Plot a pressure versus volume diagram and a temperature versus entropy diagram for the Stirling engine in the example given in the text. What do the areas under the pV and the TS lines represent? 3.3 Consider two cylinders, A and B, equipped with pistons so that their internal volume can ...
We further assume the EDG is in its “useful life period” [37] and therefore the runtime failure rate (the inverse of the MTTF) is constant. Thus, the reliability, R(t), of an EDG at time t during an outage is given by:(1)R(t)=OA(1−FTS)e−tMTTF Fig. 2 illustrates the...
