Long cylindrical steel rods (p=7833kg/m3 and cp=0.465kJ/kg*°C) of 8-cm diameter are heat treated by drawing them at a velocity of 4m/min through an 8-m-long oven maintained at 900°C. If the rods enter the oven at 25°C and leave at 750°C, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to the rods in the oven and (b) the rate of entropy generation associated with this heat transfer process.

Fluid flow axially in annular region between two concentric : A fluid flow axially in the annular region between two concentric pipes with radii R1 and R2>R1, respectively. Assume the flow is steady, incompressible, axisymmetric, fully-developed, and has no swirl. Also neglect all body forces.

Assume that the tunnel operates adiabatically : A hypersonic gun tunnel is used to generate short-duration, high-speed flows and typically consists of two cylindrical volumes separated by a diaphragm. One end of the tunnel (the driver end) is pumped to a high pressure, while the other end (the dri..

Pressure-angle helical pinion with a right-hand helix : A 17-tooth 20 normal pressure-angle helical pinion with a right-hand helix angle of 30 rotates at 1800 rev/min when transmitting 4 hp to a 52-tooth helical gear.
