In a reheat steam cycle, the maximum steam temperature is limited to 500 c. the condenser pressure is 0.1 bar and the quality at turbine exhaust is 0.8778. had there been no reheat the exhaust quality would have been 0.7592. assuming ideal processes, determine (a) the reheat pressure, (b) the boiler pressure, (c) the cycle efficiency, and (d) the steam rate

Awater-filled u-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure inside a tank that contains air. the water level in the u-tube on the side that connects to the tank is 5 ft above the base of the tank. the water level in the other side of the u-tube (which is open to the atmosphere) is 2 ft above the base. determine the pressure within the tank.

Lacie kicks a football from ground level at a velocity of 13.9 m/s and at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. how long will the ball be in the air before it lands? how far will the football travel before it lands?

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?
