Technicians have to determine the flow rate of water in a pipe with the aid of a venturi installation and a mercury au. oaeter. the expected water welocity is about 1.5 a/s. the pipe diameter is 40 mm and the venturi throat has a diameter of 20 mm. the venturi meter has a discharge coefficient c = 0.97. determine what level difference can be expected in the manometer.

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Afull journal bearing has a journal diameter of 27 mm, with a unilateral tolerance of -0.028 mm. the bushing bore has a diameter of 27.028 mm and a unilateral tolerance of 0.04 mm. the l/d ratio is 0.5. the load is 1.3 kn and the journal runs at 1200 rev/min. if the average viscosity is 50 mpa-s, find the minimum film thickness, the power loss, and the side flow for the minimum clearance assembly.

Oxygen at 300 kpa and 400 k is in a closed system with an initial volume of 0.1 m3. is now compressed in a polytropic process, with exponent of n 1.2, to a temperature of 500 k. calculate: a) the boundary work done during the compression, in kj b) the heat transfer during the compression, in kj
