The pressure and temperature at the beginning of compression of an air-standard diesel cycle are 95 kpa and 300 k, respectively. at the end of the heat addition, the pressure is 7.2 mpa and the temperature is 2150 k. determine (a) the compression ratio. (b) the cutoff ratio. (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. (d) the mean effective pressure, in kpa.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Aquick transition of the operating speed of a shaft from its critical speed will whirl amplitude. (a) increase (b) limit (c) not affect (d) zero

Air is compressed isentropically from an initial state of 300 k and 101 kpa to a final temperature of 1000 k. determine the final pressure using the following approaches: (a) approximate analysis (using properties at the average temperature) (b) exact analysis
