Estimate the diameter of the bubble just before it reaches the water surface. Assume during the bubble's travel upward that the air is isothermal.
A condenser condenses saturated water vapor at 100 kPa to a saturated liquid. The steam enters at 3 m/s and exits at 100 kPa.What is the exit velocity if the inlet and outlet diameters are the same?
Determine the toal change in a)length b)cross-sectional dimensions, c)volume. For analysis, assume the alloy exhibits elastic behavior with E=22.7*10^6 psi and v= 0.28.
A compressed air cylinder initially contains air at 25ºC and 100 kPa. The volume of the cylinder is 0.01021 m3. The cylinder is filled slowly and isothermally until the pressure is 2 MPa.
Demonstrate that this is an impossible process by looking at the carbon dioxide and water temperatures at several points along the heat exchanger.
Fifty five kJ of heat is transferred to the air during this process. Determine the change in specific internal energy of the air. The pressure is constant during the process.
A piston-cylinder device initially contains 50 L of liquid water at 40 degrees C and 200 kPa. Heat is transferred to the water at constant pressure until the entire liquid is vaporized. How much wor
What are the maximum temperature and pressure that could be measured on the bullet's surface? State your assumptions. Explain why you think this is a good estimate (or not).
Electric power is to be generated in a hydroelectric power plant that receives water at a rate of 70 m^3/s from an elevation of 65 m using a turbine-generator system, with an efficiency of 85%.
