Finally, if the second law of thermodynamics can be stated as the law of degradation of energy, then entropy can be regarded as the measure of the degree of energy degradation.

4 1.4 A constant torque of 150 Nm applied to a turbine rotor is sufficient to overcome the constant bearing friction torque and give it a speed of 75 rpm from rest after 9 revolutions. When the 150 Nm torque is removed, the turbine rotor turns for a further 23 revolutions before stopping. Determine the moment of inertia of the rotor and the bearing friction torque.
5 1.5 A motor is required to reach an operating speed of 500 rpm in a time of 30 seconds from rest at a constant acceleration. DetermineThe required constant accelerationThe number of revolutions the motor turns to reach this operating speed. The motor is then turned off and comes to rest under a constant deceleration of 0.1 rad/s2 due to bearing friction. How long and how many revolutions does it take for the motor to come to reset?

Determine the pressure drop in the induction manifold for these conditions:Ambient pressure pa = 0.1 MPa.Flow velocity at the inlet Ca is negligible, and at the valve throat C = 56 m/s.Loss head at the valve restriction is given by hloss = βC2/2g, where the loss factor β = 7.Density of air ρa = 1.21 kg/m3. (Due to the small pressure drop during the induction process, air can be treated as incompressible fluid.)
