Nitrogen (N2) at 25 bar, 450 K enters a turbine and expands to 2 bar, 250 K with a mass flow rate of 0.2 kg/s. The turbine operates at steady state with negligible heat transfer with its surroundings. Assuming the ideal gas model with k = 1.399 and ignoring the effects of motion and gravity, determine:
(a) the isentropic turbine efficiency.
(b) the exergetic turbine efficiency.
Let To = 25*C, po = 1 atm

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Vibration monitoring this technique uses the noise or vibration created by mechanical equipment and in seme cases by plant systems to detemine their actual condtion. a)- true b)- false
