Cards

Term
Devices to measure temperature and pressure
Definition
Temp: expansion thermometers, pyrometers
Pressure: monometers, bourdon tube
Term
coversion: farenheit to rankine
Celcius to kelvin
Definition
F= R - 460
C= K - 273
Term
1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics
Definition
first: no destroy energy, only created and transferred
senond: no completely efficient thermo cycle (heat into work)
Term
Latent heat of vaporization vs. fusion
Definition
vaporization: E required to change a fluid from a liquid to a vapor
fusion: E required for object to melt
Term
modes of heat transfer
Definition
conduction, radiation, convection
Term
5 basic elements of all cycles
Definition
working substance, heat source, engine, heat sink, pump or compressor
Term
two types of pumps
Definition
positive displacement: volume of fluid displaced during each cycle
impeller
Term
two types of valves
Definition
Stop and Check
Term
Stop valves
Definition
globe, gate, ball, butterfly
(used to shut of flow)
Term
check valves
Definition
swing, ball, lift
(used to permit flow in 1 direction)
Term
Components of Steam cycle
Definition
boiler, steam turbine, condenser, condensate pumps, DFT, feed pump
Term
Phases of working fluid in steam cycle
Definition
generation, expansion, condensation, feed
Term
Types of steam turbines
Definition
Rateau (impulse), Parsons (reaction)
Term
Rateau Steam turbine
Definition
impulse, steam hits blades at high velocity, moves blades by a direct push and exits at lower velocity
Term
Parsons Steam Turbine
Definition
reaction, fixed vane, nozzles increase velocity and moving vane blades move by a reaction force or kickback
Term
Why Navy uses Nuclear Power
Definition
unlimited range/ endurance
no need for outside material (air)
smaller engineering spaces and fuel
Term
modes of radioactive decay
Definition
alpha, beta, gamma, spontaneous fission
Term
Fission process (where does energy come from?)
Definition
235/92 U + 1/0 n = FF1 + FF2 + (2)1/0 n + KE (difference in binding E)
Term
Critica
Definition
fission rate just sustained by the minimum number of thermal fissions (Keff=1)
Term
Subcritical
Definition
fission rate is decreasing since not enough thermal neutrons are produced to maintain fission reactions (Keff < 1)
Term
Supercritical
Definition
fission rate increasing since more than necessary thermal neutrons created (Keff > 1)
Term
How to control fission?
Definition
-control rods, delayed neutrons, moderator (water)
Term
reactor plant primary loop components
Definition
containment structure, control rods, reactor, steam generator, steam line, pump, generator, turbine, cooling water condensor, cooling tower
Term
How reactor Power follows Steam Demand
Definition
-power inversely proportional to moderator temp
Term
Four Strokes of Diesel Engine
Definition
Intake, Compression, Power, Exhaust
(suck, squeeze, bang, push)
Term
Two stroke vs. four stroke
Definition
2: higher power to weight ratio, less complicated valve train
4: more efficient burning process, as size increases, power:weight improves
Term
How common shaft design allows turbine to spin compressor and therefore the turbine is self sustaining
Definition
common shaft between compressor and turbine, and turbine/propulsion power. continue movement after certain rpm
Term
Why do ships with GTE have to have a controllable pitch propeller
Definition
Turbine only operates at certain speed, change propeller pitch to slow down
Term
Reduction Gears
Definition
-straight, helical, double helical
-combines two turbines to common shaft
Term
Thrust Bearing purpose
Definition
absorbs axial force and propells ship forward
Term
Reverse Osmosis
Definition
water through membrane, high pressure, multi-stage
Term
Diesel
Definition
-high efficiency @ all loads, low initial cost, reliable, few operators
-large, noisey, heavy, high maintenance
Term
GTE
Definition
-light, short startup, reliable, quiet
-large amount of air, large fuel storage
Term
Conventional Steam
Definition
-reliable, aux functions, eff @ cruising
-large, lots manpower, long start-up
Term
Nuclear
Definition
-endurance, reliable, speed, no air
-high cost, heavy, long start-up
Term
Why Use Hydraulics?
Definition
-shapelessness, incompressibility, transmission of force (equally and undiminished)
Term
Basic Hydraulics Problem
Definition
F = P * A
Term
Resistor
Definition
opposes flow of current through circuit
Term
Current
Definition
flow of electrical charges though a conductor
Term
Voltage
Definition
force which causes electrons to move
Term
Generator Action
Definition
magnetic field, conductor, relative motion between the two
Term
Motor Action
Definition
magnetic field, conductor, current flow in conductor
Term
Basic circuit Rules
Definition
V=IR , P=VI
Term
Resistors (parallel and series)
Definition
series = + , parallel = 1/reciprocals
Term
Why 3 phase AC
Definition
-AC more power than DC for same size
-more power than a single phase can operate with 2, but redundancy, faults
Term
Electrical Safety
Definition
rubber gloves, rope man, announce it, isolate
Term
Selective Tripping
Definition
faults ar eisolated as close to the fault as possible and furthest from power supply. done via fuses, switches,and breakers
Term
ABT
Definition
allow transfer of load from one bus to another (normal to alternate), senses voltage loss of quickly and auto transfers supply to alternate source to ensure continuity of power
Term
Compressed Air compressors
Definition
-positive displacement: high pressure
-centrifugal: high output
Term
Uses for compressed air
Definition
-high: torpedo ejection, emergency blow
-low: potable water, pneumatic tools
Term
Refrigeration Cycle
Definition
-Condensor and Receiver
-Expansion Device
