In the search for more environmentally friendly design, paper cups have replaced Styrofoam cups in most fast-food
restaurants. These cups are less effective insulators, and the paper cups often get too hot for the hand. A design team is in
search of a better disposable coffee cup. The designs to be evaluated are: (a) a standard Styrofoam cup, (b) a rigid
injection-molded cup with a handle, (c) a paper cup with a cardboard sleeve, (d) a paper cup with a pull-out handle, and
(e) a paper cup with a cellular wall. These design concepts are to be evaluated with the Styrofoam cup as the datum.
The engineering characteristics on which the cups are evaluated are:
1. Temperature in the hand
2. Temperature of the outside of the cup
3. Material environmental impact
4. Indenting force of cup wall
5. Porosity of cup wall
6. Manufacturing complexity
7. Ease of stacking the cups
8. Ease of use by customer
9. Temperature loss of coffee over time
10. Estimated cost for manufacturing the cup in large quantities
Using your knowledge of fast-food coffee cups, use the Pugh concept selection method to select the most promising
design.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Steam at a pressure of 100 kpa and a quality of 50% initially fills a rigid vessel having a volume of 0.5 m^3. the steam is then heated, causing the pressure in the vessel to rise to 150 kpa. determine: i. the mass of the steam in the vessel. ii. the temperature and quality of the steam after the heating process. ii the mass of the vapour, mg and liquid, m in the vessel after the heating process. if the steam in the vessel is now further heated, what would the pressure and temperature in the vessel be when all steam has turned into saturated vapour? b. sketch the processes in part (a) and part (b) on p-v and t-v diagrams, indicating clearly the temperatures, pressures and the paths. c. (0.59kg, 111.4°c, 73%, 0.4307kg, 0.1 593kg, 2.11 bar, 121.84°c)
