The constraint is that the stress created by the centrifugal force must not exceed the yield strength of the material of which it is made. Derive an index to guide the choice of material to allow th
Derive, from first principles, an expression for the compressive buckling load on a simply supported beam of length l and flexural rigidity, EI. State the assumptions used
A horizontal uniform beam of length 3a and flexural rigidity EI is built-in at both ends. The beam carries a point load Wat a distance 2a from the left support. Derive expressions for the bending mo
Steam flows through an expansion valve. Conditions at the inlet are P1=700 kPa and x1=0.96. The exit pressure P2 is 350 kPa. Calculate the entropy change in kilojoules per kilogram of steam.
Tthe incline is negligible and the angle between the force P and the surface on which the crate slides is Beta = 30°. Letting Theta= 30°, determine the total work done by
Steam enters a long pipe as a saturated vapor at a pressure of 2 MPa. Due to heat loss from the pipe to the surroundings, the steam exits the pipe as a liquid- vapor mixture, also at a pressure of 2
Determine the maximum reversible COP and the theoretical minimum fuel energy input required to provide a 5 kJ/s cooling effect.
The low-temperature reservoir of a Carnot heat engine is at 10 C. To increase the efficiency of this heat engine from 40% to 55%, by how many degrees must the temperature of the high-temperature re
Consider a steam power plant that operates between the pressure limits of 10 MPa and 20 kPa. Steam enters the pump as saturated liquid and leaves the turbine as saturated vapor. Determine the ratio
