A mechanical device rests in a level position on two supports, each 42 in. high, at 60°F.The support at one end is gray cast iron; at the other end, structural steel. What is the greatest amount the device can be out of level due to differences in expansion if the temperature rises to 165°F?
Above is a pressure vessel with air in the form of gas. If the pressure vessel is used in the air vehicle, please provide at least two recommendations that can be applied in the system to ensure that the gas pressure inside does not change in the event of a temperature change due to a change in altitude
Consider the setup below in which three different soil layers, each 200 mm in length, are located inside a cylindrical tube of diameter 150 mm. A constant-head difference of 470 mm is maintained across the soil sample. The porosities and hydraulic conductivities of the three soils in the direction of the flow are as given in the following table: Soil I n 0.5 0.6 0.33 Water supply k (cm/sec) 5 x 10-³ 4.2 × 10 2 3.9 X 10+ Perform the following tasks: a. Determine the quantity of water flowing through the sample per hour. b. Denoting the downstream water level (Y-Y) to be the datum, determine the elevation head, pressure head, and the total head at the entrance and exit of each soil layer. c. Plot the variation of the elevation head, pressure head and the total head with the horizontal distance along the sample axis (X-X). d.

Can you please help with the below Qs?
Air flows into this room at the rate of 71 cu ft/min. How many minutes will ittake to change the air in this room?
Air enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540°R, 15 lbf/in.², with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity of 60 ft/s. The ratio of the exit area to the inlet area is 8. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air and ignoring heat transfer, determine the temperature, in °R, and pressure, in lbf/in.², at the exit. Part A * Your answer is incorrect. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air and ignoring heat transfer, determine the temperature at the exit, in °R. T₂ = i -1244.63 °R
Imagine a parcel of air that has a temperature of 40°C at the surface and a dew-point temperature of 20°C at the lifting condensation level. Assume that the environmental lapse rate is 8°C per 1000 meters, the dry adiabatic lapse rate is 10°C per 1000 meters, and the wet adiabatic lapse rate is 6°C/1000 meters. In Table C , record the environmental temperature, the parcel temperature, and the temperature difference (parcel temperature minus the environmental temperature), and then determine whether the atmosphere is stable or unstable at each height. a. What is the height of the lifting condensation level? b. Does this example describe absolute stability, absolute instability, or conditional instability? c. Would you forecast thunderstorms under these conditions?
A fluid enters a device steadily at 35 m/s, 200 kPa and 65C and exits at 240 m/s and 95 kPa. The heat transferred from the device to the surrounds at 17C is founded to be 3 kJ/kg. If the exit velocity is varying from 100 to 300 m/s, determine the exit temperature and exergy destroyed and plot the results. Take the fluid is Air. Please solve the above question with EES only.
