Calculate the mean piston speed, bmep, and specific power of: (a) the spark-ignition engines in Figs. 1.11 and 1.13 at their maximum rated power and torque; and (b) the mean piston speed, bmep, and specific power of the diesel engines in Figs. 1.31 and 1.32 at their maximum rated power and torque. Briefly explain any significant differences between these two types of engine

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

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.

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.
