Afuel oil is burned with air in a boiler furnace. the combustion produces x kw of thermal energy, of which 65% is transferred as heat to boiler tubes that pass through the furnace. the combustion products pass from the furnace to a stack at 550°c. water enters the boiler tubes as a liquid at 30°c and leaves the tubes as saturated steam at 20 bar absolute. (a) calculate the rate (kg/sec) at which steam is produced. (b) estimate the volumetric flow rate of steam produced (m^3/sec) using the steam tables. (c) repeat part (b) using the ideal gas law. which result would you trust more, and why? (d) what happened to the 35% of the combustion energy that did not get transferred to the boiler tubes?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
