- If you have a spring mass damper system, given by m*x_double_dot + c*x_dot + kx = 0 where m, c, k (all positive scalars) are the mass, damper coefficient, and spring coefficient, respectively. x ∈ R represents the displacement of the mass. Using linear stability analysis, show that the system is asymptotically stable. Hint: stability of a linear system z_dot = Az is characterized by the eigenvalues of A.arrow_forwardWhat would the electropneumatic diagram of a circuit with the sequence a+b+c+(a-b-c-) look like?arrow_forward### What would the electropneumatic diagram of a circuit with the sequence a+b+c+(a-b-c-) look like, with a counter, in the fluidsim?arrow_forward
- You are asked to design a unit to condense ammonia. The required condensation rate is 0.09kg/s. Saturated ammonia at 30 o C is passed over a vertical plate (10 cm high and 25 cm wide).The properties of ammonia at the saturation temperature of 30°C are hfg = 1144 ́10^3 J/kg andrv = 9.055 kg/m 3 . Use the properties of liquid ammonia at the film temperature of 20°C (Ts =10 o C):Pr = 1.463 rho_l= 610.2 kf/m^3 liquid viscosity= 1.519*10^-4 kg/ ms kinematic viscosity= 2.489*10^-7 m^2/s Cpl= 4745 J/kg C kl=0.4927 W/m CCalculate the surface temperature required to achieve the desired condensation rate of 0.09 kg/s( should be 688 degrees C) a) Show that if you use a bigger vertical plate (2.5 m-wide and 0.8 m-height), the requiredsurface temperature would be now 20 o C. You may use all the properties given as an initialguess. No need to iterate to correct for Tf. b) What if you still want to use small plates because of the space constrains? One way to getaround this problem is to use small…arrow_forwardA differential element on the bracket is subjected to plane strain that has the following components:, Ɛx = 300 × 10-6, Ɛy = 150 × 10-6, Ɛxy = -750 x 10-6.
