Consider a converging-diverging nozzle with an exit-to-throat area of 3. The inlet reservoir pressure is 1 atm and the exit pressure is 0.5 atm.
(a) For this pressure ratio a normal shock will stand somewhere inside the divergent portion of nozzle. Calculate the location of shock (A/At =?).
(b) back pressure if the flow were isentropic throughout.

In a combined cycle of gas turbine, can a steam turbine drive the same generator driven by the gas turbine? Or it must drives a separate generator?
Also, is there any gas power station that uses a gas other than natural gas? Please give an example. Also, is there a gas power station that uses synthesis gas?

A disk cam rotating at 200 rpm lifts a radial roller follower with simple harmonic motion through a maximum displacement of 2.5 in. while the cam rotates through 90°. There is then a dwell of the follower for 180° of cam rotation, followed by a return of the follower in simple harmonic motion in the remaining 90° of cam rotation. For a follower weight of 8 lb, determine the inertia force of the follower for each 15° of cam rotation and plot the result. Determine and plot the resultant of the weight force and inertia force. Determine the required spring constant of a spring which will maintain contact of the follower with the cam throughout the cam rotation.

Write a program in MATLAB that processes a series of employees to determine the days until/since a given employee’s birthday as follows: To populate the employees' data, read in a comma separated file containing First Name, Last Name, Birthday Month, Birthday Day, and Salary. Use the file uploaded in Loud Cloud as an example. Build up an array of employee records (i.e., structures) where each record contains the employee's first name, last name, birthday (stored as an integer representing days from January 1st), and salary. Create a function that takes two numbers (month and day) as input and returns a single number (days since January 1st). This function will be used to "translate" the birthday format from that of the input file to that required for the data structures. 1. Create an array containing 12 values in which each number represents the days in each month of the year (i.e., 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31). 2. Subtract 1 from the input month and iterate over the array, adding in the value until you have the days in (month-1) months. 3. Add to this the number of the birthday day. Prompt the user to supply an employee’s first name. Using the result, search through the array of structures to find the requested employee. Display the number of days between the current date and the employee’s birthday. Note that this will be a negative number if the employee’s birthday has already passed.
