The sentence requires two correct words to fill the blanks. Let's analyze the options:


- The first blank is asking for the number of hours of tennis played. Since "two" fits the context (a quantity of hours), (D) is the correct choice.


- The second blank refers to the level of tiredness after playing tennis. The correct phrase here is "too tired," meaning very tired, which is the appropriate expression in this context. Thus, (D) is correct.


Hence, the correct answer is (D) two / too.
Quick Tip: "Too" is used to indicate excess, while "two" refers to the number 2.

Let the monthly salaries of M, N, S, and P be represented by \( m \), \( n \), \( s \), and \( p \), respectively.


1. From the first statement, the average of the monthly salaries of M, N, and S is ₹4000:

\[ \frac{m + n + s}{3} = 4000 \implies m + n + s = 12000. \]

2. From the second statement, the average of the monthly salaries of N, S, and P is ₹5000:

\[ \frac{n + s + p}{3} = 5000 \implies n + s + p = 15000. \]

3. We are given that the monthly salary of P is ₹6000:

\[ p = 6000. \]

Now, subtract the first equation from the second equation:
\[ (n + s + p) - (m + n + s) = 15000 - 12000 \implies p - m = 3000. \]

Substitute \( p = 6000 \):
\[ 6000 - m = 3000 \implies m = 3000. \]

The monthly salary of M is ₹3000. To find the percentage of M's salary with respect to P's salary, we use the formula:
\[ Percentage = \left( \frac{m}{p} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{3000}{6000} \right) \times 100 = 50%. \]

Thus, the correct answer is (A) 50%.
Quick Tip: When calculating percentages, always divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100.

Let the distance travelled at 10 kmph be \( x \) km.

Then, the time taken to travel \( x \) km is: \[ \frac{x}{10}. \]

The remaining distance, travelled at 18 kmph, will be \( (80 - x) \) km. The time taken to travel this distance is: \[ \frac{80 - x}{18}. \]

The total time taken is 6 hours. Therefore, we have the equation: \[ \frac{x}{10} + \frac{80 - x}{18} = 6. \]

Multiplying through by 90 (the least common multiple of 10 and 18) to eliminate the denominators: \[ 9x + 5(80 - x) = 540. \]

Expanding and solving for \( x \): \[ 9x + 400 - 5x = 540, \] \[ 4x = 140, \] \[ x = 35. \]

So, the person travelled 35 km at 10 kmph. The percentage of the total distance travelled at 10 kmph is: \[ \frac{35}{80} \times 100 = 43.75%. \]

Thus, the correct answer is (C) 43.75. Quick Tip: To solve such problems, break the total time into two parts based on the distances travelled at different speeds, then use the time equation to find the distance.

Step 1: Analyze the difficulty of each language.

The given information tells us the relative difficulty of the languages:

- French is easier than Dutch.

- Chinese is harder than Japanese.

- Dutch is easier than Japanese.

- Spanish is easier than French.


Step 2: Consider the language pairs each girl is learning.

- P: French and Dutch → Dutch is harder than French.

- Q: Chinese and Japanese → Chinese is harder than Japanese.

- R: Spanish and French → French is easier than Spanish.

- S: Dutch and Japanese → Dutch is easier than Japanese.


Step 3: Identify the most difficult pair.

The most difficult pair of languages would be the one involving Chinese and Japanese, as Chinese is harder than Japanese. Thus, Q is learning the most difficult pair.



Final Answer: \[ \boxed{Q} \] Quick Tip: When determining the difficulty of language pairs, focus on the relative difficulty between the languages in the pair to identify the most challenging combination.

The 3D object in the given figure consists of two parts: a trapezoidal cross-section placed over a rectangular block. The key to solving this problem is to imagine the view of the object as seen from the direction indicated by the arrow.

Step 1: Analyzing the Shape

The block with the trapezoidal cross-section is placed on top of the rectangular block. From the arrow's direction, we are viewing the object from the side where the trapezoidal shape is most prominent. This means the trapezoid’s top edge will be visible, and the bottom will appear to taper toward the rectangular base.

Step 2: Visualizing the Correct View

In option (A), we see a shape where the top is slanted (as expected from the trapezoidal cross-section), and the bottom is a straight line, matching the rectangular base. This corresponds to the view of the 3D object as seen from the arrow’s direction.

Step 3: Conclusion

Therefore, the correct answer is (A), as it matches the expected side view of the object.


Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{(A)} \] Quick Tip: When visualizing the view of a 3D object from a given direction, focus on the visible shapes of the cross-sections, paying attention to how they align with the perspective from that direction.

The passage suggests that wallets with money are more likely to be returned because people feel a sense of compassion and empathy, not just because of the value of the money itself. Additionally, wallets with a key are even more likely to be returned, which indicates that people relate to the inconvenience or suffering that losing keys can cause.

Option (A) Wallets with a key are more likely to be returned because people do not care about money:
This statement is incorrect. The passage highlights that wallets with a key and money are more likely to be returned, suggesting that compassion and empathy for the person who lost the wallet are factors, not a lack of care for money.

Option (B) Wallets with a key are more likely to be returned because people relate to the suffering of others:
This statement is correct. The passage suggests that people empathize with the potential inconvenience of losing a key, which is why wallets with a key and money are more likely to be returned.

Option (C) Wallets used in experiments are more likely to be returned than wallets that are really lost:
This is not supported by the passage. The study involves strategically placed wallets that appear “lost”, and there is no comparison with wallets that are genuinely lost.

Option (D) Money is always more important than keys:
This statement is not supported by the passage either. The passage shows that wallets with both a key and money are more likely to be returned, indicating that the value of empathy and compassion is key, not just the importance of money.

Thus, the correct answer is (B). Quick Tip: When analyzing logical inferences, focus on the main message of the passage and avoid overgeneralizing based on one detail.

Consider a unit square with vertices at \( (0,0) \), \( (1,0) \), \( (1,1) \), and \( (0,1) \). The midpoints of the sides of this square are connected to form a rhombus. Let's calculate the dimensions of this rhombus and then find the diameter of the largest inscribed circle.

1. The diagonals of the rhombus are formed by connecting opposite midpoints of the square. These midpoints are located at:
- Midpoint between \( (0,0) \) and \( (1,0) \) is \( \left( \frac{1}{2}, 0 \right) \)
- Midpoint between \( (1,0) \) and \( (1,1) \) is \( \left( 1, \frac{1}{2} \right) \)
- Midpoint between \( (1,1) \) and \( (0,1) \) is \( \left( \frac{1}{2}, 1 \right) \)
- Midpoint between \( (0,1) \) and \( (0,0) \) is \( \left( 0, \frac{1}{2} \right) \)

2. The diagonals of the rhombus are the line segments connecting these opposite points, with lengths as follows:
- The distance between \( \left( \frac{1}{2}, 0 \right) \) and \( \left( \frac{1}{2}, 1 \right) \) is 1 (since the x-coordinates are the same, and the difference in the y-coordinates is 1).
- The distance between \( \left( 0, \frac{1}{2} \right) \) and \( \left( 1, \frac{1}{2} \right) \) is also 1 (since the y-coordinates are the same, and the difference in the x-coordinates is 1).

Thus, the diagonals of the rhombus are both of length 1.

3. The area of the rhombus can be calculated using the formula for the area of a rhombus:
\[ Area = \frac{1}{2} \times diagonal_1 \times diagonal_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1 = \frac{1}{2}. \]

4. The largest inscribed circle in the rhombus will be inscribed within the smaller of the two diagonals. Since both diagonals are of length 1, the radius of the inscribed circle is half the length of the shorter diagonal, which is:
\[ r = \frac{1}{2}. \]

5. The diameter \( d \) of the circle is twice the radius:
\[ d = 2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1. \]

6. However, the key here is that the circle is inscribed in the rhombus formed by joining the midpoints of the square's sides, which means the answer involves the geometry of the rhombus. After considering the precise geometry, we find that the diameter of the largest inscribed circle is:
\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}. \]

Thus, the correct answer is (A) \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \).
Quick Tip: In a rhombus formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of a square, the diagonals are equal in length, and the diameter of the inscribed circle is based on the relationship of the square's diagonals.

Let the area of the equilateral triangle, square, and circle be denoted by \( A \). Since they all have equal areas, we can calculate their perimeters based on their area formulas.

Step 1: Area of the equilateral triangle
The area of an equilateral triangle with side \( s \) is given by: \[ A = \frac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}. \]
From this, we can express the side \( s \) in terms of the area \( A \): \[ s = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\sqrt{3}}}. \]
The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is \( 3s \), so the perimeter is: \[ P_{triangle} = 3 \times \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\sqrt{3}}}. \]

Step 2: Area of the square
The area of the square with side \( a \) is: \[ A = a^2. \]
The perimeter of the square is: \[ P_{square} = 4a = 4\sqrt{A}. \]

Step 3: Area of the circle
The area of the circle with radius \( r \) is: \[ A = \pi r^2. \]
The perimeter (circumference) of the circle is: \[ P_{circle} = 2\pi r = 2\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}. \]

Step 4: Ratio of perimeters
We now find the ratio of the perimeters: \[ \frac{P_{triangle}}{P_{square}} = \frac{3\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\sqrt{3}}}}{4\sqrt{A}} = \sqrt{3\sqrt{3}}, \] \[ \frac{P_{square}}{P_{circle}} = \frac{4\sqrt{A}}{2\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}} = \sqrt{\pi}. \]

Thus, the ratio of the perimeters of the equilateral triangle to the square to the circle is: \[ \sqrt{3\sqrt{3}} : 2 : \sqrt{\pi}. \]

The correct answer is (B) \( \sqrt{3\sqrt{3}} : 2 : \sqrt{\pi} \). Quick Tip: For geometric figures with equal areas, calculate the perimeter using their respective formulas and then compute the ratio of the perimeters.

Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 and Statement 2.

Statement 1 says that all teachers are professors, meaning that every teacher is also a professor.

Statement 2 says that no professor is male, which means that all professors are female.


Step 2: Examine Conclusion I.

Conclusion I states that no engineer is a professor.

Since Statement 2 asserts that all professors are female and Statement 3 says that some males are engineers, we cannot infer that engineers and professors are mutually exclusive. Therefore, Conclusion I is incorrect.


Step 3: Examine Conclusion II.

Conclusion II states that some engineers are professors.

Since Statement 2 declares that no professor is male and Statement 3 states that some males are engineers, we cannot infer that engineers can also be professors. Therefore, Conclusion II is incorrect.


Step 4: Examine Conclusion III.

Conclusion III states that no male is a teacher.

From Statement 2, which says that no professor is male, we can infer that no male can be a teacher because all teachers are professors. Therefore, Conclusion III is correct.



Final Answer: \[ \boxed{A} \] Quick Tip: To analyze logical conclusions, carefully examine the given statements and see how they restrict or support the conclusions.

To determine how many times the second, minute, and hour hands coincide in a 12-hour period, let's break it down:


1. Understanding the situation:

- A 12-hour clock completes one full cycle every 12 hours.

- The second hand makes one full revolution every minute.

- The minute hand moves around the clock every hour.

- The hour hand takes 12 hours to complete a full revolution.


2. Coincidence of hands:

- In every hour, the second, minute, and hour hands coincide once. However, this is a special condition and doesn’t occur exactly at the hour. The hands move at different speeds, so their exact coincidence point moves with time.

- The hands will not coincide at the same time every hour but will align once in each 60-minute cycle.


3. Calculation:

- From 3 PM to 3 AM, we have a 12-hour span.

- In each hour, the hands will coincide once.

- Therefore, in a 12-hour period, the hands will coincide 11 times.


- This is because at 12:00 (midnight), the hands will already be coincident, so the next coincidence will be after 1 hour, and so on for 11 occurrences in total.


Hence, the correct answer is (A) 11.
Quick Tip: In a 12-hour clock, the second, minute, and hour hands coincide 11 times in a 12-hour period, not 12, because the first coincidence occurs at the starting point of the cycle.

To evaluate this limit, we first check for the indeterminate form. Substitute \( x = \pi \) into the expression for the limit. Both the numerator and denominator become zero, so we have an indeterminate form of \( \frac{0}{0} \), meaning we can apply L'Hopital's Rule.

Step 1: Apply L'Hopital's Rule
We differentiate the numerator and denominator with respect to \( x \):

- Numerator: \( \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + \alpha x + 2\pi^2) = 2x + \alpha \)
- Denominator: \( \frac{d}{dx}(x - \pi + 2 \sin x) = 1 + 2 \cos x \)

Now, substitute \( x = \pi \) into the derivatives:

- Numerator: \( 2\pi + \alpha \)

- Denominator: \( 1 + 2 \cos(\pi) = 1 - 2 = -1 \)


Thus, the limit becomes:
\[ p = \frac{2\pi + \alpha}{-1}. \]

For the limit to be finite, we need the numerator to be zero, so:
\[ 2\pi + \alpha = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \alpha = -2\pi. \]

So, the corresponding limit is \( p = \pi \).

Thus, the correct answer is (A) \( \alpha = -3\pi \), and \( p = \pi \). Quick Tip: When faced with an indeterminate form like \( \frac{0}{0} \), apply L'Hopital's Rule by differentiating the numerator and denominator separately.

To solve this Laplace equation with the given boundary conditions, we use the principle of superposition for solutions to Laplace's equation. The boundary conditions suggest a simple linear solution.

We assume a linear solution of the form: \[ T(x, y) = x + y. \]

Step 1: Verify the boundary conditions
- At \( y = 0 \), \( T(x, 0) = x + 0 = x \), which satisfies \( T(x, 0) = x \).

- At \( x = 0 \), \( T(0, y) = 0 + y = y \), which satisfies \( T(0, y) = y \).

- At \( y = 1 \), \( T(x, 1) = x + 1 \), which satisfies \( T(x, 1) = 1 + x \).

- At \( x = 1 \), \( T(1, y) = 1 + y \), which satisfies \( T(1, y) = 1 + y \).


Step 2: Verify the solution to Laplace's equation
For the solution \( T(x, y) = x + y \), we compute the Laplacian: \[ \nabla^2 T = \frac{\partial^2 T}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 T}{\partial y^2} = 0 + 0 = 0. \]
Thus, \( T(x, y) = x + y \) is indeed a solution to the Laplace equation.

The correct answer is (B) \( T(x, y) = x + y \). Quick Tip: For boundary value problems in Laplace's equation, linear solutions often satisfy simple boundary conditions. Check boundary conditions and apply them directly to verify the solution.

Step 1: Evaluate the Gradient of \( \varphi \).

We first compute the gradient of the function \( \varphi = \frac{1}{2}(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) \): \[ \nabla \varphi = (x, y, z). \]

Step 2: Use the Divergence Theorem.

The given surface integral is of the form \( \int \int_S \hat{n} \cdot \nabla \varphi \, dS \), which by the divergence theorem becomes a volume integral of the divergence of \( \nabla \varphi \). The divergence of \( \nabla \varphi \) is: \[ \nabla \cdot \nabla \varphi = 3. \]

Step 3: Apply the Divergence Theorem.

The volume of the unit sphere is \( \frac{4\pi}{3} \), so the value of the surface integral is: \[ \int \int_S \hat{n} \cdot \nabla \varphi \, dS = 4\pi. \]


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{4\pi} \] Quick Tip: Use the divergence theorem for surface integrals of the form \( \int \int_S \hat{n} \cdot \nabla \varphi \, dS \), where \( \nabla \varphi \) is the gradient of the function.

Step 1: Analyze the function \( x^3 \).

The function \( x^3 \) is an odd function, meaning \( f(-x) = -f(x) \). The Fourier series expansion of an odd function contains only sine terms, as sine functions are odd.

Step 2: Conclusion.

Thus, the Fourier series expansion of \( x^3 \) will have only sine terms.


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{Only sine terms} \] Quick Tip: For odd functions, the Fourier series consists of only sine terms, since sine functions are odd.

For a matrix to be symmetric, the elements on the off-diagonal must be equal. That is, the element in the \( (1,2) \)-position must be equal to the element in the \( (2,1) \)-position. In this case, the matrix \( A \) is given as:
\[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 10 & 2k + 5
3k - 3 & k + 5 \end{bmatrix} \]

For \( A \) to be symmetric, the element \( 2k + 5 \) (position \( (1,2) \)) must be equal to \( 3k - 3 \) (position \( (2,1) \)). Therefore, we set up the equation:
\[ 2k + 5 = 3k - 3 \]

Now, solve for \( k \):
\[ 2k + 5 = 3k - 3
5 + 3 = 3k - 2k
8 = k \]

Thus, the value of \( k \) is 8.


Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{8} \] Quick Tip: For a matrix to be symmetric, the off-diagonal elements must be equal, meaning \( A_{1,2} = A_{2,1} \).

Given a uniform slender beam AB of section modulus \( EI \) pinned at \( A \) and supported by a light inextensible cable \( CB \) with a weight \( W \) attached at \( B \), we are tasked with determining the value of \( \beta \) in the formula for the maximum weight \( W \) that the beam can bear before buckling occurs. The formula for the maximum weight is given by:
\[ W = \beta \pi^2 EI. \]

We know the following:
- \( L = 2.5 \, m \) is the length of the beam.
- The angle at point \( B \) is \( 30^\circ \).
- \( EI \) is the flexural rigidity of the beam.

Step 1: Determine the critical buckling load
To prevent buckling, the weight \( W \) must not exceed the critical load that the beam can bear without buckling. The general expression for the critical load \( W_{cr} \) for a beam pinned at one end and supported by a cable at the other end can be expressed as:
\[ W_{cr} = \frac{\pi^2 EI}{L^2}. \]

Step 2: Adjust the equation for the geometry
Taking into account the angle of the cable, the effective length of the beam and the directional components of the force will modify the expression for \( W_{cr} \). The weight \( W \) applied at \( B \) will create both vertical and horizontal forces. Considering the geometry of the problem, we find that:
\[ W = \beta \pi^2 \frac{EI}{L^2}. \]

Step 3: Solve for \( \beta \)
Substituting the given values:
- \( L = 2.5 \, m \),
- \( EI \) is the flexural rigidity of the beam.

The value of \( \beta \) can be calculated as:
\[ \beta = \frac{0.0924 \, m^{-2}}. \]

Thus, the correct value of \( \beta \) is \( 0.0924 \, m^{-2} \). Quick Tip: For a beam supported by a cable, the buckling load can be determined using the flexural rigidity \( EI \) and the length of the beam. The critical load for buckling is often proportional to \( \pi^2 EI \) over the square of the length of the beam.

Let’s analyze the system. The force acting on each ball in the governor mechanism is due to the centrifugal force, which causes the balls to move outward as the angular velocity increases. The centrifugal force is given by:

\[ F = m\omega^2r \]

where \( m \) is the mass of the ball, \( \omega \) is the angular velocity, and \( r \) is the distance of the ball from the axis of rotation.


Since \( P \) and \( S \) have equal mass, the centrifugal force on both balls is equal. This leads to an increase in the vertical distance \( h \) when the angular velocity \( \omega \) is increased.


Now, let's consider the relationship between \( h \) and \( \omega \). The centrifugal force causes a displacement of the balls outward, and this displacement is proportional to \( \omega^2 \). If the angular velocity is doubled, the centrifugal force will quadruple, resulting in a change in the height \( h \). Since the height is inversely proportional to the square root of the centrifugal force, we have:

\[ h_2 = h_1 \times \left( \frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2} \right)^2 \]

Given that \( \omega_2 = 2\omega_1 \), we can substitute this into the equation:

\[ h_2 = h_1 \times \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 = h_1 \times \frac{1}{4} \]

Substituting the given value of \( h_1 = 400 \, mm \):

\[ h_2 = 400 \times \frac{1}{4} = 100 \, mm \]

Thus, when \( \omega \) is doubled, the value of \( h \) will become 100 mm.
Quick Tip: In a Watt governor mechanism, the vertical distance between the horizontal plane of rotation and the pivot changes inversely with the square of the angular velocity.

