Determine the required cross - sectional area of member bc and the diameter of the pins at a and ft if the allowable normal stress is sigma allow = 3 ksi and the allowable shear stress is tau allow = 4 ksi.

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Different types of steels contain different elements that alter the characteristics of the steel. for each of the following elements, explain what the element does when alloyed with steel.
