Energy transfer in mechanical systems: During steady-state operation, a mechanical gearbox receives 70 KW of input power through the input shaft and delivers power through the output shaft. Considering the gearbox as a thermodynamic system, the rate of convection heat transfer generated during its operation is defined by: where h 0.171 kW/m2-K is the convection heat transfer coefficient, A 1.0 m is the outer surface area of the gearbox, T 300 K is the temperature of the outer surface, and T 293 K is the temperature of the surrounding air. For the gearbox, evaluate the heat transfer rate, 2, and the power delivered through the output shaft, W.

Determine whether or not it is possible to compress air adiabatically from k to 140 kpa and 400 k. what is the entropy change during this process?

Apiston-cylinder device contains 0.1 m3 of liquid water and 0.9 m3 of water vapor in equilibrium at 800 kpa. heat is transferred at constant pressure until the temperature of water reaches 350 °c. determine (a) the quality of water at the initial state (b) the work associated with this process, (c) the heat associated with this process.

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg. a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
