Steam enters a converging nozzle at 800 kPa and 280C with negligible velocity. If the process is isentropic, estimate the minimum pressure that can be reached in such a nozzle and the cross-sectional area at the nozzle throat at this pressure for a flow rate of 0.75 kg/s.

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.

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
