Abstract:
AbstractCanonical statistical mechanics hinges on two quantities, i. e., state degeneracy and the Boltzmann factor, the latter of which usually dominates thermodynamic behaviors. A recently identified phenomenon (supradegeneracy) reverses this order of dominance and predicts effects for equilibrium that are normally associated with non-equilibrium, including population inversion and steady-state particle and energy currents. This study examines two thermodynamic paradoxes that arise from supradegeneracy and proposes laboratory experiments by which they might be resolved.

Abstract:
Abstract Laboratories in an undergraduate physics course were adapted to remote learning while conserving a high degree of student autonomy regarding the experimental work. The commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the resulting restrictions for large groups enforced the immediate development and implementation of new teaching concepts. This article describes laboratories, which have been redesigned in order to give the students the possibility to remotely steer and control the experiments by instructing their teachers, who were on site in the laboratory. This interactive approach allowed for a high degree of autonomy and freedom in the experimental design. The assessment of the laboratories, oral presentations by the students, was carried out in a similar format as in previous years, but remotely. The presentations indicated that the students reached a comparable level of understanding of the underlying physics concepts as in years with on-site laboratories. The experiences gathered with this concept can be beneficial beyond the described one-time implementation and allow adaptation for other scenarios of remote courses.

Abstract:
Any observation, and hence concept, is limited by the time and length scale of the observer and his instruments. Originally, we lived on a timescale of minutes and a length scale of meters, give or take an order of magnitude or two. Therefore, we devloped laboratory sized concepts, like volume, pressure, and temperature of continuous media. The past 150 years we managed to observe on the molecular scale and similarly nanoseconds timescale, leading to atomic physics that requires new concepts. In this paper, we are moving in the opposite direction, to extremely large time and length scales. We call this regime “slow time”. Here, we explore which laboratory concepts still apply in slow time and which new ones may emerge. E.g., we find that temperature no longer exists and that a new component of entropy emerges from long time averaging of other quantities. Just as finite-time thermodynamics developed from the small additional constraint of a finite process duration, here we add a small new condition, the very long timescale that results in a loss of temporal resolution, and again look for new structure.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the modifications made to the Cal Poly Thermal Science Laboratory’s steam turbine experiment. While the use of superheating or reheating is commonly used to increase efficiency in a Rankine cycle the methods prove unfeasible in a small scale project. For this reason, a mathematical model and proof of concept design using hydrostatic head generated by elevation and venturi ejection for use by the condenser is developed along with the equations needed to predict the changes to the system. These equations were used to create software to predict efficiency as well as lay down the foundation for future improvements of the system.

Abstract:

Particulate matter emission is one of the major air pollution problems of coal fired power plants. Fine particulates constitute a smaller fraction by weight of the total suspended particle matter in a typical particulate emission, but they are considered potentially hazardous to health because of the high probability of deposition in deeper parts of the respiratory tract. Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) are the most widely used devices that are capable of controlling particulate emission effectively from power plants and other process industries. Although the dust collection efficiency of the industrial precipitator is reported as about 99.5%, an anticipation of future stricter environmental protection agency (EPA) regulations have led the local power station seeking new technologies to achieve the new requirements at minimum cost and thus control their fine particulate emissions to a much greater degree than ever before.

This study aims to identify the options for controlling fine particle emission through improvement of the ESP performance efficiency. An ESP system consists of flow field, electrostatic field and particle dynamics. The performance of an ESP is significantly affected by its complex flow distribution arising as a result of its complex internal geometry, hence the aerodynamic characteristics of the flow inside an ESP always need considerable attention to improve the efficiency of an ESP. Therefore, a laboratory scale ESP model, geometrically similar to an industrial ESP, was designed and fabricated at the Thermodynamics Laboratory of CQUniversity, Australia to examine the flow behaviour inside the ESP. Particle size and shape morphology analyses were conducted to reveal the properties of the fly ash particles which were used for developing numerical models of the ESP.

