Early test flights for the space shuttle used a "glider" (mass of 980 kg including pilot). After a horizontal launch at 400km/h from a height of 3300m , the glider eventually landed at a speed of 210 km/h. A) What would its landing speed have been in the absence of air resistance?

B) What was the average force of air resistance exerted on it if it came in at a constant glide of 12 degrees to the earth?

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
