Acurrent problem in the u. s. army is the neck/shoulder fatigue experienced by helicopter pilots. to be able to fly missions at night, the pilots wear night vision goggles, which are attached to the front of the helmet. unfortunately, these are fairly heavy, causing a large downward torque of the head, which must be counteracted by the neck muscles, which then fatigue. to alleviate this problem, many pilots have started attaching random lead weights to the back of the helmet. find the appropriate weight that would best balance the head and minimize neck fatigue. assumptions: a) cg of goggles is 8 inches in front of neck pivot point, b) goggles weigh 2 lbs., c) max volitional neck torque is 480 in lbs., d) cg of lead weight is 5 inches behind neck pivot point, e) bare helmet weighs 4 lbs., and f) cg of helmet is 0.5 inches in front of neck pivot.

Apreheater involves the use of condensing steam at 100°c on the inside of a bank of tubes to heat air that enters at 1 atm and 25°c. the air moves at 5 m/s in cross flow over the tubes. each tube is 1 m long and has an outside diameter of 10 mm. what is the minimum value of nl needed to achieve an outlet temperature of t 75 c? what is the corresponding pressure drop across the tube bank?

Air (c-1.006 kj/kg.k, r-0.287 kj/kg.k) enters a nozzle steadily at 280 kpa and 77°c with a velocity of 50 m/s and exits at 85 kpa and 320 m/s. the heat losses from the nozzle to the surrounding medium at 20°c are estimated to be 3.2 kj/kg. determine (a) the exit temperature and (b) the total entropy change for this process. solve this problem using constant specific heats.
