A spring-mass-damper instrument is employed for acceleration measurements. The spring constant is 12000 N/m. The mass is 5 g. The damping ratio is 0.4. Required:
a. Find natural frequency (in Hz) of this instrument.
b. Determine the bandwidth of this instrument in Hz
c. How can you increase the bandwidth of this instrument?

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

Oxygen at 300 kpa and 400 k is in a closed system with an initial volume of 0.1 m3. is now compressed in a polytropic process, with exponent of n 1.2, to a temperature of 500 k. calculate: a) the boundary work done during the compression, in kj b) the heat transfer during the compression, in kj

Steam at a pressure of 100 kpa and a quality of 50% initially fills a rigid vessel having a volume of 0.5 m^3. the steam is then heated, causing the pressure in the vessel to rise to 150 kpa. determine: i. the mass of the steam in the vessel. ii. the temperature and quality of the steam after the heating process. ii the mass of the vapour, mg and liquid, m in the vessel after the heating process. if the steam in the vessel is now further heated, what would the pressure and temperature in the vessel be when all steam has turned into saturated vapour? b. sketch the processes in part (a) and part (b) on p-v and t-v diagrams, indicating clearly the temperatures, pressures and the paths. c.
