Average heat transfer coefficient along length of the plate : Refrigerant-134a flows across a 3 m-long plate which imparts a constant heat flux of 50 kW/m2 to the refrigerant. If the refrigerant is at -40 C and is flowing at 1 m/s, determine the following: (a) The average heat transfer coefficient along the len..

Heat transfer coefficient between the sodium and the plate : Molten sodium metal is often used as a coolant in nuclear reactors. Consider molten sodium at 205 C flowing at a rate of 0.23 m/s over a plate with length and width of 1 m and 2 m, respectively.

Air flows through a pipe with a variable diameter : Air flows through a pipe with a variable diameter at a constant volumetric flow rate of 0.5 m^3/s. Assuming the velocity profiles are uniform throughout use mass conservation to find the velocity where the diameter is 0.4m and 0.2m

Many uses including the production of sulfuric acid : SO3 has many uses including the production of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). A gas stream having the (molar) composition shown in the figure below is to be passed through a two-stage converter. The fractional conversion of SO2 to SO3 (per single pass) in the..

Determine the maximum speed reached by the mass : An electric hoist consumes 5 kW of power at a constant rate to lift a 500-kg mass. Assuming that the hoist is 80% efficient, determine the maximum speed reached by the mass.

Changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible : Air is compressed steadily in a compressor from 100kPa and 300 K to 1 Mpa and 500 K. The compressor is not well insulated and a heat loss of 40 KJ/kg occurs during the process. Assuming the changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible, de..

Monthly payment if the mortgage is to be paid off : You are buying a home for $360000. If you make a down payment of $60000 ad take out a mortgage on the rest at 8.5% compounded monthly, what will be your monthly payment if the mortgage is to be paid off in 15 years?

Room is heated by a base-board resistance heater : Room is heated by a base-board resistance heater, which is designed to heat the air in this room from 8oC to 27 oC within 20 min. Approximating the room as a thermo-insulated cuboid 15m ? 10m ? 5m and assuming the specific heats to be constant at a r..

Yield strength for alloy that has average grain diameter : The yield strength for an alloy that has an average grain diameter of 4.4 x 10-2 mm is 115 MPa. At a grain diameter of 7.1 x 10-3 mm, the yield strength increases to 258 MPa. At what grain diameter, in mm, will the yield strength be 237 MPa?
