The flow meter installed in the piping system measures the mass flow rate. Assume that the flow meter has a 0.5-in-diameter, square-edged orifice plate is used to meter the steady flow of 16C water through a 1.0-in pipe. Flange taps are used and the pressure drop measured is 50 cm Hg. Determine the air volume flow rate through the piping system. The specific gravity of mercury is 13.5.

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

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

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
