Asimple non-ideal rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates between the pressure limits of 15 mpa in the boiler and 125 kpa in the condenser. saturated steam enters the turbine. irreversibilities in the turbine cause the steam quality at the outlet of the turbine to be 70 percent. determine the isentropic efficiency of the turbine and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
