What is the approximate temperature difference between a hot plate and the surrounding air if the heat flux from the plate is 800 W/m2? Assume that the air is flowing past the surface with a velocity of 5 m/s giving a heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/(m2K).
Consider a steam pipe of length 15 ft, inner radius 2 in., outer radius 2.4 in., and thermal conductivity 7.2 Btu/hr-ft-°F. Steam is flowing through the pipe at an average temperature of 250°F, and the average convection heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface is given to be 1.25 Btu/hr-ft2-°F.

The blades of a wind turbine turn a large shaft at a relatively slow speed. The rotational speed is increased by a gearbox that has an efficiency of 0.93. In turn, the gearbox output shaft drives an electric generator with an efficiency of 0.95. The cylindrical nacelle, which houses the gearbox, generator, and associated equipment, is of length L = 6 m and diameter D = 3 m. If the turbine produces P = 2.5 MW of electrical power, and the air and surroundings temperatures are T = 25 oC and Tsur = 20 oC, respectively, determine the minimum possible operating temperature inside the nacelle. The emissivity of the nacelle is 0.83, and the convective heat transfer coefficient is h = 35 W/m2 .K. The surface of the nacelle that is adjacent to the blade hub can be considered to be adiabatic, and solar irradiation may be neglected. Use Fin or N number of fins to reduce the Ts of the nacelle less than 143 oC

Water is to be heated from 10°C to 80°C as it flows through a 2-cm-internal-diameter, 7-m-long tube. The tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater, which provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer surface of the heater is well insulated, so that in steady operation all the heat generated in the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is to provide hot water at a rate of 8 L/min, determine the power rating of the resistance heater. Also, estimate the inner surface temperature of the pipe at the exit
