1. What is the critical depth of flow for a trapezoidal channel with a bottom of 1.5 feet and 1.4 to 1 horizontal to vertical side slopes? The discharge is 9 cubic feet per second and the Manning number is 0.013 with a 3-foot drop over 1000 feet. Is the slope steep or mild?

Determine whether or not it is possible to compress air adiabatically from k to 140 kpa and 400 k. what is the entropy change during this process?

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.

Most leaks in reciprocating air compressors can be detected and minimized by: (clo4) a)-detecting leakage areas using ultrasonic acoustic detector. b)-tightening joints and connections c)-replacing faulty equipment d)-all of the given options
