A) Calculate the cross-sectional area, in mm², of a piece of copper wire, 40 m in length
and having a resistance of 0.25 2. Take the resistivity of copper as 0.02 x 10-6 22 m.
b) A coil of 20 2 resistance is joined in parallel with a coil of R2 resistance. This
combination is then joined in series with a piece of apparatus A, and the whole circuit
connected to 100 V mains. What must be the value of R so that A shall dissipate 600
W with 10 A passing through it?
c) A load taking 200 A is supplied by copper and aluminium cables connected in parallel.
The total length of conductor in each cable is 200 m, and each conductor has a cross-
sectional area of 40 mm2. Calculate:
the voltage drop in the combined cables;
the current carried by each cable; .
the power wasted in each cable. Take the resistivity of copper and aluminium
as 0.018 um and 0.028 um respectively.

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
