Apiston-cylinder device contains 0.1 kg of hydrogen gas (pg model: cv=10.18, k = 1.4, r= 4.12 kj/kg-k) at 1000 kpa and 300 k. the gas undergoes an expansion process and the final conditions are 500 kpa, 270 k. if 10 kj of heat is transferred into the gas from the surroundings at 300 k, determine (a) the boundary work (wb), and (b) the entropy generated (sgen) during the process

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false