Numerical simulations were carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code FLUENT and comparisons were made with the experimental results. The ESP was modelled in two steps. Firstly, a novel 3D fluid (air) flow was modelled considering the detailed geometrical configuration inside the ESP. A novel boundary condition was applied at the inlet boundary of this model to overcome all previous assumptions on uniform velocity at the inlet boundary. Numerically predicted velocity profiles inside the ESP model are compared with the measured data obtained from the laboratory experiment. The model with a novel boundary condition predicted the flow distribution more accurately. In the second step, as the complete ESP system consists of an electric field and a particle phase in addition to the fluid flow field, a two dimensional ESP model was developed. The electrostatic force was applied to the flow equations using User Defined Functions (UDF). A discrete phase model was incorporated with this two dimensional model to study the effect of particle size, electric field and flue gas flow on the collection efficiency of particles inside the ESP. The simulated results revealed that the collection efficiency cannot be improved by the increased electric force only unless the flow velocity is optimized.

The CFD model was successfully applied to a prototype ESP at the power plant and used to recommend options for improving the efficiency of the ESP. The aerodynamic behaviour of the flow was improved by geometrical modifications in the existing 3D numerical model. In particular, the simulation was performed to improve and optimize the flow in order to achieve uniform flow and to increase particle collection inside the ESP. The particles injected in the improved flow condition were collected with higher efficiency after increasing the electrostatic force inside the 2D model. The approach adopted in this study to optimize flow and electrostatic field properties is a novel approach for improving the performance of an electrostatic precipitator.

Abstract:
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is a composite material that exhibits a nonlinear response that is dependent on temperature, type of loading and strain level. The properties of HMA are highly influenced by the type and amount of the constituents used and also depend on its internal structure. In such a material the variable effects of the compaction process assume a central importance in determining material performance. It is generally accepted that the theoretical knowledge about material behavior during compaction is limited and it is therefore hard to predict and manage (the effect of) a compaction process. This work makes an attempt to address such a specific need by developing a continuum model that can be adapted for simulating the compaction of hot mix asphalt (HMA) using the notion of multiple natural configurations. A thermodynamic framework is employed to study the non-linear dissipative response associated with HMA by specifying the forms for the stored energy and the rate of dissipation function for the material; a viscoelastic compressible fluid model is developed using this framework to model the compaction of hot mix asphalt. It is further anticipated that the present work will aid in the development of better constitutive models capable of capturing the mechanics of processes like compaction both in the laboratory and in the field. The continuum model developed was implemented in the finite element method, which was employed to setup a simulation environment for hot mix asphalt compaction. The finite element method was used for simulating compaction in the laboratory and in various field compaction projects.

Abstract:
Chemistry in the laboratory very often involves the use of liquid solutions. This is especially true in chemical analysis, where the amount of analyte is easily manipulated when it is dissolved in a solution. Solutions are often the medium for chemical reactions which form the basis of titrations. Other simple analytical procedures are based on absorption spectroscopy, which is used to determine the concentrations of an analyte in solution. Most liquid solutions, also called liquid mixtures, are non-ideal. This follows from the fact that the components are in intimate contact with one another, and that the forces between the various species are usually not the same. As a result, the physical properties of the solution, for example, the vapor pressure of a given component, are usually not simply related to its concentration. This non-ideality leads to the concept of the activity of a solution component. As far as the analytical chemist is concerned, only concentration is ultimately of interest. Thus, if an analysis is based on the measurement of a physical property which in turn depends on the activity of a component, it is very important that the relationship between activity and concentration be understood for the system in question. Activity and its relationship to concentration is defined within the context of chemical thermodynamics. Using the laws which govern phase equilibria and the laboratory observations relating to these processes one can develop a detailed understanding of this relationship. In this chapter the macroscopic concepts of chemical thermodynamics which are relevant to solutions are reviewed. In addition, some simple models based on molecular concepts are discussed. The examples chosen are mainly limited to non-electrolyte solutions, especially those involving polar molecules. Concentration of one component in a two-component system can be expressed in several ways: as a weight/weight ratio, as a volume/volume ratio, or as a weight/volume ratio. Physical chemists clearly prefer to express concentration as a weight/weight ratio because then one has the possibility of estimating the number of moles of both components in the solution. In this case, solution composition is independent of temperature and pressure. On the other hand, the analytical chemist prefers to use a weight/volume ratio.

