For bending only, determine the lightest-weight Shape to carry a uniform dead load of 4.5 kip/ft plus the beam self-weight and a live load of 3.5 kip/ft on a simple span of 24 ft. Consider only the limit state of yielding and use A992 steel. Design by (a) LRFD and (b) ASD.

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

Ahe-xe mixture containing a 0.75 mole fraction of helium is used for cooling electronics in an avionics application. at a temperature of 300 k and atmospheric pressure, calculate the mass fraction of helium and the mass density, molar concentration and molecular weight of the mixture. if the cooling capacity is 10 l, what is the mass of the coolant?

An open feedwater heater operates at steady state with liquid entering at inlet 1 with t? = 40°c and pl = 1 .2 mpa. water vapor att2-200°c and p2 = 1.2 mpa enters at inlet 2. saturated liquid water exits with a pressure of pa 1.2 mpa. neglect heat transfer with the surroundings and all kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of steam at inlet 2 if the mass flow rate of liquid water at inlet 1 is given as 2 kg/s.
