Formulate and solve thermodynamics problems using the first and second laws of thermodynamics. b. Determine thermodynamic properties from steam tables. c.

A prime example of this is the individualpressure sensor pitches of the array as presented in Figure 2(a). This distance was the result ofinputted dimensions for the known device elements (resistor width, resistor length, diaphragmsize, trace widths, and spacing between traces) and parametric equations tuned for distributing themost compact, yet manufacturable spacing of the diaphragms possible.
