The small piston in a hydraulic lift has an area of 2.5 in². A force of 15 lbs is applied to the small piston. What is the maximum force that the large piston will be able to exert if the area of the large piston is 300 in²?

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Assuming compressible flow of air and that the measurements are done at flagstaff a pitot static tube that gives the difference of total and static pressure measures 0.35 m of mercury. what is the velocity of air? assume the temperature to be 300k. (submit your excel or matlab calculation sheet)
