A spring compresses 0.8 m when the 800 kg crate of llamas slides down and hits it. Ignore friction and find the spring constant of the spring. The ramp is at a 47° angle.

The step-down transformer gives a current of 10a at 24v if the primary voltage is 240v calculate the 1_primary current 2_the power input 3_the power output

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

Which are advantages of renewable resources? check all that apply. renewable energy supplies are completely reliable everywhere. some renewable resources will never be used up. little or no waste is produced by renewable resource plants. electricity can be generated in large quantities. many renewable energy facilities have lower operating costs.
