Suppose some hypothetical system's control unit has a ring (cycle) counter consisting of some number of D flip-flops. This system runs at 1 GHz and has a maximum of 10 microoperations/instruction. a) What is the maximum frequency of the output (number of signal pulses) output by each flip-flop

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

The higher the astm grain-size number, the coarser the grain is. a)-true b)-false
