4. a researcher is testing a polymer with a known poisson’s ratio of 0.375 as a vascular graft. a 10 cm tube of the polymer with an outer diameter of 0.5 cm and a thickness of 0.2 cm is subject to conditions similar to blood flow and the length of the graft decreases by 10%. a. what is the inner diameter dimension when the graft is compressed? b. is this polymer an isotropic or anisotropic material?

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
