A rectangular car tank 20m long, 4m wide and 3m deep is completely open at the top. If it is initially filled to the top: (a) How much liquid will be spilled if it is given a horizontal acceleration of 0.3g in the direction of its length? (b) What is the maximum hydrostatic force acting on the side opposite the direction of the acceleration. (c) Determine the volume of the remaining water at the tank.

Explain the finite element method for stress analysis as you would to a high school student who is interested in becoming an engineer. Note that this could be the deciding factor for the student to choose Engineering at University. As such keep your answer relevant, interesting and succinct (furthermore, the student is young so they get bored easily...).

Students will design a mutually operating gear system under the conditions given in this question. (Sizing will be done as a result of calculations according to working conditions, material, construction status and strength). In this design, shaft and bearing calculations will not be made. Only mutual gears will be designed according to the data and acceptance. The student will make assumptions for the values and information that are not given and will explain why he made this assumption.
Input Power: 8 Kw
Input Cycle : 1224

A high carbon steel shaft is used in an engine and subjected to
different loads. In order to
analyse the stress in the shaft, consider a rectangular element
within the material. This
element is subjected to compressive stress of 135 MPa and shear
stress of 166MPa in the
vertical direction. The compressive stress in the horizontal
direction is 176MPa with a shear
stress of 115MPa.
a. Sketch the state of stress on this element.
b. Determine the maximum and minimum normal and shear stresses and
their plane of
orientation.
c. If the yield strength of the material is 350MPa, Poison’s ratio
is 0.32, and factor of
safety is 5, determine the diameter of the shaft to avoid
failure.
d. What will be the difference in the analysis above if there is an
additional torsional
load (T) and bending moment (M).
e. Show how you can use any theory of failure to design this
shaft.
f. What are the challenges of applying the theories of failure in
actual engineering
practice and as a design engineer, how would you deal with these
challenges.

A syngas fuel consists of these following volumetric
composition: 75% methane and 25% butane. The syngas at 100 kg/hour
and 25oC is mixed with 20% excess air at 30oC. Due to incomplete
combustion mechanics, 10%v of the syngas carbon is partially
oxidized and forms carbon monoxide.
If the products of combustion are at 600K, obtain the combustion
heat transfer rate from the system.

a) Briefly write down the basic heat gains that make up the
cooling load in items.
b) A desired feature from refrigerants is that the evaporation
pressure is high and the condensing pressure is low. Explain the
main reason for this by drawing the T-s diagram of a single-stage
cooling cycle.
