ASSESSMENT QUESTION:

Kevin is the owner of Flyties Pty Ltd. He has just built a large, state-of-the-art indoor skydiving arena. Kevin organizes a competition where entrants compete to see who can complete the most intricate aerial acrobatics whilst suspended in the air. Each person pays a registration fee of $100 and must have certifiable, prior skydiving experience. Kevin facilitates the event and controls the fans which simulates free-falling. The competition runs for four hours, with each person having a maximum of ten minutes to perform their acrobatic routine. This is the first year running the event. The venue is full of spectators and is very crowded.

Indoor skydiving operates by using giant fans housed in a vertical tunnel which expel air at up to 200km/h. Given the rising cost of electricity, Kevin is finding it hard to keep his current price structure using standard indoor skydiving fans. Kevin’s friend, Lucy, has recently completed her Master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering.

Lucy has recently developed a new type of fan that is much more energy efficient because it uses technology from windfarms to reverse cycle energy into an internal lithium-ion battery. This fan is yet to be approved by the Australian Government as safe to use for indoor skydiving as there is a risk that the lithium-ion battery may heat up and combust. Lucy is sure this will not happen due to her crafty new engineering techniques. Generally, skydiving fans require radiators to stop them from overheating. Kevin decides to use the new fans in his skydiving tunnels but considers it unnecessary to install radiators as Lucy has assured him that there is no risk of overheating.
