A proposed steam power plant design consists of an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat and regeneration. Steam enters Turbine 1 at P1 and T1 at the rate of m1 and exits at P2. A fraction (y') of the steam exiting Turbine 1 is diverted to an open feedwater heater while the remainder is reheated to T3 before entering Turbine 2. The condenser operates at P4. Saturated liquid exits the condenser and is fed to Pump 1. The outlet of Pump 1 is fed into the open feedwater heater. Saturated liquid exits the feedwater heater and is fed to Pump 2. All turbines and pumps are isentropic.

--Given Values--
m1 (kg/s) = 50
P1 (Bar) = 140
T1 (C) = 560
P2 (Bar) = 10
T3 (C) = 500
P4 (Bar) = 0.08

A brass rod 150.00 mm long and 5.00 mm in diameter extends horizontally from a casting at 200°C. The rod is in an air environment with T∞ =20°C and h=30 W/m2·K. What is the temperature of the rod 37.50, 75.00, and 150.00 mm from the casting?

write a VBA code to convert an arbitrary positive binary fractional number (0< number<1) to equivalent decimal number. the code should acquire the binary fraction number in the format"0.xxxxxx"from input box, then return the equivalent decimal number in a message box. in the code, you may need to use VBA function "mid(_,_,_)" to pick up a specific symbols or characters from a string. you can use below conversion as benchmark to verify and debug your code:

(0.1011)₂ = (0.6875)₁₀

Two cylinders of oxygen are connected to each other by a valve. The first tank is 50 liters in volume and contains oxygen at 27 °C and a pressure of 140.37 kPa, and the corresponding values for the other tank are 30 liters, 89 °C and 62.73 kPa. If the valve connecting the tanks is opened and the tanks are allowed to reach some equilibrium condition with the temperature being 50 °C. Answer the following: (a) the equilibrium pressure, (b) the heat transfer between both tanks and the surroundings and the direction of the heat transfer, and (c) the internal energy in the final state if the tanks were insulated.

if f1=600N and theta=30°, determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the eyebolt and its direction measured clockwise from positive x axis

Conventional thinking in product development has been that innovation starts in advanced
developed countries like the United States and Japan. Products marketed in
countries where the average income is much lower often are older models of U.S. products
or used but still serviceable equipment. Several U.S. multinational companies have
established R&D labs in India and China. Originally this was to take advantage of the
large number of well-educated engineers who could be employed at salaries much lower
than the going U.S. rate, but soon it was found that these engineers were adept at developing
products for sale to the mass markets in these local countries. Typically these are
products with somewhat reduced functionality, but they still are useful quality products.
Now these U.S. companies are beginning to market these products in the United States
as a low-cost product line that is attractive to a new low-end market segment.
Search the business literature for examples of this new approach to trickle-up product
innovation. Discuss advantages of this new approach to product development and discuss
possible risks.