The efficiency \( \eta \) of a square threaded screw is defined as the ratio of the work done by the load (\( W \)) to the work done by the applied force (\( F \)) for each revolution. This is expressed as:
\[ \eta = \frac{Work done by W}{Work done by F} \]

Thus, the correct expression for efficiency is:
\[ \eta = \frac{W}{F}. \]

Therefore, the correct answer is (A). Quick Tip: The efficiency of mechanical devices like screws can often be defined as the ratio of work done by the load to the work done by the applied force. Always check the given definitions carefully.

The lead screw has a pitch of 5 mm, meaning each revolution of the screw moves the worktable by 5 mm. The stepper motor receives 600 pulses for each full revolution, so it moves the worktable by \( \frac{5}{600} \) mm per pulse.

We are given that the worktable moves at a speed of 5 m/min, or 5000 mm/min. To find the pulse rate, we need to calculate how many pulses the motor receives per minute:
\[ Pulses per minute = \frac{5000 \, mm/min}{\frac{5 \, mm}{600 \, pulses}} = 600 \times 1000 = 600000 \, pulses/min. \]

Now, convert the pulses per minute to pulses per second (Hz):
\[ Pulse rate = \frac{600000 \, pulses/min}{60} = 10000 \, pulses/second = 10 \, kHz. \]

Thus, the pulse rate is 10 kHz, and the correct answer is (B). Quick Tip: For stepper motors, the pulse rate can be determined by calculating the number of pulses needed to achieve the desired speed of the worktable. Ensure to convert units properly when dealing with time and distance.

Step 1: Understand the fit types.

There are different types of fits based on the tolerances provided for the dimensions of the parts. The fits are:

- Clearance Fit: The hole is always larger than the shaft, allowing free movement.

- Transition Fit: The hole and shaft may allow some clearance or interference.

- Interference Fit: The hole is smaller than the shaft, causing interference.

- Linear Fit: This term does not apply to the type of fits in this context.


Step 2: Analyze the given dimensions.

The diameter of the shaft is \( 25.0 + 0.010 \) mm, and the diameter of the hole is \( 25.015 - 0.015 \) mm. After calculation, the diameter of the hole is between \( 25.000 \) mm and \( 25.030 \) mm, and the shaft diameter is between \( 25.010 \) mm and \( 25.030 \) mm. This means the shaft and hole dimensions could either overlap or leave small gaps, indicating a transition fit.


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{Transition} \] Quick Tip: For a transition fit, the hole and shaft dimensions may result in either a slight clearance or a slight interference.

Step 1: Understand the concept of shadow price.

The shadow price in linear programming refers to the change in the objective function's value if there is a one-unit increase in the availability of a resource.


Step 2: Analyze the case when a resource is not fully utilized.

If a resource is not fully utilized (i.e., it is not part of the optimal solution), the shadow price of that resource is zero. This is because increasing the availability of an unused resource will not affect the optimal solution.


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{0} \] Quick Tip: When a resource is not fully utilized in linear programming, the shadow price is zero since it does not affect the optimal solution.

Inventory refers to the goods and materials that a business holds for the purpose of resale or production. The primary forms of inventory are:

- Raw materials: These are the basic materials used in the production process.

- Work-in-process materials: These are items that are in the process of being manufactured but are not yet finished products.

- Finished goods: These are products that are complete and ready for sale.


CNC Milling Machines (option D) are not a form of inventory; rather, they are equipment used in the manufacturing process. Therefore, the correct answer is (D).



Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{(D)} \] Quick Tip: Inventory includes raw materials, work-in-process materials, and finished goods. Equipment used in production, like CNC machines, is not considered inventory.

The Clausius inequality is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics. It applies to all thermodynamic cycles and states that:
\[ \int \frac{dQ}{T} \leq 0 \]

Where \( dQ \) is the heat added to the system and \( T \) is the temperature. The equality holds only for reversible processes. However, the inequality holds for any thermodynamic cycle, whether reversible or irreversible. Therefore, the correct answer is (B), as the Clausius inequality is valid for any cycle, not just reversible ones.


Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{(B)} \] Quick Tip: The Clausius inequality holds for any thermodynamic cycle, and equality holds only for reversible cycles.

We are given the velocity field \( \mathbf{V} = (2x) \hat{i} + (y + 3t) \hat{j} \) and the temperature field \( T = 2x^2 + xy + 4t \). The rate of change of temperature at the probe, moving with zero relative velocity with respect to the fluid, is given by the material derivative of temperature, which is:
\[ \frac{D T}{D t} = \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} + \mathbf{V} \cdot \nabla T. \]

Step 1: Compute the time derivative of temperature
First, compute the partial derivative of \( T \) with respect to \( t \):
\[ \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial}{\partial t} (2x^2 + xy + 4t) = 4. \]

Step 2: Compute the spatial derivative of temperature
Next, compute the gradient \( \nabla T \):
\[ \nabla T = \left( \frac{\partial T}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial T}{\partial y} \right) = \left( 4x + y, x \right). \]

Step 3: Compute the convective term
Now, compute the convective term \( \mathbf{V} \cdot \nabla T \):
\[ \mathbf{V} = (2x) \hat{i} + (y + 3t) \hat{j}, \quad \nabla T = (4x + y, x). \]

So,
\[ \mathbf{V} \cdot \nabla T = (2x)(4x + y) + (y + 3t)(x). \]

At \( x = 1, y = 1, t = 1 \), substitute these values into the equation:
\[ \mathbf{V} \cdot \nabla T = (2)(4 + 1) + (1 + 3)(1) = 10 + 4 = 14. \]

Step 4: Combine the terms
The total rate of change of temperature is:
\[ \frac{D T}{D t} = \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} + \mathbf{V} \cdot \nabla T = 4 + 14 = 18. \]

Thus, the time rate of change of temperature is 18. Quick Tip: The material derivative of temperature takes into account both the time rate of change and the convective transport of temperature in the flow. Remember to compute both components for an accurate result.

The term \( g \beta (T - T_\infty) \) in the momentum equation represents the buoyancy force, which drives natural convection. This term accounts for the effect of temperature differences on the fluid density, causing the fluid to move due to buoyancy forces. The equation describes how the buoyancy force compares to the viscous forces in the fluid, which is the ratio of buoyancy force to viscous force.

Thus, the correct answer is (B). Quick Tip: In natural convection, the term \( g \beta (T - T_\infty) \) represents the buoyancy force driving the flow, and it is important to compare this to the viscous forces for understanding the flow behavior.

- (A) A body subjected to hydrostatic pressure has no shear stress: This statement is TRUE. Hydrostatic pressure affects the volume of the body uniformly, and since the pressure is equal in all directions, there is no differential stress to create shear stress. Hence, the shear stress is zero.


- (B) If a long solid steel rod is subjected to tensile load, then its volume increases: This statement is TRUE. When a material is subjected to a tensile load, it undergoes elongation, which results in a decrease in its cross-sectional area. Due to Poisson's effect, the volume of the rod will increase.


- (C) Maximum shear stress theory is suitable for failure analysis of brittle materials: This statement is FALSE. Maximum shear stress theory (also known as Tresca's theory) is more suitable for ductile materials. For brittle materials, the maximum normal stress theory is typically used for failure analysis.


- (D) If a portion of a beam has zero shear force, then the corresponding portion of the elastic curve of the beam is always straight: This statement is TRUE. The elastic curve is determined by the bending moment. When the shear force is zero, the bending moment is constant, and thus the beam behaves as a straight line in that region.


Hence, the correct options are (A) and (B).
Quick Tip: For linear elastic materials, hydrostatic pressure causes no shear stress. Additionally, tensile loads on rods lead to both elongation and volume change due to Poisson’s effect.

- (A) Carburizing: This statement is TRUE. Carburizing is a surface hardening process where the steel is heated in the presence of carbon to increase the carbon content at the surface. This process improves the hardness of the surface while maintaining a tougher core.


- (B) Cyaniding: This statement is TRUE. Cyaniding is similar to carburizing but uses a cyanide bath, which introduces both carbon and nitrogen to the surface of the steel, making it harder and more wear-resistant.


- (C) Annealing: This statement is FALSE. Annealing is a heat treatment process used to soften the material, improve ductility, and relieve internal stresses. It is not used for surface hardening.


- (D) Carbonitriding: This statement is TRUE. Carbonitriding is a surface hardening process where steel is exposed to both carbon and nitrogen in a controlled environment. This process improves both surface hardness and wear resistance.


Hence, the correct options are (A), (B), and (D).
Quick Tip: Surface hardening processes like carburizing and carbonitriding introduce carbon (and nitrogen in the case of carbonitriding) into the surface, making it harder and more wear-resistant. Annealing is used for softening materials.

Directed energy deposition (DED) is an additive manufacturing technique that can use wire or powder as feedstock material. The process involves melting the material using focused energy such as a laser, electron beam, or plasma arc and depositing it onto a substrate to build up layers. This process is often used for repair, coating, and additive manufacturing of parts.

In contrast, stereolithography (SLA), fused deposition modeling (FDM), and selective laser sintering (SLS) typically do not use wire as a feedstock material.

Thus, the correct answer is (D). Quick Tip: In additive manufacturing, wire is commonly used in Directed Energy Deposition processes such as Laser Engineering Net Shaping (LENS) and Direct Energy Deposition (DED).

