You are asked to design a piping system to fill an Olympic size swimming pool. The nominal dimensions of the pool are 164 ft long, 82 ft wide and 6 ft deep, and the filling is to take place in 6 hours. The 60 F water supply is contained in a reservoir 75 ft below the nominal elevation of the pool and contains 500 feet of 6-inch diameter cast iron pipe with 4 standard 90° elbows and 1 (fully open) gate valve. The roughness of the pipe is expected to increase as e = e0 + at, where e0 is the roughness value when the pipe is new and a = 0.000168 ft/yr. What size pump (in hp) should be chosen in order for the design to last 20 years?

Consider an ideal gas-turbine cycle with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion. The pressure ratio across each stage of the compressor and turbine is 3. The air enters each stage of the compressor at 300 K and each stage of the turbine at 1200 K. Use variable specific heats. Assuming an efficiency of 86 percent for each compressor stage and an efficiency of 90 percent for each turbine stage. (a) no regenerator is used rbw=rbw= % (Round one decimal place) ηth=ηth= % (Round one decimal place) and (b) a regenerator with 75 percent effectiveness is used. rbw=rbw= % (Round one decimal place) ηth=ηth= % (Round one decimal place) |

There is an airfoil with a 3ft chord length for a small remote controlled aircraft. The lift coefficient is C = 0.59 and the pitching moment coefficient at a quarter chord length is Cm,c/4 = -0.032 for a landing spped of 45 ft/s at sea-level std conditions
a) Calculate the lift per unit span (in lbf/ft)
b) Calculate the moment about the quarter chord position per unit span
c) Calculate the moment about the leading edge per unit span

When a sprinter is attempting to perform an all-out sprint as seen in the panel above, in order to maximize their linear velocity they will flex the knee more during the initial portion of the swing phase than the knee would naturally flex during this phase. This alters the moment of inertia of the leg in a way that ultimately leads to increased linear velocity of the foot at the instant before foot strike. Describe the steps in this process. 1) Define moment of inertia, and describe how it changes as the knee goes through exaggerated flexion during the swing phase. 2) Describe what effect this change has on the angular velocity of the leg about the hip through the swing phase. 3) How is the angular impulse altered about the hip, and what relationship does this have to the change in angular velocity?
