Term
What are the four fundamental dimensions of measurement?
Definition
1) Length
2) Time
3) Force or mass
4) Pressure
Term
What are the first three fundamental dimensions of measurement: Length, Time, and Force or Mass commonly referred to as?
Definition
Mechanical dimensions.
Term
What is an expansion thermometer?
Definition
They operate ont he principle that the expansion of solids, liquids, and gases has a known relationship to temperature changes. (Ex. liquid in glass thermometers, bimetallic expansion thermometers, and filled-system expansion thermometers)
Term
What is viscosity?
Definition
A measure of a liquid's resistance to flow.
Term
If a liquid flows sluggishly, it is said to have a ________ viscosity.
Definition
High
Term
If a liquid flows freely, it is said to have a _______ viscosity.
Definition
Low
Term
Define energy.
Definition
The ability either latent or apparent to produce an effect.
Term
Fossil fuel is used as a source of energy for three types of drive of naval vessels. What are the they?
Definition
1) Conventional steam
2) Diesel
3) Gas Turbine
Term
What is nuclear fuel used to drive?
Definition
Nuclear steam-driven vessels
Term
What is thermodynamics?
Definition
The science concerned with the interrelationship between thermal energy and mechanical energy.
Term
What is stored thermal energy?
Definition
Internal energy.
Term
Transitional mechanic energy is called ____?
Definition
Work
Term
Thermal energy in transition is called ______?
Definition
Heat
Term
What is internal energy?
Definition
The sum of the two stored forms of thermal energy, namely internal potential and internal kinectic energy.
Term
What is the first Law of Thermodynamics?
Definition
Energy can be neither destroyed nor created, but only trasformed.
Term
Define conduction.
Definition
The mode by which heat flows from a hotter(source or emitting region) to a colder region(sink or receiver region) when there is a physical contact between the two regions>
Term
What are the four detriments of heat transfer?
Definition
1) Boundary Layer
2) Corrosion Layer
3) Scale/Chemical Build up
4) Dirt and Soot
Term
What is one way that the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics can be stated?
Definition
1) No process is possible where the only result is removal of energy as heat from a low-temperature reservoir and absorbtion of an equal amount of energy as heat by a high-temperature reservoir.(water will not freeze when heat is applied).
Term
What is another way that the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics can be stated?
Definition
That no process is possible where the sole result is the removal of heat from a single reservoir and the performance of an equivalent amount of work.(cannot expect the heat of friction to reverse itself and perform mechanical work.
Term
What is another way to state the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
Definition
No engine, actual or ideal, when operating in a cycle, can convert all the heat suplied to it into work.(No thermal dynamic cycle can have a thermal efficiency of 100 percent).
Term
What are the four phases of the steam cycle?
Definition
Generation, Expansion, Condensation, and Feed
Term
What are the eleven essential parts of the Rankine(steam) cycle?
Definition
SG/Boiler, Economizer, Superheater, Feed Pump, Booster Pump, DFT, MU Feed Tank, Air Ejector Condensor, Condensate Pump, Main condenser, LP/HP Turbines
