Is the allowed to contract in width when scenario 1 is applied? Is it allowed to contract in with what scenario 2 is applied?

This is not a correct interpretation. The difference between H2O l enthalpy and H20 g enthalpy is primarily the result of the difference in internal energies of the liquid and vapor, with only a veery small contribution to the difference in PV.

I totally oppose introducing this description in an attempt to assign a physical interpretation to enthalpy. I have seen it accomplish nothing but causing confusion among generation after generation of neophytes to the subject of thermodynamics. Enthalpy is just a convenient shorthand...

Let's see you analysis so far, starting with your schematic of the system.

You need to be able to calculate the outlet temperature of the condenser. For this, you need to know the heat transfer coefficient between the air and the heat transfer surface. This is a function of the flow velocity and the condenser geometry. There may be experimental correlations of heat...

Can the fibers slide at the crossovers or are they locked?

No. The 32.2 is fixed. And the measured force at the equator would be < 1 lb.

Maybe they counted the water of hydration as part of the total water.

You write an equation for the shear stress and bending moment vs x for each section of the beam. You then plot these equations on a graph.

OK. Let's see your moment balances now.

1 ##lb_f## is the force needed to give a mass of ##1\ lb_m## an acceleration of 32.2 ft/sec^2; it is also equal to the force needed to give a mass of 1 slug an acceleration of 1 ft/sec^2 $$1 slug = 32.2 lb_m$$ So, in terms of slugs and ##lb_f##, $$F =ma$$ but in terms of ##lb_f## and...

The mass flow rate is determined by the heat load of the overall system. Are you saying that you have no idea what the outlet conditions of the compressor are. If the compressor is operating adiabatically (and nearly reversibly), the inlet entropy- and outlet entropy per unit mass will be...

For flow water down an incline, the Manning equation (in SI units) reads: $$v=\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)R^{2/3}S^{1/2}$$where v is the average flow velocity parallel to the incline, R is the hydraulic radius of the flow channel (R = h for an flat incline, with h representing the thickness of the...

Where did that reaction force come from?
