In this assignment, you will experiment with the performance impact of multithreading using real time measurements. you will use the posix thread library on a unix system. your job is to write a program that sorts an array of random integers first sequentially and then using multi-threading. your program should take the following three command-line arguments: 1. the array size (a positive integer between 1 and 100 000 000)

Coiled springs ought to be very strong and stiff. si3n4 is a strong, stiff material. would you select this material for a spring? explain.

Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.14 mpa and -10°c at a rate of 0.05 ka/s and leaves at 0.8 mpa and 50°c. the refrigerant is cooied in the condenser to 0.72 mpa and 26'c. it is then throttled to 0.15 mpa. sketch the t-s diagram for the system and evaluate: 6) the rate of heat removai from the refrigerated space (kw), it) the power input to the compressor (kw), ii) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor (%), and iv) the cop of the refrigerator.

Arigid tank contains 10 kg of air at 137 kpa (abs) and 21°c. more air is added to the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 242 kpa (abs) and 32°c, respectively. determine the amount of air added to the tank. [r-0.287 kj/kg k]
