Dry air of a constant temperature of T passes through a valve into a rigid spherical container. The pressure at the input is pi. The linear resistance of the two valves at the inlet and the outlet are R1 and R2 respectively. Assume that the process is isothermal. Required:
a. Develop a mathematical model of the pressure p in the container.
b. Denote the volume flow rate at the outlet as q0.
c. Determine the transfer function relating pi and p for this pneumatic system if q0

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.

What is the chief metrological difference between measuring with a microscope and with an electronic comparator? a. the microscope is limited to small workpieces. a. the microscope is limited to small workpieces. c. the comparator can only examine one point on the workpiece. d. the microscope carries its own standard.

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]
