Explain the three performance criteria in design a truss bridge structure.

Arigid tank contains 10 kg of air at 137 kpa (abs) and 21°c. more air is added to the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 242 kpa (abs) and 32°c, respectively. determine the amount of air added to the tank. [r-0.287 kj/kg k]

Around steel bar, made from material with a yield stress of 750mpa, is loaded so that it has stresses co locations of maximum normal stress and maximum shear stress. use maximum shear stress and maximum distortion energy theories to calculate the safety factors for initial yielding failures.

Aheat pump that operates on the ideal vapor compression cycle with refrigerant-134a is used to heat water from 15°c to 45°c at a rate of 0.12 kg/s. the condenser and evaporator pressures are 1.4 and 0.32 mpa, respectively determine: (a) the power input to the heat pump
