Mechanical Engineering

This document contains an assignment for a Mechanical Engineering course covering topics in energy, thermodynamics, and steam. The assignment includes 13 questions asking students to: 1) differentiate between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and define calorific value of fuels, 2) explain principles of operation for solar ponds, flat plate collectors, and windmills with sketches, 3) differentiate between biofuels and petroleum fuels, 4) define open, closed, and isolated systems and explain thermodynamic equilibrium and laws of thermodynamics, and 5) explain steam formation on a T-h diagram and define properties of wet, saturated, and superheated steam. Students are instructed to answer questions neatly, include relevant
