Students used a potato gun to illustrate one of the gas laws. as they decreased the volume of the air in between two pieces of potato, the pressure exerted by the gas increased. this increase in pressure eventually forces the potato out of a tube.

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." during this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a straight flight path, which sets the wings in circular motion. if it takes it 35 s to complete the circle and the wingspan of the plane is 11 m, what is the acceleration of the wing tip

Steam is generated in a boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 mpa and 450°c at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. in normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.5 mpa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. in this mode, no steam passes through a condenser, which operates at 20 kpa. (a) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate at which process heat is supplied in this mode. (b) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate of process heat supplied if only 60 percent of the steam is routed to the process heater and the remainder is expanded to the condenser pressure. (3.32 mw; 9.69 mw; 4.25 mw; 5.82 mw)
