An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat uses water as the working fluid. The conditions at the inlet to the first-stage turbine are p1 5 2500 lbf/in.2, T1 5 10008F. The steam is reheated at constant pressure p between the turbine stages to 10008F. The condenser pressure is 1 lbf/in.2 (a) If p/p1 5 0.2, determine the cycle thermal efficiency and the steam quality at the exit of the second-stage turbine.

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise

Thermal stresses are developed in a metal when its a) initial temperature is changed b) final temperature is changed c) density is changed d) thermal deformation is prevented e) expansion is prevented f) contraction is prevented

Slip occurs via two partial dislocations because of (a) the shorter path of the partial dislocation lines; (b) the lower energy state through partial dislocations; (c) the charge balance.
