A coil-shaped cooling pipe is made of SS-304 material. This pipe is 1 ft long, 0.4 inch outside diameter, and inch inside diameter. This coil cooling pipe is used to cool the water in the bath. The temperature of the inner coil pipe is 40oF while the outer coil in contact with water is 80oF. The thermal conductivity of SS-304 is a function of temperature where k(T) = 7.75 + (7.78 x 10-3).T where k is in Btu/h.ft.oF and T is in oF. Calculate the rate of heat dissipation in watts! (1287.7)

Fins, or extended surfaces, commonly are used in a variety of engineering applications to enhance cooling. Common examples include a motorcycle engine head, a lawn mower engine head, extended surfaces used in electronic equipment, and finned tube heat exchangers in room heating and cooling applications. Consider aluminum fins of a rectangular profile, which are used to remove heat from a surface whose temperature is100° C . The temperature of the ambient air is 20° C. We are interested in determining how the temperature of the fin varies along its length and plotting this temperature variation. For long fins, the temperaturedistribution along the fin is given by
Question No.14: a) Derive the expression for temperature distribution and heat dissipation in an infinite long fin of rectangular profile. b) Explain about Buckingham’s π theorem.
J 5 A cylindrical steel tank with a diameter of 1.8m and a height of 2m, is insulated with polyurethane on its lateral faces and its lid. The insulation is 40 mm thick and covered with a thin layer of metal. The tank contains water that is kept warm by an electric heater in such a way as to maintain the inner surface of the tank at a temperature of 55C. The ambient air temperature is 10C and the external skin coefficient is 10 w/m2K. If the energy cost is $0.15/kwh. What is the monthly energy cost for water storage?
The author and his then 6-year-old son have conducted the following experiment to determine the thermal conductivity of a hot dog. They first boiled water in a large pan and measured the temperature of the boiling water to be 94°C, which is not surprising, since they live at an elevation of about 1650 m in Reno, Nevada. They then took a hot dog that is 12.5 cm long and 2.2 cm in diameter and inserted a thermocouple into the midpoint of the hot dog and another thermocouple just under the skin. They waited until both thermocouples read 20°C, which is the ambient temperature. They then dropped the hot dog into boiling water and observed the changes in both temperatures. Exactly 2 min after the hot dog was dropped into the boiling water, they recorded the center and the surface temperatures to be 59°C and 88°C, respectively. The density of the hot dog can be taken to be 980 kg/m3, which is slightly less than the density of water, since the hot dog was observed to be floating in water while…
