in my energy systems class, a technical elective taken by mechanical engineering students.The course is basically an applied thermodynamics class, covering conventional andunconventional power and refrigeration systems. Over the course of two class periods, I derivedthe equation resulting in the “Hubbert curve,” and then had students use it to model theproduction rates of various fossil fuels, predicting the years of peak production rate anddepletion.The exponential modelThe exponential model assumes that the instantaneous rate of production is proportional to thecumulative production, Q: dQ ? aQ (1

Å c m% w ÖPressure loss due to the throttle valve is found by multiplying the valve closure (%throttle) by aninput change in pressure per %-closed value. A conditional check was included to ensure thepressure does not go below zero. Currently it is assumed that the valve is isenthalpic (constantenthalpy) and that the exit temperature is the saturation temperature at the exit pressure.There was not an easy way to determine the power out of the Variac as a function of controlknob position (%Variac). Therefore, the power delivered ( Q% input ) is computed from the knob Page 11.461.7position and a power per % knob position value. The
