In a shear cutting process, a sheet of soft cold-rolled steel has a thickness of 2 mm and a width of 1 m. The yield strength and the tensile strength is 175 MPa and 300 MPa, respectively. The clearance allowance value for the steel is 0.06. Determine the cutting force in N

Air enters a horizontal, constant-diameter heating duct operating at steady state at 290 k, 1 bar, with a volumetric flow rate of 0.25 m°/s, and exits at 325 k, 0.95 bar. the flow area is 0.04 m2. assuming the ideal gas model with k = 1.4 for the air, determine (a) the velocity at the inlet and exit, each in m/s, and (c) the rate of heat transfer, in kw flow rate, in kg/s, (b) the mass kg 0.3
