Gaseous methane is compressed polytropically by a piston from 250C and 0.80 bar to a pressure of 5.0 bar. Assuming an index of compression of 1.2, calculate the change of entropy and work done, per unit mass of the gas. The relative molecular mass of methane is 16 and = 1.30.

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false

Vibration monitoring this technique uses the noise or vibration created by mechanical equipment and in seme cases by plant systems to detemine their actual condtion. a)- true b)- false

Apiping systems consists of 6 m of 6-std type k and 12 m of 4-std type k, both drawn copper tubing. the system conveys ethylene glycol at a rate of 0.013 m3/s. the pressure drop across the system is to be calculated. there are two 90° elbows in the 6-in pipe, a reduction from the 6-in pipe to the 4-in pipe and four 90° elbows in the 4-in pipe. all fittings are soldered (same as flanged) and regular. the inlet and outlet of the system are at the same height.
