If the gas contained in the tank is under a gauge pressure of 2 MPa, determine the normal stress developed in the wall of the tank and in each of the bolts.
Give a proposed design and analysis, principal features and working principle of any mechanisms using diagrams to show how and why the design works.
A 200-kg, 5-m-wide rectangular gate shown in the figure is hinged at B and leans against the floor at A making an angle of 45 with the horizontal.
Calculate the temperature of the gas in the tank when the pressure has reached 10.34 bar and if the valve does not fucntion properly and the pressure in the tank reaches 69 bar. for simplicity, consid
Develop equations which may be solved to give the final temperature of the gas remaining in a tank after the tank has been bled from an initial pressure PI to a final pressure P2.
The following times to failure in hours were observed in an experiment where 14 units were tested until eight of them have failed: 80,310,350,470,650,900,1100, and 1530.
Initially the container is divided into 2 equal parts, using a very thin partition. one side is filled with a mole of argon at temperature T and pressure P whereas the other side is under vacuum.
Apply the conservation of mass principle to doteed control volume (after first making all assumption) to derive the form of the continuity equation appropriate to this physical situation.
Water flows at a rate of 20 l/s through a horz pipe dia .03 m. The pressure drop across the valve in the pipe is measured to be 2 kPa. Determine the irreversible head loss of the valve, and the useful
The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up.
A circular curve of highway is designed for traffic moving at 85 km/h. Assume the traffic consists of cars without negative lift. (a) If the radius of the curve is 270 m, what is the correct angle of
A thin metal plate is insulated on the back and exposed to solar radiation on the front surface. The exposed surface of the plate has an absorptivity of 0.7 for solar radiation.
The first cycle receives energy by heat transfer from a cold reservoir at 300 K and rejects energy by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature T greater than 300 K.
Two kilograms of air within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 750K and 300K, respectively.
1 kg of air is allowed to expand reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston in such a way that the temperature remains constant at 260 degree while the volume is doubled.
