Agroup of engineers has just conducted an experimental trial on a shoe desined to people suffering from a painful foot disorder. during the trial the shoe proved effective for only 5% of the test subjects. what should the engineers do next?

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature
