The column is constructed from high-strength concrete and eight a992 steel reinforcing bars. if the column is subjected to an axial force of 200 kip: a) determine the average normal stress in the concrete and in each bar. each bar has a diameter of 1 in. b) determine the required diameter of each bar so that 60% of the axial force is carried by concrete.

An air conditioning system consist of a 5 cm diameter pipe, operating at a pressure of 200 kpa. the air initially enters the pipe at 15°c with a velocity of 20 m/s and relative humidity of 80%. if the heat supply throughout the process is 960 w, determine the relative humidity and the temperature at the outlet

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
