The equation governing the deflection y of a simply supported beam of length L under uniform loading w is EI d^2y/dx^2 = wLx/2 - wx^2/2
with boundary conditions y(0) = y(L) = 0. Let E = 150GPa, I = 20000cm, w = 20kN/m, and L = 2m.
(a) Determine the discretized template equation by substituting in a central finite difference approximation. Put all terms involving the dependent variable on the left side, and other terms on the right. Eliminate the denominators on the left side if possible.
(b) Use the template equation (similar to Eq 9.4 in the lecture notes), along with the boundary condition equations to write a set of equations in matrix form that could be solved for the nodal values of y. Use 5 nodes, such that Ac = 0.5.

Liquid flows at steady state at a rate of 2 lb/'s through a pump, which operates to raise the elevation of the liquid 100 ft from control volume inlet to exit. the liquid specific enthalpy at the inlet is 40.09 btu/lb and at the exit is 40.94 btub. the pump requires 3 btu/s of power to operate. if kinetic energy effects are negligible and gravitational acceleration is 32.174 tt/s, the heat transfer rate associated with this steady state process is most closely 1)-2,02 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings 2)-3.98 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 3)-4.96 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 4)-1.04 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings.

An inventor claims to have developed a reversed heat engine (ie. a heat pump) which is able to deliver 10 kj heat into the room at 20°c from outside ambient temperature of -10°c by consuming only 2 kj electricity in winter. this claim is a)-impossible b)-possible only if the heat pump is ideal c)-practically possible d)-unable to be assessed as it depends on the working fluid used in the heat pump.
