    Theory of Machines (Mechanical Engineering) question

    Hello all; I have been thinking about something for some time and could not find it through the internet so i decided to ask this to you. In theory of machines course, there is lambda (degree of freedom of space) in the degree of freedom of mechanism formula. As you already know...

    Why do diesel engines produce less power than gasoline engines?

    Hello all; I have been thinking about this for some time and searching through the internet for it but couldn't get a satisfactory answer for it, so i decided to ask this to you. Here is my question: If diesel fuel has more energy in it than gasoline does and if diesel engines are more...

    Isentropic Nozzle Behavior Explanation

    How can the pressure be fixed? Also, isn't it necessary to state that in the problem?

    Isentropic Nozzle Behavior Explanation

    Hello. I was working on a sample problem on my thermodynamics book about isentropic nozzles. Pressures, velocities, and temperatures of steam entering to a non isentropic nozzle and exiting it are known. The question asks me to find the velocity of the steam exiting, if the nozzle were...

    Undergrad Work done by a car engine up a slope

    Hello. I've searched the internet hard but couldn't find anything about this so i decided to ask this to physicsforums. If a car is up a slope with friction and it's stopping(balanced) by using the gas pedal, what is the energy consumed by the motor of the car? I know F.x is 0 in this...
