The graph to the right shows the amount of acres burned by wildfires in the 11 western states of the United States between 1916 and 2015. Using the graph, describe how acres burned by wildfires changed over time in the western states of the US.

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.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater

Select any two (2) areas of applications of chain-drive. (clo4) a)-permanent lubrication necessary b)-hydraulic forklift truck operation c)-rigging and heavy moving materials d)-relatively high maintenance costs e)-costlier than belt drives
