Test 1 Reflection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • While working on Test 2 I demonstrated progress in applying Rankine Cycle with superheating, re-heating, and regeneration to steam power plants. The test involved working a steam regenerative cycle in a fully functioning state and semi0functioning state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • My solution to the test compared to the solution given was mostly comparable to each other. However, I did make critical errors in both the first and second cases.
    • For the first case, I had the closest line of reasoning when solving. I used the right formulas and applied the right logic when relating to each phase of the system. But when reading the values given for the case, I had a gap in understanding the T-s diagram and the principles associated with superheated water. I had understood that anything to the right of the bell curve was vapor. So, when plotting my t-s diagram I assumed the state of the water coming out of the boiler was vapor. The temperature for this phase was given in the problem at 400\u00b0C, which is not vapor, but superheated water. This meant that I was pulling constants from the wrong chart and ending up with incorrect thermal efficiency and net-work. I did not notice this mistake as the solution I had come up with still made sense for the system.<\/li><\/ul>\n
        \n
      • In the second case, my first mistake came from not properly associating the adjusted system with first law. This was for both thermal efficiency and net-work. When solving y, I correctly determined that phase 6 and phase 3 were the primary inputs for energy in, but I still used phase 5 and phase 4 in the formal. This was because I had used the same formula, I used to solve case one instead of adjusting it to match the new system configuration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Based on my work compared to the solution given and using the grading rubric, I would give myself a 70. This is because I was able to show a developed understanding of the theory and method of solving a system but a lack of proficiency in identifying material characteristics and adapting the system to a varying design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
