Air enters the turbine of a jet engine at 1190 K, 10.8 bar and expands to 5.2 bar. The air then flows through a nozzle and exits at 0.8 bar. Operation is at steady state, and the flow is adiabatic. The nozzle operates with no internal irreversibilities, and the isentropic turbine efficiency is 85%. The air velocities at the turbine inlet and exit are negligible. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine the velocity of the air exiting the nozzle, in m/s.

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

Two technicians are discussing the intake air temperature (iat) sensor. technician a says that the computer uses the iat sensor as a backup to the engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor. technician b says that the powertrain control module (pcm) will subtract the calculated amount of fuel if the air measures hot. who is correct

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.
