Below is a projection of the inertia ellipsoid in the b1-b2 plane (b1 and b2 are unit vectors). All points on the ellipsoid surface represent moments of inertia in various directions.
The distance R is related to the distance D such that R = md. Determine m.
Below is a projection of the inertia ellipsoid in the b1-b2 plane (b1 and b2 are unit vectors). All points on the ellipsoid surface represent moments of inertia in various directions.
Determine I_aa ( moment of inertia) for direction n_a (this is a unit vector).
The problems are generally based on the following model:
A particular spacecraft can be represented as a single axisymmetric rigid body B. Let n₂
be inertially fixed unit vectors; then, 6, are parallel to central, principal axes. To make
the mathematics simpler, introduce a frame C where n₂ = ĉ₁ = b; initially.

Steam exits the boiler at 60 bar, 540°C and undergoes a throttling process to 40 bar before entering the turbine. Steam expands adiabatically through the turbine to 5 bar, 240°C, and then undergoes a throttling process to 1 bar before entering the condenser. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Draw a Temperature-Entropy diagram and mark each of the states 2-5 on this diagram. Determine the power generated by the turbine, in kJ per kg of steam flowing. For the valves and the turbine, evaluate the rate of entropy production, each in kJ/K per kg of steam flowing.arrow_forward
