Q2: A calender having rolls of diameter 0.3 m produces plastic sheet 1 m wide at the rate of 2000 kg/hour. If the roll speed is 5 rev/minute and the nip between the rolls is 4.5 mm, estimate the position and magnitude of the maximum pressure. The density of the material is 1400 kg/m3 and its viscosity is 1.5 x 104 Ns/m 2 . (20 Marks)​

Is it possible to use the energy from two atoms colliding to create a clean burning lasting fuel source with a large amount of force? is it also possible to harness that energy from the two atoms colliding to create a clean energy source that will last for years from just two atoms colliding. is there a possibility to control and store that energy for years but slowly let the energy out enough to power cities cheaper and faster.

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.

Suppose water is leaking from a tank through a circular hole of area ah at its bottom. when water leaks through a hole, friction and contraction of the stream near the hole reduce the volume of water leaving the tank per second to cah 2gh , where c (0 < c < 1) is an empirical constant. a tank in the form of a right-circular cone standing on end, vertex down, is leaking water through a circular hole in its bottom. (assume the removed apex of the cone is of negligible height and volume.) (a) suppose the tank is 20 feet high and has radius 8 feet and the circular hole has radius 2 inches. the differential equation governing the height h in feet of water leaking from a tank after t seconds is dh dt = − 5 6h3/2 . if the height of the water is initially 8 feet, how long will it take the tank to empty? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
