Water enters a 13-cm-diameter pipe steadily with a uniform velocity of 2 m/s and exits with the turbulent flow velocity distribution given by u = umax(1 − rR)1/7 . If the pressure drop along the pipe is 10 kPa, determine the viscous force exerted in the pipe by the water flow. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3. The average velocity is equal to 0.816 times the max velocity. The viscous force exerted in the pipe by the water flow is 50

Ahouse has the following electrical appliance usage (1) single 40w lamp used for 4 hours per day (2) single 60w fan used for 12 hours per day (3) single 200w refrigerator that runs 24 hours per day with compressor run 12 hours and off 12 hours find the solar power inverter size in watt with correction factor of 1.25.

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

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.
