In a 45-degree bend pipe on horizontal plane a circular air duct of 3.5 m^2 cross sectional area is gradually reduced to 1.2 m^2 area. Find the pressure in N/cm^2 at 1.5 m^2 cross sectional area, if the velocity of flow at the 2.1 m^2 section is 10.0 m/s and pressure is 3.453 N/cm^2. Take density of air is 1.18 kg/m^3.

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.

For a gate width of 2 m into the paper, determine the force required to hold the gate abc at its location.

Atank with constant volume contains 2.27 kg of a mixture of water phases (liquid-vapor). in the initial state the temperature and the quality are 127 °c and 0.6, respectively. the mixture is heated until the temperature of 160 oc is reached. illustrate the process in a t-v diagram. then, determine (1) the mass of the vapor in kg at the initial state, (2) the final pressure in kpa.
