1. Using a diagram/figure, describe briefly the how energy is transformed from fuel to electrical power in steam power plants. (20 pts)
Figure 1: Steam power plant Diagram
The steam power plant is an important source to produce the electricity. The major portion of electricity demand is fulfilled by this power plant. It is
also called a thermal power plant. It provides the electricity required to different areas. In this article we will study the construction, working, efficiency,
advantages, and disadvantages of steam power plants. The layout of steam Power Plant consist of Coal Storage, Coal Handling, Boiler, Air-Preheating,
Economizer, Turbine, Generator, Ash Storage, Dust Collector, Cooling Tower, Condenser, Chimney and Feed Water Pump.
The steam is generated by burning a fossil fuel or by harnessing a nuclear reaction. It is also possible to move the turbines directly with falling
water in a hydroelectric power station. There are various ways of generating electricity with different energy sources.
2. Using a diagram/figure, describe briefly the. (20 pts)
Figure 2: Diesel Power Plant Diagram
A diesel power station or diesel power plant schematic diagram consists of the following levels:
(i) Fuel supply system
(ii) Air intake system
(iii) Exhaust system
(iv) Cooling system:
(v) Lubricating system
(vi) Engine starting system:
Diesel generators convert some of the chemical energy, contained by the diesel fuel, to mechanical energy through combustion. This mechanical
energy then rotates a crank to produce electricity. Electric charges are induced in the wire by moving it through a magnetic field.
3. Describe briefly how works. Provide a sample diagram/figure of an application. (20 pts)
Figure 3: Ultrasonic Level Sensor
Figure 4: Application of an Ultrasonic Level Sensor
Ultrasonic level sensor works by emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves. The time it takes for the waves to reflect to where it was measured is how
the distance is measured. There are many examples of ultrasonic level sensor that are used in real life applications such as: Vehicle Parking Sensor,
Vehicle Cruise Control, Ultrasonic Water Tank sensor, etc. From the Figure 4 the used of the Sensor is to detect the water depth of the tank. In a
nutshell, water depth sensing is using a sensor to measure the depth of water in a tank or container. With ultrasonic sensors, finding the water depth will
be the calculation by finding the distance between the transceiver and the surface of the water. The sensor will transmit a short ultrasonic pulse, and
with that it, can measure the travel time of that pulse (the echo) to the liquid and back. Subtracting that distance from the total depth of the tank will
determine the water depth.
4. Describe briefly how a differential pressure (DP) sensor works. Provide a sample diagram/figure of an application. (20 pts)
Figure 5: Differential Pressure Sensor
A differential pressure sensor is a special type of pressure sensor that measures the change in pressure or "DP" across two ports on a device.
This is different from a static or absolute pressure sensor that would measure pressure using just one port. How Does a DP Flow Transmitter work? One
very common way of measuring flow using a DP transmitter is for the primary element to introduce a constriction in the pipe. Using a restrictive element
on the primary side will create a high and low pressure. When the flow increases, more pressure drop is created.
5. Describe briefly how an electromagnetic flow meter (EMF) works. Provide a sample diagram/figure of an application. (20 pts)
Figure 6: Electromagnetic Flow Meter (EMF)
Figure 7: Electromagnetic Flow Meter (EMF) Principles
Electromagnetic flowmeters (EMF) have been used for continuous flow measurement in industrial applications for many years. They are
ideally suitable for liquids with an electrical conductivity greater than 5 μS/cm. In addition to water and waste water, other contaminated liquids are
typical areas of application. How this device works uses the principles of EMF from Faraday. Electromagnetic flow meters detect flow by using Faraday's
Law of induction. Inside an electromagnetic flow meter, there is an electromagnetic coil that generates a magnetic field, and electrodes that capture
electromotive force(voltage).
