Project 1 - Parsing NASA thermodynamic data

AIM: To write a program in MATLAB/OCTAVE to create a Rankine Cycle Simulator.   OBJECTIVE: code should calculate the state points of the Rankine Cycle (any type of your choice) based on user inputs. plot the corresponding T-s and h-s plots for the given set of inputs.   Required Inputs: Turbine Inlet temperature…

AIM: To write a program in MATLAB/OCTAVE to parse the thermodynamic data file and then calculate the thermodynamic properties of various gaseous species.   EQUATION/FORMULA USED: write a function that extracts the 14 coefficients and calculates the enthalpy, entropy, and specific heats for all the species in the 'THERMO.dat'…

AIM: To write a program in MATLAB/OCTAVE to fit a linear, quadratic and cubic polynomial for the Cp data.   EQUATION/FORMULA USED: Linear equation for linear curve fit: `y = a.x + b` Quadratic equation for quadratic curve fit: `y = a.x^2 + b.x + c` Cubic equation for cubic curve fit: `y = a.x^3 + b.x^2…

AIM: To write a program in MATLAB/OCTAVE to simulate the motion of a simple pendulum. EQUATION/FORMULA USED: `(d^2theta)/dt^2 + b/m (d theta)/dt + g/L sintheta = 0` `theta = theta1` `(d theta)/dt = (d theta1)/dt = theta2` `(d^2theta)/dt = (d^2theta1)/dt^2 = d/dt((d theta1)/dt) = (d theta2)/dt` `d/dt((d theta1)/dt)…

AIM: To write a program in MATLAB/OCTAVE that can solve an Otto cycle and make plots for it.   EQUATION/FORMULA USED:   `V/V_c = 1 + 1/2(r_c -1)[R + 1 - costheta - (R^2 - sin^2)^(1/2)]`     OBJECTIVE: To plot a PV diagram To find out the thermal efficiency of the engine.   THEORY:…

AIM: To write a program in MATLAB/OCTAVE to simulate the forward kinematics of a 2R Robotic Arm.   EQUATION/FORMULA USED: `x0 = 0` `y0 = 0` `x1 = l1*cos(theta1)` `y1 = l1*sin(theta1)` `x2 = x1 + l2*cos(theta2)` `y2 = y1 + l2*sin(theta2)` OBJECTIVE: To understand the kinematics of linkages. To understand the movement…

AIM: Write a program to calculate the drag force on the bicycle using MATLAB. Also, plot the graph for the following :  Velocity v/s Drag Force Drag coefficient v/s Drag Force   EQUATION/FORMULA USED:                                …
