A steam power plant operating on the simple ideal Rankine cycle is considered. The total net work produced by the cycle is 700 kJ/kg, and the amount of heat input to the cycle is 3000 kJ/kg. Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle. Multiple choice question.

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false

Ajournal bearing has a journal diameter of 3.250 in with a unilateral tolerance of 20.003 in. the bushing bore has a diameter of 3.256 in and a unilateral tolerance of 0.004 in. the bushing is 2.8 in long and supports a 700-lbf load. the journal speed is 900 rev/min. find the minimum oil film thickness and the maximum film pressure for both sae 20 and sae 20w-30 lubricants, for the tightest assembly if the operating film temperature is 160°f. a computer code is appropriate for solving this problem.
