Two rectangular surfaces both having 1 m2 area are placed perpendicular to each other with a common edge. One surface is hot, having a temperature of 1000 K and emissivity of 0.4, while the other is insulated and in radiant balance with a large surrounding room at 300 K. If the fraction of radiation leaving the hot surface which reaches the cold surface is 0.2, then the equivalent overall resistance for the radiation heat loss from the hot surface is _______ m-2 (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
A rigid closed vertical cylindrical vessel of 15 cm diameter contains 5 kg water at 80 °C with 10% quality. The water is heated till its temperature reaches 130 °C.

T, v, and u are temperature, specific volume, and specific internal energy, respectively. Subscripts f and g represent saturated liquid and saturated vapor, respectively.
In a deep drawing operation of a rectangular sheet metal, \(30\%\) stretching in length results in \(15\%\) reduction in thickness. Assuming volume constancy, the normal anisotropy of the sheet metal is ________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
Water with a density of 1000 kg/m3 comes out of an industrial condenser through a horizontal pipe of 15 cm radius at the flow rate of 4.5 m3/min. The outlet of the pipe is connected to a coaxial diffuser of 0.5 m length using a flange to raise the pressure of water to atmospheric condition without any backflow. The inner radius (\(r\), in m) of the diffuser cross-section is expressed as
\[ r = 0.15 + 0.4x^2 \]
where, \(x\) represents the axial distance of the diffuser in m, from its inlet. Considering frictionless flow, the magnitude of the force exerted by the diffuser on the flange is ________ N (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
An inward flow reaction turbine, having an outer diameter of \(1\) m, runs at \(600\) RPM. The normal component of absolute velocity at the inlet is \(10\) m/s. If the guide blade angle is \(15^{\circ}\), then the inlet vane angle of the runner is ________ degree (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
A cylindrical pressure vessel made of steel has diameter of 3 m and wall thickness of 15 mm. For steel, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are 210 GPa and 0.3, respectively. The cylinder is designed such that the allowable normal strain at the outer cylindrical surface is equal to 0.00034. The permissible pressure in the tank is ________ kPa (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
