Link BD is made of brass (E = 105 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of 240 mm2. Link CE is made of aluminium (E = 72 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of 300 mm2. Knowing that they support rigid member ABC, determine the maximum force P that can be applied vertically at point A if the deflection of A is not to exceed 0.44 mm.

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false

Thermal stresses are developed in a metal when its a) initial temperature is changed b) final temperature is changed c) density is changed d) thermal deformation is prevented e) expansion is prevented f) contraction is prevented

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
