A section of pipeline is being lowered from a vessel to the sea bed. Assuming that the section of pipe is vertical whilst it is being lowered, at what point in the process will the wave forces be maximum? You should illustrate your answer with a sketch and refer to equations to explain why the forces are at their maximum in this position

Mechanical systems must usually operate over a range of conditions. Unfortu- nately, one or more resonance points may have to be passed through during sys- tem startup to operating state or during system shutdown. How can this type of transitory resonance problem be addressed? What analytical tools could you use to convince someone of your approach?

In a gas turbine plant, air is compressed through a pressure ratio of 6 from 15 ?C. It is then heated to the maximum permissible temperature of 750 ?C and expanded in two stages each of expansion ratio ?6, the air being reheated between the stages to 750 ?C. A heat exchanger allows the heating of the compressed air through 75 percent of the maximum range possible. Calculate the cycle efficiency, the work ratio and the net work output per kg of air. The isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and turbine are 0.80 and 0.85, respectively.
answer(0.324, 0.385, 152 kJ/kg)

A combustion process consumes 1.25 g/s of fuel. The fuel has a
heat of combustion of 45 MJ/kg.
The air flow rate is 19 g/s and the air enters the engine at 300 K,
1 atm. Determine:
(1) The outlet temperature of the air.
(2) The air-fuel ratio
(3) The heat added to the air.
* Assume the cold-air standard model applies.

A solar cell module 100 cm x 50 cm which generate power 100 W peak per module. Solar power plant planned to generate electrical power to a village with 50 houses. If each of house is given electrical power 200 W with consumption of 5 hours and the capability of solar cell to catch the sun at peak average 6 hours per day. So:
a) Calculate Total needed solar cell modules
b) Calculate total of battery storage needed that have capacity storage 1000 AH. Assumed at the time of charging battery, houses not allowed to use electricity.

3c) List and explain why AISI 1050 Plain Carbon Steel is more prone to cracking and distortion as compared to AISI 01 Tool Steel during hardening heat treatment.
remarks: For the question above, shouldn’t it be the other way round? AISI 01 Tool steel have higher hardenability so quenching in water will crack in comparision to plain carbon steel that has low hardenability so it requires fast cooling. Need help with this, thanks.