Abstract:
Topics on gas turbine machinery have been successfully integrated into the thermodynamics course at the United States Military Academy (USMA). Because graduating cadets will encounter gas turbines throughout their service in the U.S. Army, it is important for all engineering students, not just mechanical engineering majors, to learn about gas turbines, their operation, and their applications. This is accomplished by four methods, one of which is an experimental analysis of an operational auxiliary power unit (APU) from an Army helicopter. Due to recent building issues, this gas turbine laboratory was improvised and offered as a fully digital virtual laboratory exercise. Since all undergraduate programs do not have the luxury of having a gas turbine laboratory, our experiences with the virtual laboratory are offered as an effective option. By digitally reproducing the laboratory setup, introduction, instrumentation, data collection and analysis, the virtual experience captures the essence of the laboratory. After viewing the web-based laboratory digital media files, students use one of two data sets, recorded from the data display panel in the real laboratory, in order to complete the laboratory report. While the tremendous advantage of actually seeing, testing, and analyzing the real engine cannot be denied, a well-planned and executed virtual laboratory adequately achieves learning objectives and provides students a unique opportunity to apply gas turbine fundamentals. An assessment of the virtual laboratory and results of student feedback are provided.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to describe a micro-combined heat and power system, sized for residential distributed power generation, which was designed, constructed, and installed in the Advanced Energy Technologies Laboratory at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The installation began as a Mechanical Engineering senior design project, in which students evaluated potential methods for distributed residential combined heat and power systems. Potential systems were evaluated based on cost-effectiveness in supplying the energy requirements of a typical residence in Milwaukee, WI, and they were also judged on their environmental impacts. Initial feasibility studies, undertaken with consideration of Milwaukee’s climatic conditions, found that a natural gas-fired, reciprocating engine-generator set with heat recovery exchangers could best meet the energy needs of a typical residence in a cost-effective manner. Following the design, fabrication, and installation of the system in the laboratory, the team designed and performed experiments to quantify the system performance. The system is currently configured to deliver 2 kW of electric power and 6 kW of thermal power, achieving an overall efficiency of 72%. The system is now used in two courses: Applied Thermodynamics, and Advanced Energy Technologies. During the cogeneration laboratories performed in these courses, students decide which measurements are needed and use the collected data to compute performance parameters, to complete an energy balance, and to perform a second-law analysis of the system.

Abstract:
Applied Thermodynamics is a graduate course at Kettering University. Undergraduate Thermodynamics serves as the only prerequisite. This course covers the concepts introduced in undergraduate thermodynamics and continues with the coverage of thermodynamic relations, mixtures and solutions, psychrometry, phase and chemical equilibrium, and chemical reactions. These concepts are then applied in detail to various power and refrigeration cycles. Topics such as mole fraction, mass fraction, enthalpy of formation, adiabatic flame temperature and the application of the Second Law to reacting mixtures are covered. Team projects are incorporated into this graduate course. Recent projects included a turbojet engine and a non-ideal regenerative steam power plant. The objective of the first project was to compute component efficiencies and the thrust force for a jet engine. The second project aimed to optimize the thermal efficiency of a non-ideal regenerative steam power plant by varying the feed-water heater pressure. Both projects utilized the Engineering Equation Solver (EES), a general equation solver with built-in functions for thermodynamic and transport properties. This article describes the projects and presents the solution techniques and the computed results. For the jet engine, computed results are based on actual test data obtained in Energy Systems Laboratory at Kettering University.

The tool can also be used for conceptual design of large-scale systems incorporating cogeneration schemes of varied types. The user can learn how to combine conventional thermal systems in creative ways to enhance exergetic efficiency. In the present work, we describe upgrades to this tool, and we present several examples to show the possibilities of energy cascading.

