A safety valve (pressure relieve valve) on top of a pressure vessel containing steam under pressure p = 2 MPa, has a discharge hole of diameter d = 10 mm as shown in the figure below. The valve is designed to release the steam when the pressure reaches the maximum allowable value pmax = 2.23 MPa. If the free height (i.e., uncompressed height) of the spring hfree = 135 mm and its spring stiffness k = 5 kN/m, what should be the dimension h of the valve?
A windmill turns a series of slender rods fixed about one end . They are initially 2 meters long, and go at a speed of 15 revolutions per minute. I suggested making the blades 1m long to reduce the cross-sectional area of the windmill, keeping the mass the same for mechanical stress consistency. How fast are the windmill blades going now, in revolutions per minute?

A shaft having length equal to 10 m and diameter equal to (50+ 01) mm is simply supported at both ends. The shatt carries four masses (150 + 01) kg, (200 + 01) kg, (250 +01) kg and (300 + 01) kg. These masses are located at a distance of 1.5m, 2.5 m, 5.5 mand 7.5 m from the left hand side support, respectively. The modulus of elasticity, E, for the material of the shaft is 200 GN/m? and mass density for the shaft material is 7500 kg/m?3. Determine critical speed of the shaft in revolutions per minute for the following two cases: 1. Effect of the mass of the shaft is neglected. 2. Effect of the mass of the shaft is considered. What is the usefulness of the answers determined in this problem?
