Answer to Question #124939 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for DZIMABI GEORGINA ATSUFUI

Question

you have been asked to design an appliance for a water supply pumping station. The appliance will operate using a tree plantation as a starting source of energy the following supplies only;a steam-powered electric generator, water pump and a light-activated siren system. Use a flow chart of 7[seven] items only to describe the sequential energy conversions to be anticipated.

Answer 1

The sequential energy conversions anticipated in the described system can be represented as follows:

Fuel energy (thermal) > water energy (thermal) > steam energy (kinetic) > energy of turbine (mechanical) > generator energy (electromagnetic) > pump energy (electrical) > pump shaft energy (mechanical).
