An internal combustion engine is connected through a power speed reduction unit to a propeller operating with an advance ratio of 0.25, with a thrust coefficient of 0.2 and a power coefficient of 0.1. if the efficiency of the engine is 40%, then what is the approximate value of the overall efficiency of the combined engine-propeller system?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Which of the following refers to refers to how well the control system responds to sudden changes in the system. a)-transient regulation b)- distributed regulation c)-constant regulation d)-steady-state regulation

Describe one experiment in which the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of a totally amorphous thermoplastic material can be determined. show the relevant experimental results in a diagram which should be properly annotated with the two temperatures clearly marked. what is likely to happen to the curve in the diagram if the amorphous polymer is replaced by a thermosetting type?
