What is the temperature of water when piston starts to move : A piston cylinder setup shown below contains 0.1 kg saturated water at 100 kPa with quality 0.25. The mass of the piston is such that a pressure of 500 kPa will float it. The water is heated to 300°C.

What is the change in the internal energy of the air : A piston cylinder contains 0.1 kg air at 300 K and 100 kPa. The air is now slowly compressed in an isothermal (constant temperature) process to a final pressure of 250 kPa. Air is assumed as ideal gas; the gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kJ/kg-K .

Streams of cold and warm air are mixed to get air : In air-conditioning systems, streams of cold and warm air are mixed to get air with the right temperature. Consider a mixing chamber into which cold air enters at 8C and 100 kPa at a rate of 0.55 m^3 /s and warm air enters at 300C and 100 kPa.

Show that the total energy of a circular membrane : Show that the total energy of a circular membrane when vibrating in its fundamental mode is given by 0.135(?a^2)?_s (?A_1 )^2, where a is its radius, ?_s the area density, ? the angular frequency of vibration, and A_1 the amplitude at its center.

Steam with a mass flow rate : Steam with a mass flow rate of 200,000 lb/hr enters a well insulated turbine at 1100 psi, 900degreeF through a duct with a flow area of 1ft^2. A portion of the steam is extracted at p=130psi,T=380degreeF and exits through a 1 ft diameter duct at v=60..

Temperature drop during this process-final specific volume : Refrigerant-134a is throttled from saturated liquid state at 7 bar to a pressure of 1.4 bar. Determine the temperature drop during this process and the final specific volume.

Cauchys theorem for a triangle : The theorem stated below is followed by statements from its proof. For each of the numbered statements provide a short comment that explains or justifies it.

Steady flow operation and constant specific heat for water : A water fountain consume 24.1 amps (operating at 110 V) to chill water from 23 C to 5 C. It is known that heat is rejected from the unit at a rate of 9.5 kW. Assuming steady flow operation and constant specific heat for water (at 25 C)
