Gases produced during the combustion of a fuel-air mixture, enter a nozzle at 200kpa, 150°c and 20m/s and leave the nozzle at 100kpa and 100°c. The exit area of the nozzle is 0.03m². Assume that these gases behave like an ideal gas with Cp = 1.15 kJ/kg. K and Y = 1:3, and that the flow of gases through nozzle is steady and adiabatic. Determine i. the exit velocity
ii. the mass flow rate.​

Heat is added to a piston-cylinder device filled with 2 kg of air to raise its temperature 400 c from an initial temperature of t1 27 cand pressure of pi 1 mpa. the process is isobaric process. find a)-the final pressure p2 b)-the heat transfer to the air.

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.

Modern high speed trains do not have perpendicular expansion gaps where rails are joined end-to-end any more they are mostly welded together but what might happen if there was a spell of particularly hot weather that causes inspection of the tracks?
