Atank has two sides initially separated by a diaphragm. side a contains 1 kg water and side b contains 1.2 kg air, both at 20 celsius, 100 kpa. the diaphragm is now broken and the whole tank is heated to 600 celsius by a 700 celsius reservoir. find the final total pressure, heat transfer, and total entropy generation.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.
