A closed, rigid, 0.40 m3 tank is filled with 15 kg of
water. The initial pressure is p1 = 20 bar. The
water is cooled until the pressure is p2= 4
bar.
Determine the initial quality, x1, and the heat
transfer, in kJ.

For a bicycle, the nominal diameter of the outer race of a ball bearing and the inner surface of the hub is 62 mm. What should be the maximum dimension for the hub if a medium drive hole basis fit is desired? Use a preferred fit.

Compare the yearly greenhouse gas emissions from 1 GWe (gigawatt-electric) power stations powered by natural gas and wind turbines. The energy content of natural gas is 55 MJ/kg, and the electrical converting efficiency is 40%. Wind turbines do not emit CO2 as they harness the wind but emissions do occur during the manufacturing of the turbine. For USA, assume the CO2 emission per GDP is approximately 500 Tonnes / $ 1 million of GDP. For wind turbines, it costs $2 million for a 1 MWe plant, which has an efficiency of 0.3, and the yearly maintenance is approximately 2% of the initial cost. Assume the average lifetime of a wind turbine is 20 years.

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar,
300 K, with a volumetric flow rate of 48 m3/min and
exits at 12 bar, 400 K. Heat transfer occurs at a rate of 8 kW from
the compressor to its surroundings.
Assuming the ideal gas model for air and neglecting kinetic and
potential energy effects, determine the power input, in kW.

Problem 4.084 SI A rigid copper tank, initially containing 1.5 m3 of air at 295 K, 4 bar, is connected by a valve to a large supply line carrying air at 295 K, 15 bar. The valve is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with air to a pressure of 15 bar. Finally, the air in the tank is at 320 K. The copper tank, which has a mass of 20 kg, is at the same temperature as the air in the tank, initially and finally. The specific heat of the copper is c = 0.385 kJ/kg · K. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, determine: (a) the initial and final mass of air within the tank, each in kg, and (b) the heat transfer to the air and copper tank from the surroundings, in kJ, ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects.

The value of f depends on two independent variables x and y as defined below:
f(x,y)=x2+y2−x+3cos(x)sin(y)
Function f has a minimum in the neighborhood of the origin (i.e. [0 0]). Find x and y which minimize f.
Note: You are not allowed to use MATLAB built-in functions for optimization. Follow the logic of the derivative test:
The minimum of f occurs where:
∂f∂x=0∂f∂y=0
