When a compressed gas storage tank fails, the resultant explosion occurs so rapidly that the gas cloud can be considered adiabatic and assumed to not mix appreciably with the surrounding atmosphere. Consider the failure of a 2.5-m3 air storage tank initially at 15 bar. Atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, CP  7R/2. Provide an estimate by assuming reversibility.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit.explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

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.
