A rectangular channel 6 m wide carries a discharge of 0.8 m3/s. At a certain section the channel rougness changes suddenly. The normal depths in the reaches upstream and downstream of sudden change are 0.9 m and 0.7 m, respectively. The channel slope is 0.5 %. Using a single step of the direct-step method, estimate the length of the reach of nonuniform flow.

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
