A single stage steam turbine is supplied with steam at 5 bars, 200 C at the rate of 50kgmin. It exhausts into a condenser at a pressure of 0.2 bars. The blade speed is 400msec. Nozzles are inclined at an angle of 20 to the plane of the wheel and outlet blade angle 30. Neglecting friction losses, the power developed by the turbine will be?

Please calculate the air consumption rate below in litre/sec
The forge contains one large pneumatically operated hammer driven by 1 double acting cylinder, piston rod at one end only, bore 400mm, piston rod diameter 100mm, stroke 680mm. The piston executes 9 up strokes and 9 down strokes in 1.5 minutes then does nothing for 3.5 minutes, then repeats the cycle. The air is regulated to enter at 590 kPa.g. and in this machine the pressure in the cylinder may be taken to be this for the full stroke.

As a body is projected to a high altitude above the earths surface,
the variation of the acceleration of gravity with respect to
altitude y must be taken into account. Neglecting air resistance,
this acceleration is determined from the formula a=?g0[R2/(R+y)2],
where g0 = 9.81 m/s2 is the constant gravitational acceleration at
sea level, R = 6356 km is the radius of the earth, and the positive
direction is measured upward.
Part A
With what velocity does the particle strike the earth if it is
released from rest at an altitude y0 = 800 km?
Express your answer using three significant figures and include the
appropriate units

7-7 Consider the same compressor as problems 7-5 and 7-6. Calculate the rate of entropy generation (in kW/K) of the real compressor.
Solutions:
Problem 7-1 & 7-2
7-1 Your company wants to buy a compressor that will operate adiabatically to compress 2 kg/s of saturated R-134a vapor at -15°C to a pressure of 1000 kPa. What is the minimum work (in kW) required? Use the right sign convention for work. Hint: The minimum work is that of the reversible process. Start by simplifying the entropy balance!
Ans: W = -75.92
7-2 Consider the same situation as problem 7-1. Your company wants to buy a compressor that will operate adiabatically to compress 2 kg/s of saturated R-134a vapor at -15°C to a pressure of 1000 kPa. What is the minimum outlet temperature (in°C) required? Hint: just like before, the minimum outlet temperature occurs when the process is reversible.
Ans: T2 = 47
7-5 You build the compressor from Participation Problems 7-1 and 7-2 and find that the exit temperature is actually 60°C. If the real compressor is still adiabatic, what is the real work (in kW) ? Use the right sign convention for work.
Ans: -105.38
7-6 Consider the same compressor from Participation Problems 7-5 with a real exit temperature of 60°C. What is the efficiency (expressed as a %) of the compressor?
Ans: 71.4
Only need 7-7

According to Moore’s Law ( an observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, a cofounder of Intel Corporation, the number of transistors that would fit per square inch on a semiconductor integrated circuit doubles approximately every 2 years. In 1965, the state of the art technology allowed for 30 transistors per square inch. Moore’s Law says that transistor density can be predicted by d = 30*2(t/2) where t is measured in years.
1. Letting t = 0 represent the year 1965 and t = 46 represent 2011, use this model to calculate the predicted number of transistors per square inch for the 46 years from 1965 to 2011 (use 2 year increments). Display the results in a clearly labeled table.Plot the results using a semilogy plot.
The total transistor count on integrated circuits produced over the 40 year period from 1971 thru 2011 is shown in Table P5.19
.2. Create a semilogy plot of the actual data, using circles only to indicate the data points (no lines).
3. Include a second line representing the predicted values using Moore’s Law, based on the 1971 count as the starting point. Add legends and titles. 4. Plot all 3 of these plots onto a single figure.5.
Has Gordon’s Law proved valid or not?

Discuss in detail recent developments in the competition and colaboration between american and japanese automobile manufacturers. Do recent improvements in american competitiveness reflect improvements in engineering, production, organizational structure, and human resource policy or are these improvements simply a result of the strenght of Japanese currency, which makes japanese cars too expensive?
