Manufacture Engineering and Management

Question: Discuss about the Manufacture Engineering and Management. Answer: Introduction In this world due to increase of commercialization, usage of non-renewable sources of energy has been increased. It is not a good prospect for the future of the earth. Non-renewable sources of energy are considered as the exhaustible sources of energy. Day by day, the amount of this energy is decreasing. It is a point of concern as it also incurs huge pollution that causes damage to the environment. At global level, pollution is increasing due to excessive exploitation of the non-renewable sources of energy such as fossil fuels. Due to the consequence, the prices of these sources of energy are increasing. Hence, it is high time for the use of renewable sources of energy. The study is focused on the efficiency of Stirling engine that is powered by solar energy. It will forecasts the future of the use of Stirling engine in the commercial field. Stirling engine acts on the power of solar energy. Stirling engine can be of both high temperature and low temperature. Stirling engine is more reliable and can be easily manufactured; hence, this report is conventional as it focuses on the projects that allows experimental research on the manufacturing, set up of the Stirling Engine, Powered by Solar Energy. This research has shed light upon the management of the Stirling Engine resulting into best possible outcome. Literature review Literature review helps to accommodate the critical evaluation on the knowledge of the topic, on which research is being conducted. Moreover, it helps to assess the important points of the previous research findings on the concerned topic along with highlighting the weakness. In this study, literature review has been incorporated on the concept of the Stirling engine and importance of this engine. Recommendation has also been given so that performance can be enhanced resulting into improved service. Concept of Stirling Engine: According to, Ahmadi et al. (2013), whether it is developed county or the developing one, the crisis of the energy is present worldwide. Population is increasing day by day; however, there is no chance of replenishing the resources. Moreover, Reddy et al. (2013), suggested that if the attrition of the resources would go continuously a morsel of the fossil fuel will not be present. Hence, it is the highest priority to go for the sustainable energy so that balance between non renewable and renewable resources can be maintained. Another complication of using fossil fuel excessively results in the environmental pollution like ozone depletion, green house effect etc. Significance of practising usage of renewable energy like wind mills, solar energy lies in this regard. In present scenario, traditional engines that work on the internal combustion are mostly used. Khan and Arsalan (2016), mentioned Stirling engines as the best alternative of those traditional heat engines. Stirling engine i s kind of engine that works on the principle of compression and expansion of the working fluid in a cyclic order. Stirling engine works on the principle of converting the heat energy to a work mechanically. Hence, it is valid in case of using the solar power to produce the energy. Saed and Tlili (2015), mentioned, Stirling engine as the mechanism that reciprocates the enclose working fluid and external combustion process. Stirling engine can provide more efficiency than the traditional steam engine. This engine has the capacity to utilize any kind of heat sources. As the cost of conventional energy is increasing according to the fluctuating economic condition the requirement for the application of energy that is cost effective and easily available has become mandatory. Stirling engine works on the closed working fluid in a reversible thermodynamic cycle. Working fluid moves between the cold and hot end of the cylinder; due to the continuous expansion and compression of the working f luid during the movement, constant volume occurs, that is too resulted by the fixed temperature of alternative cooling and heating. Therefore, solar energy can be used as the perfect source for the Stirling engine. Solar heat can be used as the input for the engine that can in turn reduce the carbon-di-oxide emission in the environment facilitating the prospects for the control of environment pollution. Evaluation of significance of the Stirling Engine: It is impossible to deny the necessity of approaching towards renewable energy rather using the traditional fossil fuel energy. Reckless exploitation of the non-renewable sources without paying no attention for the future generation has led the situation where the scarcity of the energy will become the most concerned matter for the livelihood (Twidell and Weir 2015). To make people aware of the problem regrading the depletion of the resources government from the different countries across the globe has taken initiatives; one of the inclusions in those lists of initiative is the use of solar energy as the alternative energy, available from the fossil fuel. Hence, the significance of the Stirling Engine can be easily assessed from all this actions. Using solar energy massively as the source of the Stirling engine will definitely influence the reduction of the Green House Gas effect making the earth liveable for the upcoming centuries (Lee, Speight and Loyalka 2014). Another important a spect of this engine is that it requires fewer amounts of external efforts for the accomplishment of its operation. On addition, requirement of the maintenance is very low for this engine as well as it can use various heat producing sources ranges from mW to MW (Bassam 2013). Stirling energy involves working fluids that possess specific heat capacity, higher thermal conductivity, lower density and viscosity so that better performance can be obtained. However, there are some contradictions regarding the cost efficiency of the Stirling engines. Installation cost of this engine is higher comparison to the regular combustion engines. Moreover, appropriate knowledge, research is required along with the advanced technological support for the successful accomplishment. Another problem is requirement of the more space than other engines as Stirling engine is heavier and large in size. Therefore, some suggestions can be put to enhance the quality of the performance of the Stirling engine. Working function of the Stirling engine is based on the difference of the high temper in two points that is why it would not work if the temperature is low. Stigka, Paravantis, and Mihalakakou (2014), suggested that principle of the Stirling engine, based on the LTD solar power can be implemented on the usual Stirling engines; it will allow the engine to work on the low temperature. Another recommendation is the use of molten