An aircraft weighting 156960 N is powered by a jet engine whose thrust is independent of flight speed. The maximum rate of climb at sea level occurs at 152.5 m/s. The wing area is 46 m2. The drag polar is given by

Water escapes through a hole in the side of a tank of diameter 25 mm. Given that the head of water in the tank above the hole is 2.5 m, the coefficient of velocity is 0.97 and the coefficient of reduction of area is 0.64.
Determine:
a)the velocity of the water as it escapes from the hole,
b)the volume of water escaping every second.
c)the coefficient of discharge (Cd).

During the constant volume reversible non-flow process with air, the temperature drops from 400K to 320K. Show process on the p-V and T-s coordinates and find the heat transfer in kJ/kg.

During the constant pressure reversible non-flow process with air, the temperature increases from 400 0F to 1600 0F. Show process on the p-V and T-s coordinates and find the heat transfer in BTU/lbm.
