A 5-m diameter parachute of a new design is to be used to transport a load from flight altitude to the ground with an average vertical speed of 3 m/s. The total weight of the load and parachute is 200 N. Determine the approximate drag coefficient (CD) for the parachute.

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Consider airflow over a flat plate of length l = 1.5 m under conditions for which transition occurs at le = 0.9 m based on the critical reynolds number, re, e = 5 x 10. evaluating the thermophysical properties of air at 400 k, determine the air velocity. (hint: use the tables to find the properties of air)

Amass of 3 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 150 kpa. initially, 1 kg of the water is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor phase. heat is now transferred to the water, and the piston, which is resting on a set of stops, starts moving when the pressure inside reaches 500 kpa. heat transfer continues until the total volume increases by 20 percent. determine (a)-the initial and final temperatures, (b)-the mass of liquid water when the piston first starts moving, and (c)-the work done during this process. d)-show the process on a p-v diagram. you don't need to indicate p& v values, but clearly indicate where all states are located in the phase diagram.
