0.05 kg of steam at 5 bar is contained in a rigid vessel of volume 0.0076m3 . What is the temperature of the steam? If the vessel is cooled, at what temperature will the steam be just dry saturated? Cooling is contained until the pressure in the vessel is 11 bar, determine the final dryness fraction of the steam, and the heat rejected between the initial and the final states.
Determine the drag coefficient c needed for a parachutist of mass m=68.1kg to have a velocity of 40m/s after free-falling for time t=10s. Note: The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. Use the Regula Falsi method
The displacement of an oscillating spring can be described by x = A cos(wt) where x = displacement at time t, A = maximum displacement, w = angular frequency, which depends on the spring constant and the mass attached to the spring, and t = time. Find the displacement, x, with maximum displacement A of 4 cm, for times from 0 to 120 seconds with increments of 30 seconds, and angular frequencies from 0.4 to 0.6 radians/sec, with increments of 0.1 radians/sec. The displacement for all combinations of times and angular frequencies needs to be calculated. Use meshgrid. Display your results in a matrix with angular frequencies along the top row and times along the left column like so (you may put zero, 0, or NaN, in the upper left corner:
The following data were gathered to determine the relationship between pressure and temperature of a fixed volume of 1 kg nitrogen. The volume is 10 m3. Using Numerical Methods, employ the ideal gas law pV=nRT to determine R on the basis of data. Note that for the law, T must be expressed in kelvins.
2. Heat conduction in a square plate Three sides of a rectangular plate (@ = 5 m, b = 4 m) are kept at a temperature of 0 C and one side is kept at a temperature C, as shown in the figure. Determine and plot the ; temperature distribution T(x, y) in the plate. The temperature distribution, T(x, y) in the plate can be determined by solving the two-dimensional heat equation. For the given boundary conditions T(x, y) can be expressed analytically by a Fourier series (Erwin Kreyszig, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, John Wiley and Sons, 1993):
Suppose that a parachutist with linear drag (m=50 kg, c=12.5kg/s) jumps from an airplane flying at an altitude of a kilometer with a horizontal velocity of 220 m/s relative to the ground. a) Write a system of four differential equations for x,y,vx=dx/dt and vy=dy/dt. b) If theinitial horizontal position is defined as x=0, use Euler’s methods with t=0.4 s to compute the jumper’s position over the first 40 s. c) Develop plots of y versus t and y versus x. Use the plot to graphically estimate when and where the jumper would hit the ground if the chute failed to open.

Certain bacteria cells are being observed in an experiment. The population triples in 1 hour. If at the end of 3 hours, the population is 27,000, how many bacteria cells were present at the start of the experiment? After how many hours, approximately, will the number of cells reach 1 million?
7. For each of the following equations of lines in x-y coordinates, find the values of ‘p’ and ‘θ’ in the polar system given as: “p=xcos θ + ysin θ”: a) x=4 b) y=10 c) x=y
We are given that the incubation time is normally distributed with a mean of 35 days and standard deviation of 2 days. Therefore, ? = and ? = .We wish to determine how many of the 10,000 eggs can be expected to hatch in 31 to 39 days. Since 35 − 31 = 4, 31 days is located standard deviations to the left of the mean. Similarly, 39 days is located standard deviations to the right of the mean.
