You plan to install an active, liquid-based solar heating system for hot water. There are four candidate collector systems. Your calculations provided the following data for the month of June. Using f-charts/equations, which of the four collector systems will provide the most collected energy for the month? X Y2.87 0.963.466 0.9983.229 1.085.525 1.0094

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.

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.

Agas mixture consists of 8 kmol of h2 and 2 kmol of n2. determine the mass of each gas and the apparent gas constant of the mixture.