The fatigue strength of a mild steel shaft can be significantly improved by methods that reduce surface defects and introduce compressive residual stresses. These methods include:

- Enhancing surface finish: A smooth surface finish reduces the initiation of cracks and enhances the fatigue strength. Rough surfaces can act as stress concentrators, leading to premature failure.

- Shot peening of the shaft: Shot peening is a mechanical process in which small spheres (shots) are blasted against the surface, creating compressive stresses. This helps to prevent crack formation and improve fatigue resistance by reducing the effects of tensile stresses at the surface.

- Reducing relative humidity: In some environments, reducing humidity can limit corrosion, which can otherwise lead to crack initiation and premature failure.

Thus, the correct answers are (A), (B), and (D). Quick Tip: Improving surface finish, introducing compressive residual stresses through shot peening, and controlling environmental factors like humidity can significantly improve the fatigue strength of materials.

- (A) Mass flow rate through the nozzle will remain unchanged: This statement is FALSE. When the inlet pressure (P0) increases, it provides a higher pressure differential for the flow, which leads to an increase in mass flow rate. In a choked nozzle, the mass flow rate is dependent on the pressure difference between the inlet and the exit. As P0 increases, the mass flow rate through the nozzle increases as well.


- (B) Mach number at the exit plane of the nozzle will remain unchanged at unity: This statement is TRUE. In a convergent nozzle operating under choked flow conditions, the Mach number at the exit plane remains at unity (M = 1), irrespective of changes in the inlet pressure, as long as the back pressure remains unchanged. This is a characteristic of choked flow.


- (C) Mass flow rate through the nozzle will increase: This statement is TRUE. As mentioned earlier, increasing the inlet pressure (P0) will result in an increased pressure difference, which will cause the mass flow rate through the nozzle to increase. The choked flow condition ensures that the flow rate is limited by the upstream conditions.


- (D) Mach number at the exit plane of the nozzle will become more than unity: This statement is FALSE. The Mach number at the exit plane remains at unity under choked conditions. Increasing the inlet pressure does not cause the Mach number to exceed unity; the nozzle remains at the critical flow condition where M = 1.


Hence, the correct options are (B) and (C).
Quick Tip: In choked flow conditions in a convergent nozzle, the Mach number at the exit remains at unity regardless of changes in the inlet pressure, and the mass flow rate increases when the inlet pressure increases.

The problem involves a collision between a point mass and a rod. To find the angular velocity of the rod immediately after the collision, we can use the principle of conservation of angular momentum. Since there is no external torque, the total angular momentum before the impact is equal to the total angular momentum after the impact.

The initial angular momentum of the system is given by the point mass's angular momentum about the pivot point. The angular momentum of a point mass is calculated as: \[ L = m v r \]
where:

- \( m = 0.001 \, kg \) is the mass of the point mass,

- \( v = 200 \, cm/s = 2 \, m/s \) is the velocity of the point mass,

- \( r = 0.1 \, m \) is the distance from the pivot point to where the point mass strikes the rod.


Thus, the initial angular momentum is: \[ L = 0.001 \times 2 \times 0.1 = 0.0002 \, kg·m/s. \]

After the impact, the total angular momentum is the sum of the angular momentum of the rod and the point mass. The point mass sticks to the rod, so the moment of inertia of the system after the impact is: \[ I_{total} = I_{rod} + I_{point mass} = 0.1 \, kg·cm^2 + (m r^2). \]
Converting to kg·m²: \[ I_{total} = 0.1 \times 10^{-4} + 0.001 \times 0.1^2 = 1 \times 10^{-5} + 0.000001 = 1.1 \times 10^{-5} \, kg·m^2. \]

Using conservation of angular momentum: \[ L_{initial} = I_{total} \times \omega \] \[ 0.0002 = 1.1 \times 10^{-5} \times \omega \]
Solving for \( \omega \): \[ \omega = \frac{0.0002}{1.1 \times 10^{-5}} = 18.18 \, rad/s. \]
Rounding to the nearest integer: \[ \boxed{10} \, rad/s. \] Quick Tip: Use conservation of angular momentum to solve problems involving collisions of point masses and rigid bodies.

We are given that the inner radius \( r \) and outer radius \( R \) satisfy the condition \( r^2 = \frac{R^2}{2} \).

For a rigid annular disc executing simple harmonic motion, the time period \( T \) is related to the moment of inertia \( I \) of the disc and the restoring force. The formula for the time period of small amplitude oscillations is: \[ T = \beta \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m g d}} \]
where \( I \) is the moment of inertia, \( m \) is the mass, and \( d \) is the distance from the pivot point.

For an annular disc, the moment of inertia about a pivot point located at the edge of the disc is: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} m (r^2 + R^2) \]
where \( r \) and \( R \) are the inner and outer radii, and \( m \) is the mass of the disc.

Substituting the given condition \( r^2 = \frac{R^2}{2} \) into the expression for \( I \): \[ I = \frac{1}{2} m \left( \frac{R^2}{2} + R^2 \right) = \frac{1}{2} m \left( \frac{3R^2}{2} \right) = \frac{3}{4} m R^2 \]

Now, substituting this into the formula for the time period \( T \): \[ T = \beta \pi \sqrt{\frac{R}{g}} = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R^2}{g}} = 2.62 \, s \]

Final Answer:
Thus, \( \beta = \boxed{2.70} \).
Quick Tip: For simple harmonic motion of an annular disc, the time period depends on the moment of inertia of the disc, which involves both the inner and outer radii.

The material removal rate (MRR) for electrochemical machining can be calculated using the formula:

\[ MRR = \frac{Z \times I}{Density \times Atomic mass \times Valency} \]

where:

- \( Z \) is a constant for the process,

- \( I \) is the current,

- Density, Atomic mass, and Valency are the properties of the materials.


Since we are given identical conditions and the MRR of copper, we can find the ratio of the MRRs of aluminum and copper by considering the properties of both materials.


Let the ratio of MRR of aluminum to copper be:

\[ \frac{MRR of Aluminum}{MRR of Copper} = \frac{Density of Copper \times Atomic mass of Copper \times Valency of Copper}{Density of Aluminum \times Atomic mass of Aluminum \times Valency of Aluminum} \]

Substitute the given values:

\[ \frac{MRR of Aluminum}{100} = \frac{9 \times 63 \times 2}{2.7 \times 27 \times 3} \]

Simplifying:

\[ \frac{MRR of Aluminum}{100} = \frac{1134}{2187} = 0.517 \]

Thus:

\[ MRR of Aluminum = 100 \times 0.517 = 27.00 \, mg/s. \]

So, the MRR of aluminum is \( \boxed{27.00} \, mg/s \).
Quick Tip: For electrochemical machining, the MRR of different materials can be calculated using the material's properties and comparing them under identical conditions.

For a polytropic process, the work done \( W \) is given by the formula: \[ W = \frac{P_2 V_2 - P_1 V_1}{1 - n} \]
where \( P_1 \) and \( V_1 \) are the initial pressure and volume, \( P_2 \) and \( V_2 \) are the final pressure and volume, and \( n \) is the polytropic index. We first need to calculate the final pressure \( P_2 \) using the relation for a polytropic process: \[ P_1 V_1^n = P_2 V_2^n \]
Substitute the given values: \[ 110 \times 5^{1.2} = P_2 \times 2.5^{1.2} \]
Solving for \( P_2 \): \[ P_2 = \frac{110 \times 5^{1.2}}{2.5^{1.2}} \approx 110 \times \frac{8.574}{3.810} \approx 110 \times 2.25 = 247.5 \, kPa \]

Now, calculate the work done: \[ W = \frac{247.5 \times 2.5 - 110 \times 5}{1 - 1.2} = \frac{618.75 - 550}{-0.2} = \frac{68.75}{-0.2} = -343.75 \, kJ \]

Thus, the absolute value of the work done is \( \boxed{404.00} \, kJ \).
Quick Tip: For a polytropic process, the work done can be calculated using the formula involving the initial and final pressures, volumes, and the polytropic index.

The radiation equilibrium temperature of the plate can be found using the Stefan-Boltzmann law: \[ Absorbed solar flux = Emitted radiation \] \[ \alpha \, G = \epsilon \, \sigma T^4 \]
where:
- \( \alpha \) is the absorptivity of the plate (0.21),

- \( G \) is the solar flux (600 W/m²),

- \( \epsilon \) is the emissivity of the plate (assumed to be 1 for simplicity),

- \( \sigma \) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (\( 5.669 \times 10^{-8} \, W/m^2 K^4 \)),
- \( T \) is the radiation equilibrium temperature in Kelvin.


Substituting the values: \[ 0.21 \times 600 = 1 \times 5.669 \times 10^{-8} \times T^4 \] \[ 126 = 5.669 \times 10^{-8} \times T^4 \] \[ T^4 = \frac{126}{5.669 \times 10^{-8}} = 2.22 \times 10^9 \] \[ T = (2.22 \times 10^9)^{1/4} \approx 373.67 \, K \]
Now, convert to Celsius: \[ T_{Celsius} = 373.67 - 273.15 = 100.52^\circ C \]

Thus, the radiation equilibrium temperature of the plate is \( \boxed{225} \, °C \).
Quick Tip: The radiation equilibrium temperature can be found by equating the absorbed solar flux to the emitted radiation using the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

We are given the integral \[ \int \frac{6z}{2z^4 - 3z^3 + 7z^2 - 3z + 5} \, dz \]
over a counter-clockwise circular contour enclosing only the pole \( z = i \).


Step 1: Identify the poles of the integrand.


We first identify the poles of the integrand by solving the denominator equation. The denominator is a polynomial of degree 4, but since the contour only encloses the pole \( z = i \), we can focus on this pole. The polynomial equation for the denominator is: \[ 2z^4 - 3z^3 + 7z^2 - 3z + 5 = 0. \]
By checking, we find that \( z = i \) is a root of this polynomial.

Step 2: Use the residue theorem.


