Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 mpa with a quality of 0.9 and exits at the same pressure as saturated liquid. the steam mass flow rate is 1.3 kg/min. a separate stream of air with a mass flow rate of 100 kg/min enters at 30°c and exits at 60 c. the ideal gas model with cp = 1.005 kj/kg-k can be assumed for air. kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. determine the temperature of the entering steam, in °c. for the overall heat exchanger as the control volume, what is the rate of heat transfer, in kw

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Different types of steels contain different elements that alter the characteristics of the steel. for each of the following elements, explain what the element does when alloyed with steel.
