Electrical Engineering Design For Revolutionary Energy Systems

To design an electrical system (including line diagram & circuit diagram) for a state-of-the-art magnesium reactor that produces hydrogen.The product heats up 2 standard graphite crucibles with a volume of 0.00348 m3 each to 1345 degrees Celsius through an electrical heating element to superheat and smelt magnesium metal. There are 4.196 kg of 99.99% pure magnesium metal pellets with 3mm diameter in each reactor. Water will be injected into the reactor through 2 atomizers. There will be 359.9kJ of heat emitted by the reaction per mole of Mg reacted, one must recycle this heat to generate electricity most cheaply and efficiently possible. Hydrogen is generated through this reaction and the gas must be captured, passed through a filter and funneled to a 10kW fuel cell downstream. The device stores the electricity generated through heat and co-powers the load in parallel with the fuel cell.

Mechanical Engineering Design For Revolutionary Energy Systems

To design a mechanical system (including 3D CAD renders & piping schedules) for a state-of-the-art magnesium reactor that produces hydrogen and electricity. The product heats up a standard graphite or steel crucible with a minimum volume of 0.0188 m3 each to 1345 degrees Celsius through an electrical heating element to superheat and smelt magnesium metal. Liquid carbon dioxide or any other suitable fire retardant is sent into the smelter to avoid auto-ignition. Water is superheated to vapour and also funnelled into the reaction chamber to produce hydrogen. This production of steam will then be sustained by the waste heat generated from the reaction.There will be 359.9kJ of heat emitted by the reaction per mole of Mg reacted, one must recycle this heat to generate electricity most cheaply and efficiently possible (through an appropriate thermodynamics cycle)The hydrogen generated through this reaction must be captured and separated from any potential fire retardant gas. The hydrogen also must be passed through a filter and funnelled to a small fuel cell downstream.The device stores the electricity generated through heat in an internal battery to provide initial energy for the start-up of the system. The instrumentation of the device and the load should be powered by the remaining electricity generated through the thermodynamics cycle in parallel with the fuel cell.
