In this chapter, we introduced a number of general properties of systems. In partic-ular, a system may or may not be (1) Memoryless
(2) Time invariant
(3) Linear
(4) Causal
(5) Stable
Determine which of these properties hold and which do not hold for each of the following continuous-time systems. Justify your answers. In each example, y(t) de-notes the system output and x(t) is the system input

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Air is compressed isentropically from an initial state of 300 k and 101 kpa to a final temperature of 1000 k. determine the final pressure using the following approaches: (a) approximate analysis (using properties at the average temperature) (b) exact analysis

Air inially occupying a volume of 1 m2 at 100 kpa, 27 c undergoes three internally reversible processes in series. process 1-2 compression to 500 kpa during which pv constant process 2-3 adiabatic expanslon to 100 kpa process 3-1: constant-pressure expansion to 100 kpa (a) calculate the change of entropy for each of the three processes. (b) calculate the heat and work involved in each process. (c) is this cycle a power cycle or refrigeration cycle?
