Agas undergoes a cycle in a piston–cylinder assembly consisting of the following three processes: process 1–2: constant pressure, p = 1.4 bar, v1 = 0.028 m3, w12 = 15 kj process 2–3: compression with pv = constant, u3 = u2 process 3–1: constant volume, u1 - u3 = -25 kj there are no significant changes in kinetic or potential energy. (a) calculate the net work for the cycle, in kj. (b) calculate the heat transfer for process 1–2, in kj.

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.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

The filament of an incandescent lamp has a temperature of 2000k. calculate the fraction of radiation emitted in the visible light band if the filament is approximated as blackbody
