Calculate the tensile modulus of elasticity for a laminated composite consisting of 62 percent by volume of unidirectional carbon fibers and an epoxy matrix under isostress conditions. The tensile modulus of elasticity of the carbon fibers is 340 GPa and that of the epoxy is 4.50  103 MPa.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

When subject to a steady load (within elastic range) over a long period of time, what is the major difference in material behavoir between steel and plastic?

Aheat pump that operates on the ideal vapor compression cycle with refrigerant-134a is used to heat water from 15°c to 45°c at a rate of 0.12 kg/s. the condenser and evaporator pressures are 1.4 and 0.32 mpa, respectively determine: (a) the power input to the heat pump
