Outdoor at 5°CDBT and 60%RH is passed through a heating coil which gives 11kW
energy to the air, then humidified by sat steam (at 110oC) with a rate of 0.33kg/min, find
the final air dry and wet bulb temperatures for unit mass rate.

Consider a discrete fluid-solid mechanical system (for instance a wing profile with two degrees of freedom). Solutions of the form V

⃗ 

e

λt

 are looked for, V

⃗ 

 being a two components vector. On the figure below the real and imaginary parts of λ

 are plotted as function of the Cauchy number. Give an estimate of the critical value of the Cauchy number at which an instability occurs.


A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 8 kg of superheated water vapor at 500 kPa and 300 C. Steam is now cooled at constant pressure until 70 percent of it, by mass, condenses
The intensity distribution of solar radiation peaks at a wavelength of approximately 500 nm. Assuming the Sun radiates like a black body, calculate the flux of photons leaving the sun in W/m2.
Two systems have the following equations of state, where R is the gas constant per mole. The mole numbers are N1 = 3 and N2 = 5. The initial temperatures are T1 = 175 K and T2 = 400 K. What is the temperature once equilibrium is reached (in Kelvin)?
Two systems have the following equations of state and are contained in a closed cylinder, separated by a fixed, adiabatic and impermeable piston. N1 = 2 and N2 = 1.5 moles. The initial temperatures are T1 = 175 K and T2 = 400 K. The total volume is 0.025 m3. The piston is allowed to move and heat transfer is allowed across the piston. Determine the final temperature of the system (in Kelvin).

A compressor of 25 kg is mounted on isolator as shown in the figure.

The isolator is idealized by a spring and a damper of damping ration 𝜁= 0.3 . it is found that the compressor suffers from vibration due to unbalance of 0.001 sin50t. also, it is found that all the maximum impressed force is transmitted to the floor. What will be the TR and the maximum Ft  to the floor when the excitation force becomes 0.005sinwt ?


Linear plate elements and linear solid elements can easily be used in the same mode true or false


(c) In order to avoid excessively high stress in the pipeline during valve closure, it is proposed that the time to fully close the valve is not shorter than 15 s. Is this a safe closure time given that the maximum allowable hoop stress in the pipe is 110 MPa? Use a steady discharge of 15 m3 /s if you were not successful with part (a). (Aide mem: hoop stress, σH= pd/2t , where p,d,t are pipe pressure, diameter and wall thickness respectively.)
c) A 50 mm-diameter propeller was installed in a 150 mm-diameter water pipe and the propeller speed was measured for a range of water discharge in the pipe. The water had a density and dynamic viscosity of 1000 kg/m3 and 0.00112 Ns/m2 respectively. The measured results were as follows:

Q (litres/s): 12 28 45 63 95 120 160 180
N (rps): 5 10 15 20 30 40 60 80
Plot the dependence of propeller coefficient against propeller Reynolds number. A geometrically similar propeller with diameter 100 mm was installed in a 300 mm-diameter pipe conveying oil with density 800 kg/m3 and dynamic viscosity 0.007 Ns/m2 . Estimate the discharge in the oil pipe for measured propeller speeds of 40 rps and 90 rps.
