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 are 2 types of Fiber-reinforced composite
material. Continuous (aligned) and discontinuous(random or
aligned)
If we have aligned composite, how can we know it is discontinuous?
And what is difference with random discontinuous?

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?

A U- tube manometer is used to measure the pressure of oil of specific gravity 0.85 flowing in a pipe line. It is left end is connected to the pipe and right –limb id open to the atmosphere. The center of the pipe is 100 mm below the level of mercury (specific gravity =13.6) the right limb .if the difference of mercury level in the two limbs is 160 mm. determine the absolute pressure of the oil in the pipe.

Solid desiccant air dehumidifier systems are widely used to supply dry air for many industrial processes. As humid atmospheric air flows through the system, the water vapor in the air is adsorbed by the desiccant material, resulting in dry air leaving the system. Inlet air velocity and tekperature are observed as predominant parameters that influence the outlet conditions of the air. Consider a cylindrical air channel with a length of 1 meter and an inner diameter of 20 mm, as a representative of a dehumidifier system. The wall of the channel is made of silica powder material with a thickness of 0.2 mm. Air enters the channel at Ti = 30°C and 10 m/s. Heated air is forced to flow over the entire channel so that it could provide a constant inner surface temperature, Ts,i of 60°C. Determine,
i. the exit air temperature of the channel, Te, oC
ii. the rate of heat transfer, and
iii. the outer surface temperature of the channel, Ts,o, oC.
Evaluate the air properties at a bulk mean temperature of 40°C

Crude oil of specific gravity (0.75) is flowing through a pipe. The pipe has a diameter of 100 mm and 50 mm at the sections 1 and 2 respectively. The velocity of crude oil at the section 1 is 550 cm/s. The section 1 is 3000 mm and section 2 is 2000 mm above the datum. If the pressure at the section 1 is 0.2 N/mm2, find the intensity of pressure at section 2?