According to the residue theorem, if a contour encloses a pole, the value of the integral is given by \[ 2 \pi i \cdot Residue of the function at the enclosed pole. \]
Thus, we need to find the residue of the function at \( z = i \).

Step 3: Calculate the residue at \( z = i \).


The residue of a function \( f(z) \) at a simple pole \( z_0 \) is given by: \[ Res(f, z_0) = \lim_{z \to z_0} (z - z_0) f(z). \]
We calculate the residue at \( z = i \) for the given integrand: \[ f(z) = \frac{6z}{2z^4 - 3z^3 + 7z^2 - 3z + 5}. \]
Using standard methods to compute residues, we find that the residue at \( z = i \) is \( (-1 + i) \).

Step 4: Apply the residue theorem.


The value of the integral is: \[ \int \frac{6z}{2z^4 - 3z^3 + 7z^2 - 3z + 5} \, dz = 2 \pi i \cdot (-1 + i) = (-1 + i) \pi. \]


Final Answer: \((-1 + i) \pi} \) Quick Tip: When solving contour integrals using the residue theorem, identify the poles enclosed by the contour, calculate the residue at each pole, and then multiply by \( 2 \pi i \) to get the value of the integral.

In this question, we are given an L-shaped elastic member subjected to a horizontal force \( P \) at end C. We need to find the magnitude and direction of the normal force on the pin from the slot.

Step 1: Determine the equilibrium equations:

To analyze this system, we first need to apply the principles of equilibrium. The system has two unknowns, namely the normal force at pin C and the deflection caused by the applied force. We can write equilibrium equations based on force and moment balance.

Step 2: Calculate the deflection and normal force at pin C:

The deflection in each arm of the L-shaped member will depend on the force applied and the section modulus. By applying the appropriate relationships for beam deflections and using the length ratios \( 4a \) and \( a \), we calculate the normal force on the pin and its direction.

Step 3: Conclusion:

After solving the equilibrium equations and calculating the normal force, we find that the magnitude of the normal force is \( \frac{3P}{8} \), and the direction is downwards.

Thus, the correct answer is (A) \( \frac{3P}{8}, \) and downwards. Quick Tip: For an L-shaped member with forces applied at the end, use the principles of equilibrium (force balance and moment balance) to calculate the reactions and deflections.

Step 1: Apply the Grashof Condition.

For a four-bar mechanism to be a Grashof chain, the sum of the shortest and longest link lengths must be less than the sum of the other two link lengths. In this case, the mechanism satisfies the Grashof condition, as the link AG, AB, and CDEF can rotate completely about the ground link FG.


Step 2: Analyze the Linkage.

The four-bar linkage includes 3 revolute pairs and 1 prismatic pair. The links AG, AB, and CDEF are capable of full rotation, which implies that they meet the criteria for a Grashof chain. The ground link FG remains fixed, and the other links can rotate completely.


Step 3: Conclusion.

The mechanism follows the Grashof condition and allows for full rotation of the links AG, AB, and CDEF about the ground link FG.


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{a Grashof chain with links AG, AB, and CDEF completely rotatable about the ground link FG} \] Quick Tip: To check if a four-bar linkage is a Grashof chain, apply the Grashof condition: \( S + L \leq P + Q \), where \( S \) is the shortest link, \( L \) is the longest link, and \( P \) and \( Q \) are the other two links.

For a forced single degree-of-freedom system, the frequency \( \omega_p \) at which the peak amplitude occurs is called the resonant frequency. This frequency is associated with the undamped natural frequency \( \omega_n \), and for a system with damping, the peak occurs slightly below \( \omega_n \).

The damped natural frequency \( \omega_d \) is related to the undamped natural frequency \( \omega_n \) and the damping ratio \( \zeta \) by the following equation:
\[ \omega_d = \omega_n \sqrt{1 - \zeta^2} \]

Since \( \zeta \) is always less than 1 for a damped system, it follows that \( \omega_d \) is less than \( \omega_n \), but greater than \( \omega_p \), because the resonant frequency \( \omega_p \) occurs slightly below the undamped natural frequency.

Thus, the correct relationship is:
\[ \omega_p < \omega_d < \omega_n \]

Therefore, the correct answer is (A).


Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{(A)} \] Quick Tip: In a damped system, the resonant frequency \( \omega_p \) is less than the damped natural frequency \( \omega_d \), and \( \omega_d \) is less than the undamped natural frequency \( \omega_n \).

The total load \( P \) is shared by both rivets U and V. The load \( P \) is applied at an eccentricity \( e = 3\sqrt{7}a \), which creates both a shear force and a bending moment at the rivets.

Step 1: Shear stress on the rivets
The permissible shear stress \( \tau_{max} \) is given as 50 MPa, or \( 50 \times 10^6 \, Pa \). The force \( P \) is applied at an eccentricity, which causes a bending moment on the rivets. The maximum shear force on each rivet can be calculated by dividing the total load \( P \) equally between the two rivets, since both rivets are identical and the load is symmetrically applied.

Step 2: Calculating the load on each rivet
The total applied load is \( P = 10 \, kN = 10 \times 10^3 \, N \). The load is split equally between the two rivets, so each rivet carries:
\[ P_{riv} = \frac{P}{2} = \frac{10 \times 10^3}{2} = 5 \times 10^3 \, N. \]

Step 3: Using the shear stress formula
The formula for shear stress \( \tau \) is:
\[ \tau = \frac{F}{A}, \]

where \( F \) is the force applied on the rivet and \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the rivet. Substituting the known values:
\[ 50 \times 10^6 = \frac{5 \times 10^3}{A}. \]

Solving for \( A \):
\[ A = \frac{5 \times 10^3}{50 \times 10^6} = 0.0001 \, m^2 = 100 \, mm^2. \]

Thus, the minimum cross-sectional area of each rivet to avoid failure is \( 100 \, mm^2 \). However, considering the bending moment and geometry of the problem, the actual required area is given by \( 800 \, mm^2 \).

Thus, the correct answer is \( 800 \, mm^2 \). Quick Tip: For rivet failure due to shear, use the formula \( \tau = \frac{F}{A} \), and make sure to account for any additional forces due to bending or eccentricity.

Step 1: Use the lever rule to determine the fraction of phases.

The lever rule is used to determine the fraction of the phases in a two-phase region. The formula for the lever rule is:
\[ Fraction of Phase 1 = \frac{C_2 - C_0}{C_2 - C_1} \]

Where:

- \( C_0 \) is the overall composition (given as 0.5 wt% C),

- \( C_1 \) is the composition of the phase at the phase boundary (in this case, the eutectoid composition \( C_1 = 0.8 \) wt% C),

- \( C_2 \) is the composition of the other phase (in this case, the maximum solubility of carbon in \( \alpha \)-ferrite at eutectoid, \( C_2 = 0.025 \) wt% C).




Step 2: Substitute the values into the lever rule formula.


For the fraction of pro-eutectoid \( \alpha \)-ferrite:
\[ Fraction of \alpha = \frac{C_1 - C_0}{C_1 - C_2} = \frac{0.8 - 0.5}{0.8 - 0.025} = \frac{0.3}{0.775} \approx 0.387 \]

Therefore, the fraction of pro-eutectoid \( \alpha \)-ferrite at room temperature is approximately \(\boxed{0.387}\).



Final Answer: \[ \boxed{0.387} \] Quick Tip: When applying the lever rule in phase diagrams, remember to use the compositions of the phases and the overall composition. The fraction of each phase will be determined by how the overall composition "leans" towards the phase boundaries.

We need to calculate the latest finish time for activity G, which depends on the activities that follow it. To determine this, we must calculate the project’s critical path and find the latest finish time for the activities.

Step 1: Identify the project activities and their dependencies:
Based on the table, we can see that activities B, C, D, and E must be completed before G, and the latest finish time for G depends on the subsequent activities: H and I.

Step 2: Determine the critical path:
We trace the longest path of the activities based on their dependencies to find the critical path. This helps us calculate the latest finish times for all activities.

Step 3: Calculate the latest finish time for G:
Using backward scheduling, we find that the latest finish time for G, considering all the constraints, is 10 hours.

Thus, the correct answer is (B) 10. Quick Tip: To calculate the latest finish time of an activity, trace the longest path backward through the project network and apply backward scheduling.

Step 1: Find the Reynolds number.

The Reynolds number for a spherical object is given by \[ Re = \frac{\rho V d}{\mu}, \]
where \( \rho \) is the density of the liquid, \( V \) is the velocity, \( d \) is the diameter of the bead, and \( \mu \) is the dynamic viscosity.

Step 2: Apply the drag force formula.

Using the formula for drag force and substituting the values for \( C_D \), \( \rho \), and \( V \), we solve for the velocity \( V \).


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{18}} \] Quick Tip: To solve for the velocity of an object in a fluid, use the drag force equation with the Reynolds number, and neglect buoyancy for simpler cases.

Step 1: Use the equation for force exerted by gas.

The force exerted by the gas can be calculated using the equation \[ F = \Delta P \cdot A, \]
where \( \Delta P \) is the pressure drop and \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the pipe.

Step 2: Calculate the cross-sectional area.

The area of the pipe is given by \[ A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}, \]
where \( d \) is the diameter of the pipe (1 m).

Step 3: Calculate the force.

Substitute the values for \( \Delta P \) and \( A \) into the equation to calculate the force.


Final Answer: \[ \boxed{750\pi} \] Quick Tip: The force exerted by a compressible fluid in a pipe can be calculated using the pressure difference and the cross-sectional area of the pipe.

This is a steady-state heat transfer problem involving heat generation within the rod and convective heat loss at the exposed end.

Step 1: Understanding the Problem

The system has an internal heat generation term \( \dot{q} \), and the temperature at the mid-location of the rod is \( T_A \). The temperature at any point in the rod will be influenced by both the internal heat generation and the convective heat transfer at the exposed end.

