An escalator in a shopping center is designed to move 50 people, 75 kg each, at a constant speed of 0.6 m/s at 450 slope. determine: (a) the minimum power input needed to drive this escalator, and (b) what would your answer be if the escalator velocity were to be doubled?

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2

Atank with constant volume contains 2.27 kg of a mixture of water phases (liquid-vapor). in the initial state the temperature and the quality are 127 °c and 0.6, respectively. the mixture is heated until the temperature of 160 oc is reached. illustrate the process in a t-v diagram. then, determine (1) the mass of the vapor in kg at the initial state, (2) the final pressure in kpa.
