Transcript of Heat energy to mechanical energy
Different systems for getting mechanical energy from Heat energy
• Sterling engine• Diesel engine • Petrol engine • Gas turbine
What is a Sterling Engine?• Reciprocating engine.
• External combustion (get heat from external source).
• Converts heat energy into mechanical power by alternately compressing and expanding a fixed quantity of the working fluid at different temperatures.
• Work on both conventional and non conventional sources
• Efficient , clean & silent
• Can reach effiency of 50%
What is a Diesel Engine ?
• Internal Combustion Engine
• Operates Using Diesel Cycle
• Manufactured in two stroke and four stroke versions
What is a Petrol Engine ?
• Internal Combustion Engine
• Operates Using Otto Cycle
• Manufactured in two stroke and four stroke versions
• Run at higher rotation speeds than diesels
• A Gas turbine is a Turbo-machine and basically similar to steam turbine regarding its working principle
• The first turbine to produce useful work was probably a wind mill, where no compression and no combustion exist
• Now a days gas turbine include a compression process and combustion process.
• Joule and brayton independently proposed the cycle that is the ideal prototype
What is a Gas turbine?
