I think a circuit diagram (nodal analysis) is the way to go.

For a general cooler or heater, the calculations for heat transfer are based on the tube side and shell side. So 1) For a reboiler would the vaporizer be the "shell" since that's where the heat transfer occurs? 2) How do you account for the phase change? I used Q = m*cP*dT to calculate duty...

Lets assume an exchanger that is 100% efficient (no heat loss). Duty (Q) and LMTD is known. Your overall heat transfer coefficient (U) is dependent on your transfer coefficients on the shell and tube side, and the resistance of the pipe walls (we're going to ignore entrance effects and fouling)...

radius is 2 meters and angular acceleration is 3. How do i find the tangential acceleration?

a projectile is shot at an angle with a certain initial velocity at a height, say 2 ft above ground. The only thing that changes is the height above the ground

What happens to range if the initial height is doubled. Say if something is shot at 2 ft and then its shot at 4 ft high, what happens to range? I know that its conservation of energy. I just have no idea how to come up with the right answer

Range and Height Kinematics? What happens to range if the initial height is doubled. Say if something is shot at 2 ft and then its shot at 4 ft high, what happens to range?

Wiley Coyote and his Acme rocket, together having inertia of 1000 kg, are speeding after Roadrunner. Upon seeing a large brick wall in his path, Coyote tries to slow down. Unfortunately, he’s still going 5 m/s when he runs into the wall. The wall is not affected, but the rocket crumples (the...

Did you guys get 1.25 J as the answer. And if so, why did it give me the mass of. And how does that not affect work done? My thought process: work is the change in energy which in this case is the change in potential (atleast I think it is). So I used the equation 1/2 kx squared.

could you help me get started. With what equation? and I'm kinda confused on the 3 distances given.

An object with inertia m = 1.5 kg is connected to a spring with spring constant k = 250 N/m and equilibrium position at x0 = 5 cm (for x > x0, the force is directed toward the origin). The object is initially at rest at position x = 10 cm. You grab the object and move it slowly to position x =...
