Calculate the power required for heating a 1.5 kg sample of water for 10 minutes in a thermal system. What is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of the water from 25°C to 60°C ? How much minimum amount of power does the heater have to supply per unit time? Why does the actual power rating of the heater need to be higher than this minimum amount? (The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C .)

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 0.015 m3 is at 32°c and 140 kpa gage. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 206 kpa gage. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 128 kpa and the temperature and the volume to remain constant.[r-0.287 kj/kgk]
