A10-m long steel linkage is to be designed so that it can transmit 2 kn of force without stretch- ing more than 5 mm nor having a stress state greater than 200 n/mm2. if the linkage is to be constructed from solid round stock, what is the minimum required diameter?

Asimple rankine cycle uses water as the working fluid. the water enters the turbine at 10 mpa and 480c while the condenser operates at 6 kpa. if the turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 80 percent while the pump has an isentropic efficiency of 70 percent determine the thermal efficiency
