A steam turbine receives steam at 1.5MPa and 220oC, and exhausts at 50kPa, 0.75 dry. Neglecting heat losses and changes in kinetic and potential energy, estimate the work output per kg steam. If when allowance is made for friction, radiation and leakages losses, the actual work of that estimated in (a), calculate the power output of the turbine when consuming 600kg of steam per minute.

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
