Using the steam tables C-1 and C-2 in the appendix, plot to scale the (a) P-11, (b)P-T, and (c') T-Ldiagrams. Choose either a linear-linear plot or a log-log plot. Note the distortions of the various figures in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. Such distortions are necessary if the various regions are to be displayed.
For a stub tooth spur gear with 20 teeth, a face width of 55 mm, a module of 5 mm, and a material with an endurance strength of 220 MPa, what is
the allowable endurance load?

C: 5.244.00 N
D: 47.516.59 N
E:19.386.77 N
A carbon steel (K = 54 W/m – k) pipe of OD 6 cm and 3 mm thick is carrying steam at 3000
c
is to be insulated to reduce heat losses. The heat transfer coefficient between steam and the
pipe surface is 120 W/m2
-k. The outer surface of the pipe may be assumed to be at 3000
c. It is
desired to use 1 cm thick asbestos (K = 0.1105 W/m – k) and 1 cm glass wool (K = 0.038 W/m
– k) insulation. The atmospheric air is at 300
c and the film coefficient between insulating layer
and air is 10 W/m2
-k. Determine which insulating material is to be used as first layer of
insulation? Why?

A uniaxial steel bar is initially 250mm in length with a square cross-section of 50mm x 50mm. The modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa and a poisson's ratio is 0.32 Determine the change in dimensions of the bar when carrying tensile load of 600kn.


Five kilograms of steam occupies a volume of 10m^3. Find the quality and the pressure if the temperature is measured at (a) 40o​C and (b) 86​0C.

ANS: (a) 0.1024, 7.383 kPa (b) 0.7312, 60.3 kPa

Consider the same plate as in the previous question: a square plate of L=1

m side attached to a torsionnal spring of stiffness 10Nm/rad. The mass of the plate is M=1

Kg. Now the air flow is coming from the left at 10m/s. What is the eigenfrequency (Hz) of this oscillator


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.
