A machine uses a pair of concentric helical compression springs to support an essentially static load of 3.0 kN. Both springs are made of steel and have the same length when loaded and when unloaded. The outer spring had D=45 mm, d=8 mm, N=5; the inner spring D=25 mm, d=5 mm, and N=10. Calculate the deflection and also the maximum stress in each spring.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.

The drive force for diffusion is 7 fick's first law can be used to solve the non-steady state diffusion. a)-true b)-false
