Determine the enthalpy of combustion of liquid octane (C8H18) at 25°C and 1 atm, using enthalpy-of-formation data from Table A–26. Assume the water
in the products is in the liquid form

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

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.
