A block is released from rest at the top of a hill of height h. If there is negligible friction between the block and the hill, the block arrives at the bottom of the hill with speed v. The block is released from rest at the top of another hill with a rough surface and height h. If one-half of the initial mechanical energy of the block-Earth system is lost due to friction as the block descends the hill, the block will reach the bottom of the hill with a speed of

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
