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.

1. A round composite bar is used to conduct heat. It is held at 600K at one end and 1000K at the other end but all other surfaces are insulated. The two end pieces of the bar are Stainless Steel (AISI304), and the middle piece is Copper. The length of each piece of the bar is 0.2m (total length is 0.6m) and the diameter is 0.07m. Generate an x-y plot of the temperature distribution along the center axis of the bar (plot T vs x). Select your own values for T₁ and T_2. Assume zero contact resistance between the sections.
2. Solve this problem by hand and provide a plot of the temperature distribution for the composite bar. Include your hand calculations in your deliverable. You can use equation editor or include a photo of your paper if your handwriting is tidy and the picture is properly cropped

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 T_i = 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, T_s,i of 60°C. Determine,

i. the exit air temperature of the channel, T_e, ^oC

ii. the rate of heat transfer, and

iii. the outer surface temperature of the channel, T_s,o, ^oC.

Evaluate the air properties at a bulk mean temperature of 40°C

Task 1
Company 1 is new into distillation & separation has approached CD19 for support on the following problem: -
(a) They wish to separate a 50-gram sample of a new liquid compound, by heating it in a reactor to convert it from liquid to gas. The final pressure of the gas should be 775 mmHg at 24oC. They are struggling to find the volume of the reactor. Can you help? What volume of the reactor will be required to achieve the stated requirements?

(b) Another placement student suggests that by chilling the gas by 15oK will reduce the size of the reactor. Is the second engineer correct and by how much would the volume change?

(c) The temperature and pressure effects on a liquid can be described by the kinetic molecular theory. The customer would like you to explain this in a short and concise manner.
You are expected to draw a diagram (labeled) of the relationship between temperature and pressure for a liquid that is heated to form an ideal gas. Relative phase compositions should also be labeled.

Ideal Reheat Steam Cycle (10)

Consider a steam power plant operating on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at PH MPa and TH °C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of PL kPa. Assume the steam is reheated to the inlet temperature of the high-pressure turbine, and that pump work is NOT negligible. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed w% percent, determine:

(a) the pressure at which the steam should be reheated and show how you got the quality,

(b) the total turbine work ,