Abstract:
In this paper the methodologies by which thermodynamic theory can be developed to permit design of experiments are discussed. This approach is both innovative in itself and pedagogically sound in that the student learns to design while learning the important theoretical topics. This technique uses mathematical as well as engineering concepts that are relatively simple and yet very educational. The equipment to be used and the details of the design then become the designer’s choice and are limited only by the person’s own imagination, creativity, and innovative thinking and the physical laboratory resources available at a given institution. This methodology shows what is to be measured and what kind of results are to be expected. Since design is incorporated into this thermodynamics course, then it can be assessed for its design content as well as engineering science coverage in the ABET 2000 evaluations.

Abstract:
The mission of the United States Military Academy (USMA) is “To educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the United States Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the nation.” [1] In order to accomplish this mission, USMA puts their cadets through a 47-month program that includes a variety of military training, and college courses totaling about 150 credit-hours. Upon completion of the program, cadets receive a Bachelor of Science degree and become Second Lieutenants in the United States Army. A very unique aspect of the academic program at USMA is that each cadet is required to take a minimum of five engineering classes regardless of their major or field of study. This means that about 500 cadets will have taken the one-semester course in thermodynamics. The thermodynamics course taught at USMA is different from others throughout the country because within every class there is a mixture of cadets majoring in engineering and those that are in other majors, i.e. languages, history [2]. Topics on gas turbine machinery have been integrated into this unique thermodynamics course. Because the cadets will encounter gas turbines throughout their service in the Army, we feel that it is important for all of the students, not just engineering majors, to learn about gas turbines, their operation, and their applications. This is accomplished by four methods. The first is in a classroom environment. Cadets learn how actual gas turbines work, how to model them, and learn how to solve problems. Thermodynamics instructors have access to several actual gas turbines used in military applications to aid in cadet learning. The second method occurs in the laboratory where cadets take measurements and analyze an operational auxiliary power unit (APU) from an Army helicopter. The third method occurs in the form of a design project. The engineering majors redesign the cogeneration plant that exists here at West Point. Many of them use a topping cycle in this design. The final method is a capstone design project. During the 2001–02 academic year, three cadets are improving the thermodynamic laboratories. Among their tasks are designing a new test stand for the APU, increasing the benefit of the gas turbine laboratory through more student interaction, and designing a web-based gas turbine pre-laboratory instruction to compliment the actual laboratory exercise.

Abstract:
Abstract The case study learning methodology has been used for more than 20 years in teaching science and engineering. This methodology is known to be highly effective in promoting students’ understanding of the concepts and improving their ability to make connections between the concepts. In 2020 and 2021, the limited access to laboratory equipment and facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged instructors to implement alternative methods. One of the alternatives considered in the current institution is the use of case studies to enhance students’ understanding of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics topics during the online and hybrid implementations of those courses. In this study, an industry-based air-conditioning (AC) unit is facilitated to prepare a case study to teach refrigeration cycles in the laboratory part of thermodynamics. All four components of the AC unit, which include a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator, are assembled on a single platform. In an actual application, the compressor and condenser are part of the outside unit while an evaporator and expansion valve would be located indoors. In the first phase of the case study, students analyze temperature and pressure data for the normal operation of the unit to understand the function of each component in the cycle. In addition, by using thermodynamics property tables, they determine enthalpy and entropy values at different stages of the process, generate a temperature versus entropy (T-s) diagram, and calculate the efficiency of the AC unit. In the second phase of the study, they are provided with temperature and pressure data collected for the cases corresponding to when there is a problem with the AC unit. They perform analysis of those cases. The examples of issues introduced include part of the condenser or evaporator coils being disabled or using a partially blocked air filter. The equipment used in the case study is modified by the manufacturer to simulate those issues. During data analysis, student teams are tasked with identifying the issue introduced by looking at the changes in temperature, pressure, and T-s diagram. This paper provides detailed information about the case study, data collection, and analysis.
