How are the polymeric materials classified? give examples of the plastic materials and elastomers? give the difference between thermoplastics and thermosets what is solution heat treating and age hardening? give at least three characteristics of copper.

What is the maximum height from which a mass of 30 kg can fall on to a flange on the lower end of a vertical rod of length 1.0 m and diameter 20 mm, the upper end being rigidly fixed, if the stress in the rod is not to exceed 80 mpa? the tensile modulus of the rod is 200 gpa.

Areheat rankine cycle operates with water as the working fluid. steam enters the first turbine at 8 mpa and 450°c and exits at 0.8 mpa. it is then reheated to 400°c before entering the second turbine, where it exits at 10 kpa. if the amount of work into the pump is 8.04 kj/kg and the net work per cycle produced is 1410.25 kj/kg, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Steam enters a turbine at steady state at 2 mpa, 360°c with a velocity of 100 m/s. saturated vapor exits at 0.1 mpa and a velocity of 50 m/s. the elevation of the inlet is 3 m higher than at the exit. the mass flow rate of the steam is 15 kg/s, and the power developed is 7 mw. let g 9.81 m/s^2. determine: a)-the area at the inlet, in m^2 b)-the rate of heat transfer between the turbine and surroundings, in kw c)-draw a p-v diagram for this process.