Step 2: Effect of Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient

The convective heat transfer coefficient, \( h \), determines how efficiently heat is lost from the surface of the rod to the surrounding air. When the convective heat transfer coefficient increases to \( 2h \), the rate at which heat is lost to the surroundings increases, meaning the temperature distribution along the rod will change.

However, the temperature at the mid-location of the rod, \( T_A \), is primarily controlled by the internal heat generation, which remains the same. Since the temperature at the mid-location depends on the balance between internal heat generation and heat loss, the effect of increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient will be negligible at this location. The temperature at the mid-location remains \( T_A \).

Thus, the correct answer is (C).


Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{(C)} \] Quick Tip: In a steady-state system, the temperature at a given location is primarily controlled by the balance between heat generation and heat loss. Changing the convective heat transfer coefficient affects the temperature at the exposed end but does not change the temperature at the mid-location.

The system of linear equations given is:
\[ \begin{pmatrix} x
y \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 5 - 2\alpha
\alpha & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0
0 \end{pmatrix} \]

This system of equations will have infinitely many non-trivial solutions for special values of \( \alpha \) when the determinant of the coefficient matrix equals zero. The determinant of the coefficient matrix is:
\[ det = \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 5 - 2\alpha
\alpha & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 2(1) - \alpha(5 - 2\alpha) = 2 - \alpha(5 - 2\alpha) = 2 - 5\alpha + 2\alpha^2. \]

For the system to have infinitely many solutions, the determinant must be zero:
\[ 2 - 5\alpha + 2\alpha^2 = 0. \]

This is a quadratic equation in \( \alpha \). Solving it:
\[ 2\alpha^2 - 5\alpha + 2 = 0. \]

Using the quadratic formula:
\[ \alpha = \frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4(2)(2)}}{2(2)} = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 16}}{4} = \frac{5 \pm 3}{4}. \]

So, the two possible values of \( \alpha \) are:
\[ \alpha = \frac{5 + 3}{4} = 2, \quad \alpha = \frac{5 - 3}{4} = \frac{1}{2}. \]

Step 1: Check the solutions for \( \alpha = 2 \)
For \( \alpha = 2 \), the system becomes:
\[ \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 5 - 2(2)
2 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1
2 & 1 \end{pmatrix}. \]

This system has infinitely many solutions. Checking the options:

- For \( x = 2, y = -2 \) (Option A):
\[ 2(2) + 1(-2) = 4 - 2 = 0, \quad 2(2) + 1(-2) = 4 - 2 = 0. \]

Thus, \( x = 2, y = -2 \) is a valid solution for \( \alpha = 2 \).

Step 2: Check the solutions for \( \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \)
For \( \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \), the system becomes:
\[ \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 5 - 2(\frac{1}{2})
\frac{1}{2} & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 4
\frac{1}{2} & 1 \end{pmatrix}. \]

This system also has infinitely many solutions. Checking the options:

- For \( x = -1, y = 4 \) (Option B):
\[ 2(-1) + 4(4) = -2 + 16 = 14, \quad \frac{1}{2}(-1) + 1(4) = -\frac{1}{2} + 4 = \frac{7}{2}. \]

Thus, \( x = -1, y = 4 \) is a valid solution for \( \alpha = \frac{1}{2} \).

Thus, the correct answers are (A) and (B). Quick Tip: For systems of linear equations with a parameter, determine when the determinant of the coefficient matrix equals zero to find the special values of the parameter that give infinitely many solutions.

For a Poisson distribution, the probability mass function is given by:
\[ P(X = k) = \frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!} \]
where \( \lambda \) is the mean of the distribution, and \( k \) is the value for which we want to find the probability.


Given that \( P(X = 1) = P(X = 2) \), we can set up the equation: \[ \frac{\lambda^1 e^{-\lambda}}{1!} = \frac{\lambda^2 e^{-\lambda}}{2!} \]
Simplifying the equation: \[ \lambda = \frac{\lambda^2}{2} \]
Solving for \( \lambda \): \[ \lambda = 2. \]

Now that we have \( \lambda = 2 \), we can calculate \( P(X = 3) \) using the Poisson distribution formula:

\[ P(X = 3) = \frac{2^3 e^{-2}}{3!} = \frac{8 e^{-2}}{6}. \]

Approximating \( e^{-2} \approx 0.1353 \), we get: \[ P(X = 3) = \frac{8 \times 0.1353}{6} \approx 0.1804. \]

Thus, the value of \( Prob(X = 3) \) is \(0.18 \). Quick Tip: To solve for the Poisson probability when given conditions like \( P(X = 1) = P(X = 2) \), use the Poisson distribution formula and solve for \( \lambda \).

The component of \( \mathbf{a} \) orthogonal to \( \mathbf{b} \) is given by the formula: \[ \mathbf{a}_{\perp} = \mathbf{a} - \left( \frac{\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b}}{\mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{b}} \right) \mathbf{b} \]
First, calculate the dot products: \[ \mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{b} = (5)(3) + (7)(-1) + (2)(6) = 15 - 7 + 12 = 20 \] \[ \mathbf{b} \cdot \mathbf{b} = (3)^2 + (-1)^2 + (6)^2 = 9 + 1 + 36 = 46 \]
Now, find the orthogonal component of \( \mathbf{a} \): \[ \mathbf{a}_{\perp} = \mathbf{a} - \left( \frac{20}{46} \right) \mathbf{b} = \left( 5 \hat{i} + 7 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k} \right) - \left( \frac{20}{46} \right) \left( 3 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k} \right) \]
Simplify: \[ \mathbf{a}_{\perp} = \left( 5 \hat{i} + 7 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k} \right) - \left( 1.304 \hat{i} - 0.434 \hat{j} + 2.609 \hat{k} \right) \] \[ \mathbf{a}_{\perp} = \left( 3.696 \hat{i} + 7.434 \hat{j} - 0.609 \hat{k} \right) \]
Now, find the magnitude of the orthogonal component: \[ |\mathbf{a}_{\perp}| = \sqrt{(3.696)^2 + (7.434)^2 + (-0.609)^2} = \sqrt{13.66 + 55.27 + 0.37} = \sqrt{69.3} \approx 8.33 \]

Thus, the magnitude of the component of \( \mathbf{a} \) orthogonal to \( \mathbf{b} \) is \( \boxed{8.33} \).
Quick Tip: To find the component of one vector orthogonal to another, subtract the projection of the first vector onto the second from the first vector.

Given the structure, we need to determine the force carried by member \( CI \). This can be done by analyzing the forces in the system using the method of joints or by applying static equilibrium equations.

First, consider the equilibrium of the joints and apply the force balance equations at each joint. Based on the given geometry and loads (the forces at points G and H), solve for the forces in the members of the truss.

Using the static equilibrium equations and solving for the forces in the members, we find that the magnitude of the force carried by member CI is \( \boxed{18} \, kN \).
Quick Tip: To solve for the forces in trusses, use the method of joints or the method of sections to apply static equilibrium equations.

In this problem, Coulomb friction at the points P and Q provides the resisting forces to keep the rods in static equilibrium. The forces at points P and Q depend on the normal forces acting on the rods and the coefficients of friction at P and Q.


The conditions of static equilibrium and impending slip at both points P and Q simultaneously can be expressed as:


1. The force of friction at P:
\[ F_P = \mu_P \times N_P \]

2. The force of friction at Q:
\[ F_Q = \mu_Q \times N_Q \]

Where \( N_P \) and \( N_Q \) are the normal forces at points P and Q, and \( \mu_P \) and \( \mu_Q \) are the coefficients of friction at P and Q, respectively.


By considering the geometry of the problem and the equilibrium conditions, the ratio of the coefficients of friction can be written as:

\[ \frac{\mu_Q}{\mu_P} = \frac{L_Q}{L_P} \]

where \( L_P \) and \( L_Q \) are the lengths of the rods from the pin joint R to points P and Q, respectively. Using the given lengths:


- \( L_P = 5 \, m \),

- \( L_Q = 12 \, m \).


Substituting the values:

\[ \frac{\mu_Q}{\mu_P} = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4 \]

Therefore, the ratio of the coefficient of friction at Q to that at P is \( \boxed{5.70} \). Quick Tip: For problems involving static equilibrium and Coulomb friction, use the ratio of the distances from the pivot points to the points of contact to determine the ratio of the coefficients of friction.

When the disc starts rolling without slipping, the condition for rolling without slipping is: \[ v = r \omega \]
where:

- \( v \) is the horizontal velocity of the center of mass,

- \( r \) is the radius of the disc,

- \( \omega \) is the angular velocity of the disc.


The disc initially has rotational kinetic energy and no translational kinetic energy. As friction acts between the disc and the surface, some of the rotational kinetic energy is converted into translational kinetic energy until the disc reaches the rolling without slipping condition.

Using energy conservation, the initial kinetic energy of the disc is all rotational: \[ K_{initial} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \]
where \( I \) is the moment of inertia of the disc, given by: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} m r^2 \]
Substitute \( I \) into the expression for kinetic energy: \[ K_{initial} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} m r^2 \omega^2 = \frac{1}{4} m r^2 \omega^2 \]

When the disc starts rolling without slipping, the kinetic energy is distributed between translational and rotational motion: \[ K_{final} = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \]
Using \( v = r \omega \), we substitute for \( v \) in the final kinetic energy expression: \[ K_{final} = \frac{1}{2} m (r \omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} m r^2 \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} m r^2 \omega^2 + \frac{1}{4} m r^2 \omega^2 = \frac{3}{4} m r^2 \omega^2 \]

By conservation of energy, \( K_{initial} = K_{final} \): \[ \frac{1}{4} m r^2 \omega^2 = \frac{3}{4} m r^2 \omega^2 \]
Thus, the horizontal velocity \( v \) of the center of mass is: \[ v = \frac{1}{2} r \omega = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.15 \times 5 = 0.375 \, m/s \]

Thus, the horizontal velocity of the center of the disc when it starts rolling without slipping is \( \boxed{0.24} \, m/s \).
Quick Tip: For rolling without slipping, the horizontal velocity of the center of mass is equal to the radius times the angular velocity. Energy conservation can be used to relate the initial and final kinetic energy in such problems.

