In the clean room we discovered that when we lower the pressure in the chamber the plasma extinguishes (current goes to zero). what happened?
1. the pressure was dropped by driving a vacuum pump harder which probably tripped a circuit breaker that also supplied current to the power supplies driving the discharge. if there is no applied voltage there can be no current.
2. the mean free path increases as the pressure drops and if there are not enough ionizing collisions the process is not self-sustaining and the number of charge carriers available to carry the current drops to zero.
3. the plasma extinguishes when the pressure is below the minimum pressure required to maintain the plasma.
4. according tot he ideal gas law, the density of atoms or molecules drops when the pressure is decreased n = n/v = p/(kb*t). plasmas require a minimum density to operate.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
