Explain fully how a parabolic spline works in path planning when attempting to join two linear path segments so as to provide smooth transition between them.

What is the main objective of using reheat rankine cycle?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.

Cold water (cp=4180j/kg k) leadıng to a shower enters a thin-walled double-pipe heat transfer at 15c at a rate of 0.25kg/s and is heated to 45c by hot water (cp=4190j/kg k) that enters at 100c at the rate of 3kg/s. if the overall heat transfer coefficient is 950w /m2 k , determıne the rate of heat transfer and the heat transfer surface area of the heat exchanger using e - ntu method
