A cast steel frame is to be used as the core of an inductor. An 800 turn coil is wound on the centre limb of the frame which has two similar outer limbs in parallel with each other. The frame has the following parameters: Outer limb: c. s.a. of 2000 mm2 and length of 700mm. Centre limb: c. s.a of 4000 mm2 and length of 250 mm. Determine the coil current to set up a flux of 1 mwb if a saw-tooth (an air-gap) of 1 mm is cut in the centre limb. The relative permeability of steel is 1000.

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

Ajournal bearing has a journal diameter of 3.250 in with a unilateral tolerance of 20.003 in. the bushing bore has a diameter of 3.256 in and a unilateral tolerance of 0.004 in. the bushing is 2.8 in long and supports a 700-lbf load. the journal speed is 900 rev/min. find the minimum oil film thickness and the maximum film pressure for both sae 20 and sae 20w-30 lubricants, for the tightest assembly if the operating film temperature is 160°f. a computer code is appropriate for solving this problem.

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
