A strain gauge is used to measure the strain on a vibrating beam which can vibrate up to a maximum frequency of 60 Hz. The strain gauge analog signal is converted in to a digital signal via an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) in order to store the data on a computer hard drive. The engineer responsible for this measurement mistakenly selects a sampling frequency of 90 Hz for the ADC. (a) Determine the alias frequency due to the small sampling frequency. (b) Propose a sampling frequency that will not result into aliasing of the analog signal (make sure to provide your rationale for selecting this frequency).

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false
