Acompressor blade design tested in a cascade is found to choke with an inlet mach number of 0.9 when the inlet flow angle is 52 deg. if the ratio of the throat area to the frontal area, a*/h1s, for the cascade is).625, calculate the loss of stagnation pressure between the far upstream and the throat and express this as a loss coefficient. give your comments on what could cause this loss.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

With increases in magnification, which of the following occur? a. the field of view decreases. b. the ambient illumination decreases. c. the larger parts can be measured. d. the eyepiece must be raised.

An insulated tank truck containing 50,000 pounds of double-distilled, deionized water at 30 °c is pumped into a closed, refrigerated storage tank maintained at 5 °c in a facility located on top of mount mitchell, north carolina (elevation 6,684 feet & average july temperature of 84 °f). a)-determine the volume of the storage tank required to hold the purified water. b)- determine the initial and final pressure differences that must be overcome by a liquid pump assuming the storage tank initially contains air at 5 °c. assume the air is slowly bled out of the storage tank during the water transfer c.) during a routine operation today, the tank is slightly ruptured by a stainless steel pipe and a water acrosol of droplets begins to spray out of the storage tank. state all assumptions and determine the internal pressure within the water droplets produced
