A certain VOC compound has measured vapor pressures equal to 0.1316 psia at 31.65° F, and 0.2034 psia at 44.57° F. Determine the constants A and B in a Classius-Claperon type equation for estimating vapor pressures of this VOC. Use the equation to estimate the vapor pressure of the VOC at 77.0 deg F. Ans. 0.55 psia.

An air-standard Carnot cycle is executed in a closed system between the temperature limits of 350 and 1200 K. The pressures before and after the isothermal compression are 150 and 300 kPa, respectively. If the net work output per cycle is 0.5 kJ, determine (a) the maximum pressure in the cycle, (b) the heat transfer to air, and (c) the mass of air. Assume variable specific heats for air.

1a. The latitude in Ames Iowa is 42 degrees. Most outside walls on homes are 10 feet high. As an energy conscious building designer, you would like the wall overhang to shade 90 percent of the wall at the summer solstice. Perform an analysis/design to determine the length of the overhang. show all work and discussion
1b. The latitude of UH is 30.6 degree (remember at the noon equinox solar angle from the vertical is 30.6 degree) Determine the degree above the horizon the sun sits at noon on the winter solstice. Repeat for the summer solstice. use sketches to perform and illustrate calculations

For a catapult project I must make a MATLAB code that should make use of the projectile motion
equations so for a given input range R (horizontal distance from the catapult to the target), the code
outputs the necessary velocity and firing angle of the catapult. What is the code for this? I am lost.
