Two tensiometers were installed in a soil profile. One is placed at 30 cm and the other at 50 cm below the surface. The matric pressure heads are -500 cm for the top and -450 cm for the bottom tensiometer. Is there any water flow in the profile? If yes, in which direction does the water move?

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

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

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature
