Just upstream of a shock wave, the air temperature and pressure are 288 K and 1 atm, respectively; just downstream of the wave, the air temperature and pressure are 690 K and 8.656 atm, respectively. Calculate the changes in enthalpy, internal energy, and entropy across the wave.

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

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
