Contained in a cylinder fitted with a piston : Argon gas initially at 140 kPa, 10C is contained in a cylinder fitted with a piston. The initial volume of the gas is 0.2m^3. The gas is now compressed in a poly tropic process, PV^(1.4)=constant, to a final pressure of 700 kPa assuming ideal gas beh..

Find equation for the steady state temperature distribution : A very large vertical steel plate that is 1 cm thick is inductively heated with internal heat generation rate of 2x10^9 W/m3 . The plate is initially at 20°C, and the left and right surfaces are kept at 20Â°C throughout the heating process.

Temperature difference between the hot and cold streams : A vortex tube is used to separate an ideal gas at 10 bar and 375 K such that half the gas is collected in a cool stream at 1 bar and 255 K and the other half becomes a hot stream at 1 bar and 495 K. Assuming the process is adiabatic: is this process ..
