In the 1930s, the U. S. Navy operated dirigibles. The largest was the U. S.S. Akron with a length of 785 ft and a maximum diameter of 132 ft. Its maximum speed was 84 mph (123.2 ft/sec). Moving at top speed at 10,000 ft standard atmosphere, estimate the power required in horsepower to overcome the friction drag. Disregard effects of fins and other protrusions. Assume the surface of the dirigible is smooth and the friction drag is that over a flat plate. W=

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature

Which of the following refers to refers to how well the control system responds to sudden changes in the system. a)-transient regulation b)- distributed regulation c)-constant regulation d)-steady-state regulation
