Q1] B/ (16 Marks) To produce a lightweight epoxy part to provide thermal insulation. The available
material are hollow glass beads for which the outside diameter is 1.6 mm and the wall thickness is 0.04
mm. Determine the weight and number of beads that must be added to the epoxy to produce a 0.5 kg of
composite with a density of 0.65 g/cm³. The density of the glass is 2.5 g/cm³ and that of the epoxy is
1.25 g/cm³.

- Liquid water enters the boiler at 60 bar. 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.
