A trapezoidal channel of bottom width 25 ft and side slope 1:2.5 carries a discharge of 450 cfs with a normal depth of 3.5 ft. The elevations at the beginning and end of the channel are 685 and 650 ft., respectively. Determine the length of the channel if n-0.02

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

Abrake has a normal braking torque of 2.8 kip in and heat-dissipating cast-iron surfaces whose mass is 40 lbm. suppose a load is brought to rest in 8.0 s from an initial angular speed of 1600 rev/min using the normal braking torque; estimate the temperature rise of the heat dissipating surfaces.

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 0.015 m3 is at 32°c and 140 kpa gage. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 206 kpa gage. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 128 kpa and the temperature and the volume to remain constant.[r-0.287 kj/kgk]