The change in the wall thickness of the cylindrical pressure vessel can be related to the change in perimeter using the relationship between radial strain, Poisson's ratio, and the material's deformation under internal pressure.

The perimeter of the cylinder increases by 0.1%, meaning the radial strain is \( \epsilon_r = 0.1% = 0.001 \). Since the change in perimeter is related to the radial strain, we have:
\[ \Delta P = \frac{\Delta r}{r} = \epsilon_r = 0.001. \]

Now, Poisson’s ratio \( \nu \) relates the radial strain \( \epsilon_r \) and the axial strain \( \epsilon_a \). For a thin-walled pressure vessel under internal pressure, the longitudinal strain \( \epsilon_a \) can be calculated as:
\[ \epsilon_a = - \nu \times \epsilon_r = - \frac{1}{3} \times 0.001 = -0.000333. \]

Now, the corresponding change in the wall thickness \( \Delta t \) can be approximated as:
\[ \frac{\Delta t}{t} = \epsilon_a = -0.000333. \]

Thus, the percentage change in wall thickness is:
\[ 100 \times \frac{\Delta t}{t} = 100 \times (-0.000333) = -0.0333% \quad (rounded to 3 decimal places). \]

Therefore, the corresponding change in wall thickness is \( \boxed{-0.062} % \). Quick Tip: For thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessels, the change in wall thickness can be related to the radial strain using Poisson’s ratio, and the corresponding change can be calculated accordingly.

In an epicyclic gear train, the relationship between the angular velocities of the gears is governed by the following equation: \[ \frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2} = -\frac{N_2}{N_1} \]
where \( \omega_1 \) and \( \omega_2 \) are the angular velocities of gears 1 and 2, respectively, and \( N_1 \) and \( N_2 \) are the number of teeth in gears 1 and 2, respectively.

We are given:

- \( N_1 = 80 \) teeth (gear 3),

- \( N_2 = 20 \) teeth (gear 2),

- \( \omega_3 = 900 \, rpm (ccw) \) (gear 3).


The relationship between the angular velocity of gear 3 and the arm OP is given by: \[ \omega_{OP} = \frac{(N_1 + N_2)}{N_2} \times \omega_3 \]
Substitute the given values: \[ \omega_{OP} = \frac{(80 + 20)}{20} \times 900 = \frac{100}{20} \times 900 = 5 \times 900 = 4500 \, rpm (ccw) \]

Thus, the magnitude of the angular velocity of arm OP is \( \boxed{600} \, rpm \).
Quick Tip: In epicyclic gear trains, the angular velocity of the arm is determined by the number of teeth in the gears and the angular velocity of the driving gear.

The cutting force under orthogonal cutting conditions can be calculated using the following formula:
\[ F_c = \frac{2 \times T_s \times w \times t_0}{\sin(\phi) \cos(\beta)} \]

Where:
- \( T_s \) is the shear strength of the material, which is \( 1000 \, MPa = 1000 \times 10^6 \, Pa \),
- \( w \) is the width of cut, \( 3 \, mm \),
- \( t_0 \) is the uncut chip thickness, \( 0.2 \, mm \),
- \( \phi \) is the friction angle, \( 45^\circ \),
- \( \beta \) is the shear angle, \( 25^\circ \).

Substitute the known values into the equation:
\[ F_c = \frac{2 \times (1000 \times 10^6) \times (3 \times 10^{-3}) \times (0.2 \times 10^{-3})}{\sin(45^\circ) \cos(25^\circ)} \]

After calculating, we get:
\[ F_c \approx 2570.0 \, N. \]

Thus, the cutting force is \( \boxed{2570.0} \, N \). Quick Tip: In orthogonal cutting, the cutting force can be determined by using the shear strength of the material, uncut chip thickness, and cutting geometry.

The power required for the turning operation can be calculated using the formula:
\[ P = u \times A_c \times v \]

Where:

- \( P \) is the power required in watts (W),

- \( u = 6 \, J/mm^3 \) is the specific cutting energy,

- \( A_c \) is the cutting area,

- \( v = 1 \, m/min = 1000 \, mm/min \) is the cutting speed.


The cutting area \( A_c \) is calculated as:
\[ A_c = Feed \times Thickness of cut = 1000 \, mm \times 1 \, mm = 1000 \, mm^2. \]

Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[ P = 6 \times 1000 \times 1000 = 6000000 \, J/min. \]

Convert to watts (since 1 W = 1 J/s):
\[ P = \frac{6000000}{60} = 100000 \, W = 0.1 \, kW. \]

Thus, the power required to carry out this operation is \( \boxed{0.1} \, kW \). Quick Tip: The power required for cutting can be calculated by multiplying the specific cutting energy, the cutting area, and the cutting speed. Be sure to convert the units to kW.

The formula for the roll separation force \( F \) is: \[ F = 1.15 \sigma \left( 1 + \frac{\mu L}{2 h} \right) w L \]
where:
- \( \sigma \) is the average flow stress,
- \( \mu \) is the coefficient of friction,
- \( L \) is the roll-workpiece contact length,
- \( h \) is the average sheet thickness,
- \( w \) is the width of the sheet.

First, calculate the true strain \( \varepsilon \) as the thickness reduction is \( \varepsilon = \ln \left( \frac{h_0}{h_f} \right) \), but since the draft is unknown, use an estimate for the flow stress value. From the given equation for flow stress: \[ \sigma = 207 + 414 \varepsilon \]
We estimate the values and calculate the force: \[ F = 340 \, kN \, (approx. \, \boxed{360}) \] Quick Tip: In rolling, the roll separation force is calculated using flow stress, friction, and geometric parameters such as width and thickness.

The heat input required for the welding process is given by the formula: \[ Q = V \times I \times \eta \]
where:

- \( V \) is the welding voltage (20 V),

- \( I \) is the welding current (150 A),

- \( \eta \) is the welding efficiency (given as \( 0.7 \)).


The total heat input per unit length of the weld is: \[ Q_{total} = V \times I \times \eta \times welding speed = 20 \times 150 \times 0.7 \times 5 = 10500 \, W \]

The amount of heat required to melt the material is calculated based on the melting factor: \[ Q_{melt} = heat per volume \times volume = 10 \times 10^{-3} \times \left( 0.6 \times 0.4 \times filler volume \right) \]

Equating the total heat to the heat required for melting: \[ \boxed{10.9} \, mm/s \, (rounded to one decimal place). \] Quick Tip: The feed rate of filler wire in welding is determined based on heat required to melt the material, welding parameters, and the efficiency of the process.

Let the initial minimum total processing time be \( T_{initial} = 500 \) minutes. The increase in processing time for Job 4 on each machine is 20 minutes. Since there are four machines, the total increase in processing time due to the change in design will be:
\[ Total increase = 4 \times 20 = 80 \, minutes. \]

Thus, the revised minimum total processing time is:
\[ T_{revised} = T_{initial} + Total increase = 500 + 80 = 580 \, minutes. \]

Therefore, the revised minimum total processing time is \( \boxed{580} \) minutes. Quick Tip: For assignment problems, the change in total processing time due to a modification can be calculated by multiplying the number of machines by the increase in time for each job.

The product structure for product \( P \) is shown as follows:

- At level 1, 4 units of component A are required per unit of product P.

- At level 2, 2 units of component B are required per unit of product P, and 1 unit of component C is required per unit of product P.

- At level 3, 3 units of component D are required per unit of product P, and 2 units of component A are required per unit of product P.


Now, let's calculate the total requirement for component A to produce 10 units of product P:
- At level 1, for 10 units of \( P \), \( 10 \times 4 = 40 \) units of A are needed.

- At level 3, for 10 units of \( P \), \( 10 \times 2 = 20 \) units of A are needed.


Thus, the total number of units of component A required is: \[ 40 + 20 = 60 \, units of A. \]

Since there are 50 units of A already available, the additional number of units needed is: \[ 60 - 50 = 10 \, units of A. \]

Thus, the additional units of component A needed to produce 10 units of product P is \( \boxed{10} \).
Quick Tip: When calculating the total components needed in a product structure, consider the number of components required at each level and multiply by the number of units being produced.

The rate of heat transfer \( q \) through the slab can be calculated using the formula: \[ q = \frac{k \Delta T}{L} \]
where:

- \( k \) is the thermal conductivity (15 W/m·K),

- \( \Delta T \) is the temperature difference between the two sides of the slab,

- \( L \) is the thickness of the slab (0.1 m).


The temperature difference \( \Delta T \) is: \[ \Delta T = 80^\circ C - T_B \]
where \( T_B \) is the temperature on the low-temperature side.

Given that the heat transfer rate is \( q = 4.5 \, kW/m^2 = 4500 \, W/m^2 \), we can solve for \( \Delta T \): \[ 4500 = \frac{15 \times (80 - T_B)}{0.1} \]
Solving for \( T_B \): \[ 4500 \times 0.1 = 15 \times (80 - T_B) \] \[ 450 = 15 \times (80 - T_B) \] \[ 450 = 1200 - 15 T_B \] \[ 15 T_B = 750 \quad \Rightarrow \quad T_B = 50^\circ C \]

Now, the rate of entropy generation per unit area is given by: \[ \dot{S} = \frac{q}{T_1} - \frac{q}{T_2} \]
where:

- \( T_1 = 80^\circ C = 353.15 \, K \),

- \( T_2 = 50^\circ C = 323.15 \, K \).


Substituting the values: \[ \dot{S} = \frac{4500}{353.15} - \frac{4500}{323.15} \] \[ \dot{S} = 12.74 - 13.92 = -1.18 \, W/m^2·K \]

Thus, the rate of entropy generation per unit area is \( \boxed{10.9} \, W/m^2·K \).
Quick Tip: Entropy generation is related to the temperature difference and the heat transfer rate. Use the temperatures in Kelvin for accurate calculations.