salt in the solar powered Stirling engine so that it can work at night or in a bad when solar heat is not available properly. Finally more efforts must be given by the governments and other organizational bodies for the acknowledgement of the positive impact and usefulness of the solar powered Stirling engines in the society and environment. Research aims and objectives Research Questions The research questions of the study are as follows: What is the future of Stirling solar powered engines in the commercial field? How the efficiency of the Stirling Engine can be improved for increased productivity? Aims and objectives The aim of the research is to redefine the concept of solar powered engines especially Stirling engines and to provide proper solutions to increase its efficiency. The main aim can be subdivided into few sub goals such as To improve the utility of the Stirling solar powered engines. To gain a proper understanding about solar powered engines. To explain the effectiveness of Stirling engines in commercial field. Methodology/ Theoretical content Research methodology is defined as the systematic review of the research topic that is undertaken in the study for conducting the research is analysed by using qualitative and quantitative research methods. By implementing these techniques of research, the viewers will gather a deeper understanding of the theoretical content of the selected research topic (Tian and Zhao 2013). By using quantitative research methods, the numerical data that will be obtained from the findings and analysis will help the researcher in providing solutions to the research problem (Luo et al. 2016). At the end, the report will provide recommendations to increase the efficiency and utilization of Stirling solar powered engines. The research methodology consists of researches that are based on collection of secondary data from the credible sources of scholarly articles, peer reviewed journals, newspaper articles, books, etc. The literature review section will help the viewers in collecting a proper knowledge about the different concepts of utility of Stirling engine (Py et al. 2013). In this research, there are two hypotheses that can be derived from the above research questions that are already developed. The two hypotheses can be categorised under H0 i.e. null hypothesis and H1 i.e. alternative hypothesis. H0: Stirling solar powered engines are considered as the trusted source of power in the future. H1: Stirling solar powered engines are not considered as the trusted source of power in the future. The two mentioned hypothesis are based on the research questions, aims and sub goals. However, to prove the hypotheses, a detailed analysis of the solar powered engines should be studied. The secondary sources will provide relevant data about the theoretical knowledge of the mechanisms of the solar engines as well as the ways that can increase their level of efficiency (Kuravi et al. 2013). The study will focus on the utility of other combustible engines with Stirling solar powered engines. The qualitative and quantitative research will help in finding analysis of the research topic and prove that the null hypothesis i.e. solar power engines i.e. Stirling engines are considered as beneficial and trusted source of power in the future (Saed and Tlili 2015). Experimental Setup and potential limitations For conducting the research, experimental set up is necessary in order to explain the mechanisms of solar engines along with Stirling engines. A LTD Stirling engine is different from a typical Stirling engine. An LTD Stirling engine has a warm side and a cool side. The difference in temperature is the mechanism of working of these engines. The difference is very small in a way it helps in broadening of selection of potential heat sources. The advantage of LTD Stirling engine is that it can run on the temperature difference between the surrounding air and the hand. However, it has no component for refrigeration. Currently, the LTD Stirling engines are used in small-scale purpose. Hence, it can be assumed that large-scale LTD Stirling engines are more efficient than small-scale engines when it is working in commercial purpose. The experiment will be conducted on large-scale Stirling engines. The effectiveness of the large scale engines are more than that of the small-scale Stirling eng ines that are currently using. The limitations of the experimental research are based on the research aims and objectives i.e. the efficiency of the LTD Stirling engine. The experimental set up of the Stirling engine explains that it is more beneficial than normal Stirling engines. The heat transfer in the engines is the main point of the advantage of these engines in practice. The manufacturing of large scale Stirling engines are not an easy task when compared to the manufacturing of small scale Stirling engines (Kongtragool 2013). Results, outcome and relevance The results of the research prove that Stirling engines can be a better option when compared to other combustible engines. The research includes a variety of views of different authors of scholarly articles and peer reviewed journals regarding the advantages of Stirling engines over other engines (Ahmadi et al. 2013). The results of this research illustrates about the benefits and mechanisms of Stirling engine. It is pointed out that the solar engines are free from pollution and are very economical to use in the practical field. The null hypothesis is proved to be true i.e. Stirling engines are considered as the trusted sources of providing eco friendly power to the environment (Henry and Prasher 2014). The outcome of the work is positive. It is related to the future prospects of the engine. The expected outcome supports that this type of engine are considered as effective heat engines that can be replaced in case of other combustible engines. It can be said that these engines are the future of serving power to the industries (Dunham et al. 2014). The research will mitigate the gap of the previous research that was conducted earlier. By pointing the gap in the previous literatures, the recommendations of effectiveness of the Stirling engines will be provided so that they can work properly in the near future. The study that is being conducted is highly relevant. The information that are provided in the study will help the viewers in gaining a proper understanding of the different aspects of Stirling engines (Ahmadi et al. 2013). It illustrated that these engines are considered as future prospects of providing power to many sectors of industries. The cost of production of power from these engines might be high in initial times, but scientists are finding ways to reduce the cost of production of power from solar energy. The major advantage is that it is pollution free and is economical for use.

