Acoal-burning steam power plant produces a net power of 350 mw with an overall thermal efficiency 12 kg air/kg fuel. the heating value of the coal is 30,500 kj/kg. determine (a) the amount of coal consumed during a 24-hour period mcoal and (b) the rate of air flowing through the furnace.

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.

True or false (explain) (110)[111] is a slip system in bcc metals . the {111} family in fcc contains 8 planes. resolved shear stress (rss) in single crystals is just related to the applied stress. critical resolved shear stress (crss) in single crystal metals is direct proportional to the number of defects in the structure

Asolid cylinder is concentric with a straight pipe. the cylinder is 0.5 m long and has an outside diameter of 8 cm. the pipe has an inside diameter of 8.5 cm. the annulus between the cylinder ad the pipe contains stationary oil. the oil has a specific gravity of 0.92 and a kinematic viscosity of 5.57 x 10-4 m2/s. most nearly, what is the force needed to move the cylinder along the pipe at a constant velocity of 1 m/s?
