- 1. Pressures up to 3000 bar are measured with a dead-weight gauge. The piston diameter is 4 mm. What is the approximate mass in kg of the weights required? 2. A gas is confined in a 0.47 m diameter cylinder by a piston, on which rests a weight. The mass of the piston and weight together is 150 kg. The local acceleration of gravity is 9.813 m's-2, and atmospheric pressure is 101.57 kPa. (a) What is the force in newtons exerted on the gas by the atmosphere, the piston, and the weight, assuming no friction between the piston and cylinder? (b) What is the pressure of the gas in kPa? (c) If the gas in the cylinder is heated, it expands, pushing the piston and weight upward. If the piston and weight are raised 0.83 m, what is the work done by the gas in kJ? What is the change in potential energy of the piston and weight? 3. Steam at 1400 kPa and 350°C [state 1] enters a turbine through a pipe that is 8 cm in diameter, at a mass flow rate of 0.1 kg: s-1. The exhaust from the turbine is…arrow_forwardConvert the following units The specific gravity if steel is 7.9 . What is the volumr in cubic feet of a steel in got weighing 2000 lb? Water is flowing through a 1.5 in diameter pipe with a velocity of 2ft/s. What is the kinetic energy of water in ft.lbf/lbm? Heat capacity for acetic acid can be calculated using the following: a. Cp=8.41+2.4346×10-5T ; b. Cp=J.mol-1°C-1 and T = °C. Please modify the formula so that the resulting expression has the associated units of kj.kmol-1 and T is in K.arrow_forwardF2 =P2A2 F, = P,A, 1. What is the force required in newton (N), to lift a car weighing 1000 -kg, using a hydraulic car jack with a piston area ratio (A2/A1) of 10. 2. The large piston in a hydraulic lift has a radius of 250 cm2. What force (kgf) must be applied to the small piston with a radius of 25 cm2 in order to raise a car of mass 1500 kg? 3. A trash compactor pushes down with a force of 500 N on a 3 cm2 input piston, causing a force of 30,000 N to crush the trash. What is the area of the output piston that crushes the trash?arrow_forward
- 20. Calculate the pressure at a height of 8000 m above sea-level if the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kN/m² and temperature is 15°C at the sea-level assuming (i) air is incompressible, (ii) pressure variation follows adiabatic law, and (iii) pressure variation follows isothermal law. Take the density of air at the sea-level equal to 1.285 kg/m³. Neglect variation of gwith altitude. [Ans. (i) 607.5 N/m², (ii) 31.5 kN/m² (iji) 37 45 kN/m² 1arrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE Specific Volume is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation under shear stress. While a unit expresses a specific type of physical quantity, a dimension assigns a property of scale so that the unit can be measured. Temperature at which water has the highest density is usually taken as 4°C(39.2°F). The continuum concept in hydraulics assumes that a fluid often behaves as if itwere comprised of continuous matter that is infinitely divisible into smaller and smaller parts.arrow_forwardk = 2.5 lb/ft 5 G 0.85 4 ftarrow_forward
