Two forces are applied to a tree stump to pull it out of the ground. Force A has a magnitude of 2410 newtons (N) and points 36.0 ° south of east, while force B has a magnitude of 4470 N and points due south. Using the component method, find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the resultant force A + B that is applied to the stump. Specify the direction as a positive angle with respect to due east.

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
