A uniform, pin-ended column of length l and bending stiffness EI has an initial curvature such that the lateral displacement at any point between the column and the straight line joining is ends is given by: Vo = a. 2
Show that the maximum bending moment due to a compressive end load P is given by max(jl) where lamda2 = P/ EI

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.
