Question: Problem 1 ( 1 5 p ) : A fan is to accelerate quiescent air to a velocity of 1 8 m s at a

Problem 1(15 p ): A fan is to accelerate quiescent air to a velocity of 18ms at a rate of 4m3min. If
the density of air is 1.18kgm3, determine the minimum power required to supply to the fan.
Problem 2(15p) : The engine of a truck develops 95 kW of power. Determine the acceleration time of
this truck from rest to 70milesh on a level road. (The mass of the truck is 1500 kg )
Problem 3(30p) : Determine the power required for a 1500 kg truck to climb a 250 m long uphill road
with a slope of 30 from the horizontal in 20 s (a) at constant velocity (b) from rest to a final velocity of
25ms(c) from 35ms to a final velocity of 20ms. Disregard friction, air drag, and rolling resistance.
Problem 4(40p) : A fluid at a pressure of 6 atm with a specific volume of 0.12m3kg is constrained
in a cylinder behind a piston. It is allowed to expand reversibly to a pressure of 0.9 atm according to the
law P=cV1.75, where c is a constant and V is the specific volume. Calculate the work done by the
fluid on the piston.