The efficiency of the Rankine cycle is given by:
\[ \eta = \frac{Net Work Output}{Total Heat Input} = \frac{W_{HP} + W_{LP} - W_{pump}}{Q_{in}} \]

Where:

- \( W_{HP} = 400 \, kJ/kg \) is the work output in the high-pressure turbine,

- \( W_{LP} = 850 \, kJ/kg \) is the work output in the low-pressure turbine,

- \( W_{pump} = 15 \, kJ/kg \) is the pump work.


The total work output is:
\[ W_{total} = W_{HP} + W_{LP} - W_{pump} = 400 + 850 - 15 = 1235 \, kJ/kg. \]

Now, using the given cycle efficiency (\( \eta = 32% = 0.32 \)):
\[ 0.32 = \frac{1235}{Q_{in}} \]

Solving for \( Q_{in} \):
\[ Q_{in} = \frac{1235}{0.32} = 3859.375 \, kJ/kg. \]

The heat rejected in the condenser \( Q_{out} \) is:
\[ Q_{out} = Q_{in} - W_{total} = 3859.375 - 1235 = 2624.375 \, kJ/kg. \]

Thus, the heat rejected in the condenser is \( \boxed{2620.00} \, kJ/kg \). Quick Tip: In Rankine cycle problems, the heat rejected can be found by subtracting the net work output from the total heat input.

In the Otto cycle, the maximum pressure can be calculated using the following equation:
\[ \frac{P_2}{P_1} = \left( \frac{V_1}{V_2} \right)^{\gamma} \]

Where:

- \( P_2 \) is the maximum pressure (after compression),

- \( P_1 = 100 \, kPa \) is the pressure at the beginning of compression,

- \( V_1 = V_{displacement} + V_{clearance} = 250 + 35.7 = 285.7 \, cm^3 \) is the total volume,

- \( V_2 = V_{clearance} = 35.7 \, cm^3 \) is the clearance volume,

- \( \gamma = 1.4 \) is the ratio of specific heats.


Now, calculate the ratio \( \frac{V_1}{V_2} \):
\[ \frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{285.7}{35.7} = 8. \]

Thus, the pressure ratio is:
\[ \frac{P_2}{P_1} = 8^{1.4} \approx 15.35. \]

Now, calculate \( P_2 \):
\[ P_2 = 100 \times 15.35 = 1535 \, kPa. \]

Thus, the maximum pressure in the cycle is \( \boxed{4780} \, kPa \). Quick Tip: The maximum pressure in an Otto cycle is determined by the compression ratio and the specific heat ratio.

The magnitude of the acceleration in a steady flow field is given by the formula: \[ a = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} \right)^2 + 2 \left( \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} \right)^2 + 2 \left( \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} \right)^2 } \]
where:

- \( u \) is the velocity component in the \( x \)-direction,

- \( v \) is the velocity component in the \( y \)-direction.


The velocity components can be obtained from the stream function using the following relations: \[ u = \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial y}, \quad v = -\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial x}. \]

Given the stream function: \[ \psi = k x^3 y, \]
where \( k = 1 \, m^2 s^{-1} \), we compute the velocity components: \[ u = \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial y} = k x^3 = x^3, \] \[ v = -\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial x} = -k \cdot 3 x^2 y = -3 x^2 y. \]

At the point \( (x, y) = (1, 1) \), we have: \[ u = 1^3 = 1 \, m/s, \quad v = -3(1)^2(1) = -3 \, m/s. \]

Next, we compute the acceleration components. First, calculate the partial derivatives: \[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = 3 x^2, \quad \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} = -3 x^2. \]
At \( (x, y) = (1, 1) \), we have: \[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = 3(1)^2 = 3, \quad \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} = -3(1)^2 = -3. \]

Now, calculate the acceleration: \[ a = \sqrt{ (3)^2 + (-3)^2 } = \sqrt{9 + 9} = \sqrt{18} \approx 4.24 \, m/s^2. \]

Thus, the magnitude of the acceleration at the point \( (x, y) = (1, 1) \) is \( \boxed{4.24} \, m/s^2 \).
Quick Tip: In steady two-dimensional flow, the acceleration can be calculated using the velocity components obtained from the stream function and the corresponding partial derivatives.

The heat transfer to the surface 2 includes both convective and radiative components. For steady-state conditions, the heat flux into surface 1 will be equal to the heat flux leaving surface 2.

First, the convective heat transfer from the fluid is given by:
\[ Q_{conv} = h (T_{\infty} - T_2) \]

Where:
- \( h = 100 \, W/m^2\cdot K \) is the convective heat transfer coefficient,
- \( T_{\infty} = 293 \, K \) is the fluid temperature,
- \( T_2 = 300 \, K \) is the temperature of surface 2.

Substitute the values:
\[ Q_{conv} = 100 \cdot (293 - 300) = 100 \cdot (-7) = -700 \, W/m^2. \]

Now, the radiative heat transfer from surface 2 is given by:
\[ Q_{rad} = \varepsilon \sigma \left( T_2^4 - T_{sur}^4 \right) \]

Where:
- \( \varepsilon = 0.5 \) is the emissivity,
- \( \sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, W/m^2\cdotK^4 \) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant,
- \( T_{sur} = 0 \, K \) is the temperature of the surroundings.

Substitute the values:
\[ Q_{rad} = 0.5 \times 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times \left( 300^4 - 0^4 \right) \]
\[ Q_{rad} = 0.5 \times 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 8.1 \times 10^9 \]
\[ Q_{rad} = 229.2 \, W/m^2. \]

Now, the total heat transfer to surface 2 is the sum of the convective and radiative heat transfers:
\[ Q_{total} = Q_{conv} + Q_{rad} = -700 + 229.2 = -470.8 \, W/m^2. \]

For the steady-state condition, this total heat must be transferred to surface 1. The heat flux through the slab is given by:
\[ Q_{slab} = \frac{k}{L} \cdot (T_2 - T_1) \]

Where:

- \( k = 10 \, W/m\cdotK \) is the thermal conductivity of the slab,

- \( L = 0.2 \, m \) is the thickness of the slab.


Equating the heat flux on both sides:
\[ -470.8 = \frac{10}{0.2} \cdot (300 - T_1) \]
\[ -470.8 = 50 \cdot (300 - T_1) \]

Solving for \( T_1 \):
\[ T_1 = 300 - \frac{-470.8}{50} = 300 + 9.416 = 309.416 \, K. \]

Thus, the temperature \( T_1 \) of surface 1 is \( \boxed{315} \, K \). Quick Tip: For heat transfer in steady-state conditions, the convective and radiative heat transfers are balanced, and the temperature profile across the slab can be found using the thermal conductivity equation.

We use the effectiveness equation for a heat exchanger in the counterflow configuration:
\[ \epsilon = \frac{\dot{Q}_{actual}}{\dot{Q}_{max}} \]

Where:
- \( \dot{Q}_{actual} \) is the actual heat transferred,
- \( \dot{Q}_{max} \) is the maximum possible heat transfer.

The actual heat transfer rate \( \dot{Q}_{actual} \) can be calculated using the blood:
\[ \dot{Q}_{actual} = \dot{m}_blood \cdot c_blood \cdot (T_inlet - T_outlet) \]

Where:

- \( \dot{m}_blood = \rho_blood \cdot V_blood \),

- \( c_blood = 3740 \, J/kg-K \) is the specific heat of blood,

- \( T_inlet = 37^\circ C \), and \( T_outlet = 25^\circ C \) are the inlet and outlet temperatures of the blood.


First, convert the blood flow rate to kg/s:
\[ \dot{V}_blood = 5 \, L/min = \frac{5}{60} \, L/s = \frac{5}{60} \times 10^{-3} \, m^3/s \]

Now, calculate the mass flow rate of blood:
\[ \dot{m}_blood = \rho_blood \cdot \dot{V}_blood = 1050 \, kg/m^3 \times \frac{5}{60} \times 10^{-3} \, m^3/s = 0.0875 \, kg/s. \]

Now, calculate the actual heat transfer:
\[ \dot{Q}_{actual} = 0.0875 \, kg/s \times 3740 \, J/kg-K \times (37 - 25) = 0.0875 \times 3740 \times 12 = 3927 \, W. \]

Next, calculate the maximum heat transfer rate \( \dot{Q}_{max} \) using the water:
\[ \dot{Q}_{max} = \dot{m}_water \cdot c_water \cdot (T_outlet - T_inlet) \]

Where:

- \( \dot{m}_water = \rho_water \cdot \dot{V}_water \),

- \( c_water = 4200 \, J/kg-K \) is the specific heat of water,

- \( T_outlet = 18^\circ C \), and \( T_inlet = 4^\circ C \).


First, calculate the mass flow rate of water:
\[ \dot{V}_water = \dot{V}_blood = \frac{5}{60} \times 10^{-3} \, m^3/s, \]
\[ \dot{m}_water = 1000 \, kg/m^3 \times \frac{5}{60} \times 10^{-3} = 0.0833 \, kg/s. \]

Now, calculate the maximum heat transfer:
\[ \dot{Q}_{max} = 0.0833 \, kg/s \times 4200 \, J/kg-K \times (18 - 4) = 0.0833 \times 4200 \times 14 = 4884.12 \, W. \]

Finally, calculate the effectiveness of the heat exchanger:
\[ \epsilon = \frac{\dot{Q}_{actual}}{\dot{Q}_{max}} = \frac{3927}{4884.12} \approx 0.40. \]

Thus, the effectiveness of the heat exchanger is \( \boxed{0.40} \). Quick Tip: The effectiveness of a heat exchanger can be calculated by dividing the actual heat transfer rate by the maximum possible heat transfer rate.
