The centrifugal air compressor of a gas turbine receives air from the ambient atmosphere where the pressure is 1 bar and the temperature is 300oK. At the discharge of the compressor the pressure is 4 bar, the temperature is 480 oK and the velocity is 100 m/sec. The mass flowrate into the compressor is 15 kg/sec. Assuming steady flow determine the power required to drive the compressor

Heat is added to a piston-cylinder device filled with 2 kg of air to raise its temperature 400 c from an initial temperature of t1 27 cand pressure of pi 1 mpa. the process is isobaric process. find a)-the final pressure p2 b)-the heat transfer to the air.

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise
