Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. the inlet conditions of the steam are 4 mpa, 5008c, and 80 m/s, and the exit conditions are 30 kpa, 92 percent quality, and 50 m/s. the mass flow rate of the steam is 12 kg/s. determine (a) the change in kinetic energy, (b) the power output, and (c) the turbine inlet area

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

Steam enters a converging nozzle at 3.0 mpa and 500°c with a at 1.8 mpa. for a nozzle exit area of 32 cm2, determine the exit velocity, mass flow rate, and exit mach number if the nozzle: negligible velocity, and it exits (a) is isentropic (b) has an efficiency of 94 percent

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
