Asimple rankine cycle operates with water as the working fluid between the pressures of 4 mpa and 20 kpa. the fluid leaves the boiler at 550°c, the turbine efficiency is 89% and the fluid exits the condenser as saturated liquid. the flow rate is 81.5 kg/s and the pump efficiency is 52%. determine: a)- the net power output, in kw. b)- the rate of heat input in the boiler, in kw. c)- the rate of heat rejection in the condenser, in kw. d)- the overall efficiency of the bankine cycle engine.

An electrical motor raises a 50kg load at a construct velencity .calculate the power of the motor, if it takes 40sec to raise the load through a height of 24m(take g =9.8n/g)

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

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.
