A column between floors of a multi-story building frame is subjected to biaxial bending at the top and bottom. The column member consists of a Grade S275 steel 305 × 305 UC158 section. Investigate its adequacy if the design load data are as follows: Ultimate axial compression = 2300 kN, Ultimate moments, Top-about major axis = 300 kN m, about minor axis = 50 kN m, Bottom-about major axis = 150 kN m, about minor axis= −80 kN m. Effective length of column = 6.0m

An air conditioning system consist of a 5 cm diameter pipe, operating at a pressure of 200 kpa. the air initially enters the pipe at 15°c with a velocity of 20 m/s and relative humidity of 80%. if the heat supply throughout the process is 960 w, determine the relative humidity and the temperature at the outlet

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise
