An inventor has developed a machine that extracts energy from water and other effluents drained from apartments in a building. The machine essentially consists of a hydraulic turbine placed in the basement (level zero), through which the effluents pass before being dumped into the sewage system.
(a) If the average height of an apartment relative to the location of the turbine is 30 meters and the average flow from each apartment (assume it to be water) is 100 liters per day, calculate the average power produced by the contraption if there are 100 apartments in the building. Assume ambient state to be 300 K, 1 bar.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.

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.