The operational efficiency of these engines can be increased if they are properly used for the generation of power. Apart from that, the most important issue is the environmental concern. Usage of Stirling engines as the source of power is the most trusted way of protecting the environment from getting polluted, as there is no part of combustion. The working mechanism is totally different from the engines that are generating power from non-renewable sources of energy. However, it is seen that there are many researches that has been already conducted previously related to this research topic. Hence, this research will help in filling the gap of the earlier works.

Buffalo Bill And Deadwood Dick Essay Example For Students

Buffalo Bill And Deadwood Dick Essay I Cant Hear a Damn Word Youre Saying Those who deprecate the free supply of such ficticious works as the public demands, are generally in favor of the entire exclusion of fiction of a sensational cast, a course which will unavoidably result in alienating from the library the very class most needing its beneficial influence' Denning, 49. It is obvious here that William Fletcher attached more significance and importance to dime novels than most serious intellectuals did in the late 1800s. In fact, most people, particularly in the middle class, thought dime novels were vulgar and that they caused young children to imitate the actions of the likes of Buffalo Bill and Deadwood Dick. But both the production and the popularity of dime novels especially among the working class suggest that something more profound than cheap entertainment compelled them to read these works of fiction. Contrary to what many literary scholars and those in the middle class believedand perhaps as indicated by the various reactions to them, these plotlines and characters were appealing to the working class on more than just one level. The rate at which dime novels were produced is astounding. William Wallace Cook began by receiving a title and synopsis for a serial, and would then write, adapt and revise installments to meet the ever-changing specifications of the publisher. Almost all the accounts tell the story of novels written at exceptional speed in marathon sessions, and all emphasize the sheer quantity of writing Denning, 21. It was not uncommon for authors to write entire pieces in one week or less, some not bothering to edit their work. Many admitted that their motivation for writing stories at such a pace was money, but most maintained that the material contained in their stories was not immoral or vulgar, but rather, useful. It is interesting to note here that, while the adverse reaction against dime novels eventually became a reflection of the class that was supposedly reading them, the authors themselves were not from the working class. In fact, the dime novel was a commercial product of a burgeoning industry employing relatively educated professionalswriters who also worked as journalists, teachers, or clerks 45. The judgments passed on those reading the dime novels was limited to the working class; but the very material that was thought to be immoral was invented in the minds of middle class people. In addition, while the working class may have been the target audience, perhaps in an attempt to redefine class boundaries, in actuality, the population of dime novel readers transcended those very boundaries. The action- and romance-packed stories appealed to all: men, women, children, both young and old. For people such as bankers and capitalists, dime novels served as more of a distraction from the North/South divide that the country was actually experiencing Reading the West, 32 If the popularity of these novels was so widespread, even extending into middle-class interests, one must wonder why the reaction by literary critics and other middle-class people was so strong, and at times, excessive. Critics were unsure of how dime novels would impact the working class readers and what action, if any, they might provoke. Either they were a narcotic escape from daily life with no genuine symbolic meaning or, with Comstock, a symbolic universe so potents as to erase the real world from the minds of readers, leading them to act out the scenes depicted in dime novels 54. Anthony Comstock was the leader of these latter believers, calling editors of such fiction Satans efficient agents who would ultimately destroy the young Denning, 51. He eventually began arresting people who sold these novels or those who allowed children under sixteen years of age to have access to dime novels. Analysis of short stories "A Rose for Emily" and "A House of Flesh" EssayWhen he killed others, it was only because his life or someones close to him was immediately in danger; the reasons were always very personal and never frivolous. In addition, regardless of his pursuits, it was clear that Buffalo Bill always kept his mother and family in mind. These indications were always at the end of each chapter, where the