A group of students wish to determine the density of a cylinder to be used in a de-sign project. They plan to determine the density from measurements of the cylindersmass, length, and diameter, which have instrument resolutions of 0.1 lbm, 0.05 in., and0.0005 in., respectively. The balance used to measure the weight has an instrument uncertainty (accuracy) of 1 %. The rulers used to measure the length and diameterpresent negligible instrument uncertainties. Nominal values of the mass, length, anddiameter are 4.5 lbm, 6.00 in., and 4.0000 in., respectively.
(a) Estimate the zero-order uncertainty in the determination of the density.
(b) Which measurement contributesthe most to this uncertainty?
(c) Estimate the design-stage uncertainty in the deter mination of the density.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
