How many concrete blocks are required to erect a 2-foot high wall for the foundation

The thermal expansion or contraction of a given metal is a function of the f a)-density b)-initial temperature c)- temperature difference d)- linear coefficient of thermal expansion e)- final temperature f)- original length

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.

Areaction-bonded silicon nitride ceramic has a strength of 250 mpa and a fracture toughness of 3.4 mpa(m)^1/2, what is the largest-sized internal flaw that this material can support without fracturing? (use y -1 in the fracture-toughness equation.)
