the given areas and volumes. A discussion of the power/energy source and why it was chosen by the manufacture (electric heating elements, Carnot heat pump, forced convection fan for cooling a computer) with estimated efficiency. A picture of the item you choose must be provided A F.B.D of the system with description of the process, flow of energy, and assumptions Suggest Verifying your chosen project to make sure it covers enough information. This will be graded on: Valid assumptions without ignoring obvious large contributors of the environment (this proves you are understanding all the modes of heat transfer) - F.B.D visual descriptions of heat transfer and power or heat generations (this proves you are understanding how these modes are acting on the system and how you can relay that information to a boss or coworker) Calculations and selection of the correct equations Understanding and discussion of the efficiency of the power or heat source Finally, how could you improve the design Submission: - All calculations and thought process to solve the problem. Discussions for each of the 5 grading points Picture of the item Equipment specifics of items being reviewed, Watts, Btu, specs.
