ME 420/520 Thermal Systems Design Examination Open Book/Notes Recently, 204 solar panels were installed on the roof of the Matt Dishman Community Center in Northeast Portland. ‘The panels cost $273,000 (paid for by taxpayer subsidy); they will save$3,800 per year for the projected 25 year life of the panels. 1. What is the payback period for these solar panels? 2. Ata current interest rate of 5%, what is the Present Worth of the project? 3. What annual energy savings for each of 25 years would be necessary to sive the project a present worth of zero (neutral investment). Lact Cyst |.

What is the estimated cost for the pump (in 2009 cost)? <2. What is the flowrate for the pump and system as symbolized (label as Point A on the Graph)? 4, 3. What will be the flowrate if two identical pumps are connected in parallel (label as Point B on the Graph)? 0, 4. How do the initial costs compare for two pumps versus a single larger pump with the same performance as two pumps in parallel? 6, 5. How would you modify the flow circuit it achieve a flowrate halfway between Point A and Point B (label as Point C on the Graph)? Show the system curve and the pump curve (single larger pump) for this modification on the same plot. 6. A variable speed drive (VSD) allows pump speed to be varied to adjust flow. Ifa VSD is placed on the single larger pump and adjusted to yield flowrate Point C with the base system, show the pump curve for this operation. 7. (Graduate Students) Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using 2 VSD to control flow rate (e.g. to reach point A or Point C with the original system).

Cena) tower AS ee a eee Wig borA tube and shell heat exchanger (two tube passes, one shell pass) is used to condense steam from saturated vapor to saturated liquid, using cold water to remove the heat. Steam flows at 1900 Ibm/hr, entering at 250F. Cold water enters at SOF and leaves at 130F. There are 8 tubes with diameter of 0.05 ft. (neglect tube wall thickness and thermal resistance) and each tube is 40 fi. long. Minor losses for each tube, accounting for inlet, exit, and 180° bend, is 2.0, 1. What is the duty of the heat exchanger? 2. What is the flowrate of water (GPM)? ) 3. What is the overall heat transfer coefficient? \ 4. What is the head loss for water flow (ft of head)? \) 5. Select a pump impeller diameter for a Goulds Model 3196 pump (see attached performance curve). 9 6. (Graduate Students) For a fouling coefficient of 0.002 hr ft?
