Practical Assignment [ Total 20 marks]

The Electricity production processes is required for a New Ismailia city that has 1 district area with
which as follows:
The data given the city is divided as follows :
1- (1) Hotel buildings each 400-guest room each in the middle of the four districts of the city
(a reference guide will be given for the electricity demand load required during the course)
A. A -Kitchen area 400 m2 (light is 3.5 watt per meter square, electric equipment 1.5 watt per
meter square)
B. Lobby areas 900 m2 ( light is 3.5 watt per meter square, electric equipment 0.2 watt per meter
square
C. 4-Laundary 100 KW)
D. 5- Air conditioning utilities (4000 KW)
E. 6- Domestic pumps for plumbing (30 KW)
F. Spa Area (50 KW)
G. Restaurant Area (20 kw)

2- (1)Hospital buildings each 800 bed on the four corners of the city
3.- (1) OFFICE buildings each is 4 floors divided on the four districts each floor is one company
5- 100 residential buildings
6- (1) school buildings each 5000 students with 250 Class rooms 50 admirative rooms
7- (1) Mall buildings divided on the four district areas each mall has 200 retail shops, and four floors

8- Assume the areas according to the Egyptian building codes

Two alternative choices of the below systems is proposed for the city
( one is traditional and the other is with renewable resource) from the below systems:
(1) cogeneration of back pressure steam turbine type
(2) combined cycle.
(3) Gas turbine
(4) Internal combustion engine generatosr
(5) Gas turbine combined with renewable energy system
(6) Solar renewable energy
(7) Wind renewable energy

Tables and charts will be supported to this study

It is required to:
(1) Sketch the layout, electric power plant for the city ,and the location resources, with the landscape
(2) Calculate the values and points for each component on the cycle (A catalogue guide will be given)
19MECH20H Energy conversion Practical assignment – 2020

(1) That utilization factor for the cogeneration if it will be used and not to be less than 59% make your
proposed design
(2) Calculate the thermal efficiency for the actual cycle
(3) Conduct a complete design of the condenser in the combined cycle including cooling tower
pumps( if used) , piping, selection and cost analysis.
(4) Propose your detail design and type for the generator for the city
(5) What is the city electric load , which type would be better and ,implement the size with corrected
values of the above data
(6) calculate the capacity factor and the net heat rate and make a table of cost analysis based on the
data of technical document (electric power generation) attached in the e-learning

(7) Analyze the plant for a partial load in excel sheet for 75%,50%,25% part load Vs. daily, weekly
and ,monthly analysis of the year of the year

Instructions:

1.) This practical problem will be presented by a group work in a 15-pages report supported by
necessary calculations, relevant background information, graphs, tables, and references.
2.) The final outcome of this project will be a report submitted in Week 12 followed by oral discussion
3.) This practical problem is worth 20% of the overall grade for the module.
4.) This practical problem is a team-work and you are required to select your own groups. Group sizes
are to be between 4 and 5 students.
5.) Marking strategy:
a. Progress report 20% in week 7
a. 15% for introduction and background
b. 35% for calculations
c. 30% for discussions and presentation of the results

6.) The overall mark will depend upon evaluation of individual contributions to the practical problem.

7.) Plagiarism of any form will NOT be tolerated. Any work found to be plagiarized will receive a
‘ZERO’ mark. Any group submitting work where plagiarism is suspected will be required to provide
copies of source material and/or original calculations; it is the group’s responsibility to provide this
information if requested. A soft copy will be submitted via Turn It In. This soft copy must be the same
one that will be submitted during
