A 1-foot long test specimen made of Structural Steel (ASTM-A36) is loaded in simple tension until it has been elongated by 0.01 inches, at which point the load is removed. Determine (a) the maximum stress within the specimen and (b) the new length of the specimen after the load has been removed.

At steady state, air at 200 kpa, 325 k, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross-sectional areas. the inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm2. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa and the velocity is 250 m/s. neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an 1.008 kj/kg k, determine ideal gas with constant cp = (a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. (c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm2

Brief discuss how the presence of dislocations in crystal structures can be an advantage and a disadvantage to engineer and designers.

Determine (a) the maximum thermal efficiency of reversible power cycles operating between a hot reservoir at 1000°c and a cold reservoir at 200°c and (b) the maximum cops for reversible refrigeration and heat pump cycies, respectively, between 28°c and 14°c.
