Imagine you are an automotive engineer for Toyoto Motor Corporation. You are test driving a new cruise control system, and you are driving around the test track at 55 miles per hour. You set the cruise control to 57miles per hour. The cruise controller takes over and speeds up to 59 miles per hour, then slows to 56 miles per hour, and finally settles at 58 miles per hour. Given this result, what adjustments would you make to the car's cruise control system to improve overall performance?

Q1/Read the following passage carefully:
Assyria was kingdom of northern Mesopotamia that became the center
of one of the great empires of the
ancient Middle East. It was located in what is now northern Iraq
and southeastern Turkey.
The Assyrians were perhaps most famous for their fearsome army.
They were a warrior society where
fighting was a part of life. ... They were known throughout the
land as cruel and ruthless warriors. Two
things that made the Assyrians great warriors were their deadly
chariots and their iron weapons. Battle of
Nineveh is conventionally dated between 613 and 611 BC, with 612 BC
being the most supported date.
Rebelling against the Assyrians, an allied army which combined the
forces of Medes and the Babylonians
besieged Nineveh and sacked 750 hectares of what was, at that time,
the greatest city in the world.
Assyria was at the height of its power, but persistent difficulties
controlling Babylonia would soon
develop into a major conflict. At the end of the seventh century,
the Assyrian empire collapsed under the
assault of Babylonians from southern Mesopotamia and Medes,
newcomers who were to establish a
kingdom in Iran. The city was destroyed in 612 BCE by a coalition
led by Babylonians and Medes which
toppled the Assyrian Empire. Sizable Assyrian populations only
remain in Syria, where an estimated
400,000 Assyrians live, and in Iraq, where an estimated 300,000
Assyrians live.
Answer the following questions:
1- What country is Assyria now?
2- What is the Assyrian empire famous for?
3- Who Conquered Assyrian empire?
4- How did Assyrian empire collapse?
5- Do Assyrians still exist?

Steam enters the nozzle of an impulse turbine stage at 60 bar and 500 °C and leaves at 20 bar. Flow is adiabatic and reversible. The nozzle angle is 20°. The moving blade is symmetric, travels at optimum velocity, and assumed to be frictionless. It is also assumed that there is neither expansion nor contraction of the steam flow through the blade passage. Draw the velocity diagram and calculate (a) the blade efficiency and (b) the stage efficiency.

A hot liquid is filled in a spherical tank with an inner
diameter of 3 m and a wall thickness of 3 cm. The tank wall is made
of a material with a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W/m∙K. The hot
liquid in the tank causes the inner surface temperature to be
100°C, while the tank outer surface is exposed to air at 20°C and
has an emissivity of 0.35. Determine the outer surface temperature
of the tank. Assume that the properties of air can be evaluated at
40°C and 1 atm pressure. Is this a good assumption?
