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).
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. Considering only a horizontal separated interface between liquid and vapor, the dip in the liquid level after the heating process is ________ cm (rounded off to 2 decimal places). Properties of water at various saturation temperatures are given in the table below.

T, v, and u are temperature, specific volume, and specific internal energy, respectively. Subscripts f and g represent saturated liquid and saturated vapor, respectively.
A drill bit during its lifetime can produce \(150\) through holes in a plate at a drill speed of \(200\) RPM. If the drill speed increases to \(300\) RPM, it can produce \(60\) through holes in the same plate before the drill bit fails. Assuming all other parameters remain constant, the value of the exponent in Taylor's tool life equation is ________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
The actual demand for castings in a factory is \(500\) units and \(635\) units for the months of January 2026 and February 2026, respectively. The forecasted demand for January 2026 is \(250\) units and the smoothing constant is \(0.7\). Using the exponential smoothing method, the forecast of the demand for castings in March 2026 is ________ units (in integer).
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 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).
