A strain gauge pressure sensor has the following specification. Will it be suitable for the measurement of pressure of the order of 100 kPa to an accuracy of 5 kPa in an environment where the temperature is reasonably constant at about 20 degree C? Ranges: 2 to 70 MPa, 70 kPa to 1 MPa Excitation: 10 V d. c. or a. c. (r. m.s.) Full range output: 40 mV Non-linearity and hysteresis errors: 0.5% Temperature range: - 54 to +120 degree C

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Afluid flows with a velocity field given by v=(x/t)i.. determine the local and convective accelerations when x=3 and t=1.

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux
