Question
2.1 You are tasked with planning of maintenance tasks at a water treatment facility. A
critical pump has failed unexpectedly, causing significant downtime. Meanwhile,
another pump of the same type has been operating without any issues. Illustrate using
a diagram the planning process that highlights the difference between a maintenance
task for an asset that has failed and a maintenance task that prevents failure from
occurring. (6)
2.2 You are the working at a power generation plant. Over the past six months, the plant
has experienced inconsistent performance from its critical assets, resulting in
occasional production losses. The maintenance team recently implemented a new
maintenance strategy to address this issue. Indicate the different methods to consider
when assessing the effectiveness of the maintenance strategy. (3)
2.3 At a manufacturing facility, operators are primarily responsible for running production
equipment, while the maintenance team handles all repairs and upkeep. Recently, the
facility has experienced an increase in unplanned equipment downtime due to minor
issues that could have been detected earlier. Explain why should the operator be
involved in the maintenance of physical assets? (3)
2.4 What are the consequences of poor preparation of maintenance tasks? Illustrate this
by means of five examples. (5)

Compare the coal throughputs for a small-scale experiment that uses 10 mg of coal in 6 seconds, and a single boiler in a large commercial-scale central-station electric generating plant. Assume: the commercial facility has a total output of 1,020 MW e supplied by three boilers of equal capacity; the boiler has a heat rate of (8,980 Btu th /hr)/(kW e ) based on fuel HHV, and fires coal with a gross heating value (i.e., HHV) of 14,000 Btu th /lb.arrow_forwardProblem Statement = You install a heat pump to heat a cottage during the winter using the outside air as the heat source. You wish to maintain the interior temperature of the cottage at 22°C. A simplified model of the heat loss through the walls indicates that heat will need to be supplied at a rate of 0.14(Tinterior - Texterior) where Q is the rate at which heat must be supplied to the cottage (in kW), Tinterior is the interior air temperature (in C), and Texterior is the exterior air temperature (in C). You have a 1kW electric motor available to run the heat pump. What is the coldest winter day when the heat pump will be able to keep up to the heating demand?

- Please show system sketches and related energy flows for all problems. 1.1 Determine the electrical power supplied to a boiler when the temperature of the entering water is 20 C and the exiting temperature is 89 C. The flow of the pressured water is 2 Kg/s. There is a negligible pressure drop through this boiler and it operates at a constant pressure of 3 bars. The specific heat is c = 4,370 J/(Kg K). There is a 1.5(105 ) W rate of heat loss from the boiler during this process to a surrounding at 293.2 k. Consider steady state conditions. 1.4 Calculate the mass flowrate of fuel (natural gas, CH4) required to heat the water flow to the conditions of problem 1.1 if the electrical heating device is replaced with a gas fired boiler. The high heating value (HHV) of the fuel is 50.02 MJ/kg. 1.5 Calculate the exergy destroyed in the process described by problem 1.4. The exergy of the fuel entering this process is 51.82 MJ/Kg.

- A manufacturing system consists of 3 machines. Parts arrive following EXPO(5) distribution. Upon arrival, the parts will be send to the shops where they will be processed, each part will be transported individually (assume the parts move by themselves without the need of a resource) and the move time takes UNIF(2, 3) minutes. Once the parts arrive at the shop station the parts are distributed among the machines by selecting the machine with the shortest queue, if there are ties, then the tie breaker is the machine index (Machine 3 is prioritized over machine 2, and 1, and machine 2 is prioritized over machine 1). There is no maximum buffer capacity to be considered. Processing time for each machine is constant and is equal to 7 minutes. All three machines have failure modes; the machines have up times and down time as following: Machine 1 Up Time expo(140) min, Down Time UNIF(S, 10) min, Machine 2 up time EXPO(100) min and down time UNIF(S, 15) + 5 min while for machine 3 up time…arrow_forwardSubmit correct and complete solutions. give propriate Explanation.
