Consider isentropic fl ow in a channel of varying area, from section 1 to section 2. We know that Ma1 5 2.0 and desire that the velocity ratio V2/V1 be 1.2. Estimate (a) Ma2 and (b) A2/A1. (c) Sketch what this channel looks like. For example, does it converge or diverge

Heat is added to a piston-cylinder device filled with 2 kg of air to raise its temperature 400 c from an initial temperature of t1 27 cand pressure of pi 1 mpa. the process is isobaric process. find a)-the final pressure p2 b)-the heat transfer to the air.

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
