The supercritical flow at the toe of a spillway has a depth of 1.12 ft and velocity of 60 ft/s. Calculate the required tailwater depths and the required lengths of a Type III and a Type II stilling basin and compare with those for a free jump without blocks

An electric kettle is made out of stainless steel, weighs two pounds (when empty) and is equipped with a heating element that consumes 2 kw of electricity. assuming that the water and the kettle are at the same uniform temperature at any moment of time, calculate the shortest possible time to bring 2 quarts of water from room temperature to the onset of boiling

Areheat rankine cycle operates with water as the working fluid. steam enters the first turbine at 8 mpa and 450°c and exits at 0.8 mpa. it is then reheated to 400°c before entering the second turbine, where it exits at 10 kpa. if the amount of work into the pump is 8.04 kj/kg and the net work per cycle produced is 1410.25 kj/kg, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Consider a beam traveling through diamond and impinging upon the diamond-air interface. the critical angle of incidence for total internal reflection to occur is closest to the following value: select one: a)-22.50° b)-23.85 c)-24.30 d)-23.40° e)-none of the above
