Textbook Question
Chapter 16.5, Problem 11CC
- a. Create a variable named MTS containing the text My here’shat
- b. Create a variable named D containing 17 blanks followed by your name followed by 691 more blanks.
- c. Assume Avian=’A wet birt never flick at right’;
Modify Avian so that the word “wet” is replaced with the word “crepuscular” and the word “never” is replaced by “seldom”. Note that you should actually modify ONLY the two words in question, not simply type in the complete new sentence.
- d. Assume Ultimate=’The answer is 42’;
Convert the substring “42” in Ultimate into its corresponding numeric value and place it in UltAns. Your solution should work as long as the “number” at the end of the string is exactly two digits. HINT: Look in Table 15-8.

The regenerator has an effectiveness of 75%, and the air enters the turbine at 1400 K. Assume variable specific heats for air. For a turbine efficiency of 90 percent, determine the amount of heat transfer in the regenerator. The amount of heat transfer in the regenerator is kJ/kg.arrow_forward
- Air enters the compressor of a regenerative gas turbine engine at 310 K and 100 kPa, where it is compressed to 900 kPa and 650 K. The regenerator has an effectiveness of 79 percent, and the air enters the turbine at 1400 K. Assume constant specific heats for air at room temperature. The properties of air at room temperature are cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K and k = 1.4. For a turbine efficiency of 90 percent, determine the amount of heat transfer in the regenerator. The amount of heat transfer in the regenerator is kJ/kg.arrow_forwardHints: Find the closed loop transfer function and then plot the step response for diFerentvalues of K in MATLAB.
