Two cylindrical rods, AC made of aluminum and CD made of steel, are joined at C and restrained by rigid supports at A and D. It is given that Ea = 10.4 × 106 psi, Es = 29 × 106 psi, and P = 26 kips. Determine (a) the reactions at A and D, and

(b) the deflection of point C.

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.