main character would ride home and pay off the mortgage or buy food for his hungry family. The best of the story papers,' notes W. H. Bishop, reward virtue and punish vice. Their dependence upon the family keeps them, as a rule, free of dangerous appeals to the lower passions' 53. Perhaps for women dime novels disrupted the norm a bit more than those stories targeted at young boys. In stories such as Buffalo Bills, women were protected, one might say respected, but their ability to fight and to be successful on the frontier was never actualized, because it was never women who fought, only men dressed as women. Novels such as The Hidden Hand and Willful Gaynell presented images of women opposite those in which they were seen in real life. These stories were a reflection of the emergence of the working girl, Capitola unable to find work as a girl and Gaynell as a headstrong factory girl. In the first, Capitola dresses as a boy reversing traditional gender switches in order to get a job. One circumstance he had particularly remarked, notes the author of The Hidden Hand, E. D. E. N. Southworth, the language used by the poor child during her examination was much superior to the slang she had previously affected, to support her assumed character of newsboy 41. What is implied here is that girls were more articulate and perhaps more learned than boys. More importantly, this gender switching reaffirmed that gender is often performance and not entirely natural, and that women could do men just as successfully as men could do women. Dime novels were never as morally contaminating as the middle class suspected they would be. One might even argue that their anticipated explosive effect was, in fact, a creation of the middle class and may have not been as disruptive had this class not expressed such disgust and concern. This reaction seems to be indicative of the fact that dime novels provided more for the working class than merely cheap entertainment although that was just as important. Their production, circulationa and the reaction they provoked all contributed to what we might call the Dime Novel Scare of the late 1800s. And while the fiction stories created an excitement in the working class, a sense that there was potential in their own lives to be like the characters they read about, they did not cause a mass alliance of and rebellion by the working class. What they did was allow the working class to see dime novels as an arena much like the one they lived in, one that saw class struggles and the introduction of the potential of both men and women, regardless of class.

The way the play shows the differences between the generations, with particular references to Mr Birling and Sheila Essay Example

The way the play shows the differences between the generations, with particular references to Mr Birling and Sheila Essay The differences between the generations are very clear. Even at the very beginning of the play it is shown: Sheila: Youre squiffy Mrs Birling: What an expression, Sheila! Here it is showing that Mrs Birling does not really understand how the younger people talk. It means that the audience can see at once that there is a difference between the younger people and the older people.

The first signs of the generation gap is in Act 2, where Sheila says: Dont interfere, please, Father. Gerald knows what I mean, and you apparently dont This is the first real sign of tension. It makes the audience more sympathetic towards Sheila, because her father does not understand what has happened between her and Gerald. This is because the older generation do not understand how the younger generation work out their problems. Sheila has already explained how she and Gerald should sort the problems out, but her father still thinks that he can fix the situation. The main difference between Sheila and Birling is shown after the Inspector leaves. It is whether the Inspector was really a police inspector, and whether it matters if he was or not: But it doesnt make any real difference, yknow Sheila is sympathetic towards Eva, whereas Birling is more concerned about his public image. The audience are sympathetic towards Eva, and so it makes them feel resentful towards Birling. This shows a clear division between the two generations, and how they view the situation. This has a dramatic impact on the audience. They will not have viewed Birling in this way until he seems unsympathetic towards what happened to the girl. They feel betrayed by his character. Birling accuses Sheila and Eric of telling the Inspector too much, however, he defends his wife: No, not you, my dear. But these two Birling wants to clear his conscious and blame someone else, whereas Sheila wants to share the blame, and accept her responsibility. The audience feel that Birling has a weak character because he has to side with his wife, and blame his children. They feel that no one should blame their children in this way, and so they are unsympathetic towards Birling.
