Develop a simple MIS (Management Information System)
that consists of a simple database (a text file). The system
manages to dynamically input record/data into the database. The
data from the database can be sorted, searched and updated. User
also should be able to add new records/data, remove any data and
etc.
Here are some ideas of MIS that can be developed:
1. Hotel reservation system.
2. Students management system.
3. Payroll management system.
4. Bus/Railway/Plane ticketing system.
5. Clinic record management system.

1. You are to do a preliminary design study for a small
demonstration steam turbine power plant.
- Steam will be provided by a small steam generator fired by
natural gas. - Your system will take in steam at 30 bar
and 400 oC.
- The steam passes through a two stage turbine. At a pressure of 10
bars, the steam leaves the first stage of the turbine and will pass
through a reheat loop in the steam generator which will boost the
temperature back up to 400 oC at this pressure. The steam will then
enter the second stage of the turbine.
- When the steam leaves the turbine, the quality should be at least
95% at the turbine exit / condenser inlet.
- The design condenser pressure is 0.70
bar.
- Heat is removed from the condenser and rejected to the
environment through a cooling tower.
