Why is communication one of the most important aspects of an engineer’s job? Good communication is essential when scientists relate their plans to engineers. Much communication is required among engineers and scientists on a project. An engineer must be able to communicate if the client is looking for a functional design versus a superficial design. Any miscommunication can cause problems with time, cost, and safety.

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.

In the winter, in order to keep the classroom steadily at 68 f before 10 pm, heating with an average rate of 42,000 btu/hr is provided. assume the outdoor temperature maintains at 32°f, determine the electrical power (kw) required to (a) operate a reversible heat pump (b) operate a real heat pump with a cop (7) of 4.5 and (c) operate an electrical-resistance heater.
