Examine a process whereby air at 300 K, 100 kPa is compressed in a piston/cylinder arrangement to 600 kPa. Assume the process is polytropic with exponent equal to 1.2 or 1.6. Find the work and heat transfer per unit mass of air in each case. Discuss the two cases and how they may be accomplished by insulating the cylinder or by providing heating or cooling.

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
