Two parallel members abc and def are placed between two
wallsand are connected by link be. neglecting friction between
themembers and the walls, determine the range of values of
thedistance a for which the load p can be supported.

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

An air compression refrigeration system is to have an air pressure of 100 psia in the brine tank and an allowable air temperature increase of 60°f for standard vapor compression cycle temperatures of 77 f entering the expansion cylinder and 14 f entering the compression cylinder, calculate the coefficient of performance a. 2.5 b 3.3 c. 4.0 d. 5.0

An engine runs on the ideal diesel cycle. the cycle has a compression ratio of 20 and a cutoff ratio of 2. the highest temperature in the cycle is 1200 k. if the heat into the system is 300 kj/kg of working fluid and using variable specific heats determine the work produced per mass of working fluid
