Design a two-stage compound spur gear train for an overall ratio of approximately 47:1. Specify tooth numbers for each gear in the train. Assume a 25 degree pressure angle. (See Example 12-2 for help.)

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false

Modern high speed trains do not have perpendicular expansion gaps where rails are joined end-to-end any more they are mostly welded together but what might happen if there was a spell of particularly hot weather that causes inspection of the tracks?

Asteam is contained in a rigid tank with a volume of 1 m3. initially, the pressure and temperature are 7 bar and 500 oc, respectively. the temperature drops due to cooling process. determine: (1) the temperature at which condensation begins in °c, (2) the fraction of the total mass that has condensed when the pressure decreased to 0.5 bar. (3) the volume in m3 occupied by saturated liquid at the final state?
