Chapter 2, Problem 10P

The average daily temperature for an area can be approximated by the following function,

T = T mean + ( T peak T mean )  cos  ( ω ( t t peak ) )

Where T mean = the average annual temperature, T peak = the peak temperature, ω = the frequency of the annual variation ( = 2 π / 365 ) ,  and  t peak = day of the peak temperature ( 205  d ) . Develop a program that computes the average temperature between two days of the year for a particular city. Test it for (a) January-February ( t = 0  to 59 ) in Miami, Florida ( T mean = 22.1 ° C ; T peak = 28.3 ° C ) , and (b) July-August ( t = 180  to 242 ) in Boston, Massachusetts ( T mean = 10.7 ° C; T peak = 22.9 ° C ) .

Q1. Honey is a very widely used ingredient in cooking all around the world. Many commercial honey manufacturers heat treat honey to remove harmful bacteria that may be present. The density and viscosity of the honey varies with temperature, as shown in table 1. Temperature K 293 298 303 308 313 318 323 Density kg/m³ 1403 1398 1393 1388 1383 1378 1373 Viscosity Pas 55.66 46.45 37.99 30.28 23.32 17.11 11.65 Table 1: Fluid properties of honey. A particular processing facility heats and sterilises 500 kg of unprocessed honey every 30 minutes. The unpro- cessed honey is stored in large vats, then pumped though pipes into heating units before being pumped through another pipe to be bottled. The pipe carrying the honey from a storage container, which is 11 m tall, to a heating unit is 5 m long and has a diameter of 10 cm. Prior to being heated the honey is kept at 25°C. (a) What is the pressure difference between the top and bottom of a storage vat when it is full? (b) What is the volume flow…
Give True or False for the following: 1.In liquids and gases, heat transmission is caused by conduction and convection 2.The surface geometry is the important factor in convection heat transfer 3. The heat transfer by conduction from heated surface to the adjacent layer of fluid, 4. The heat transfer is increased in the fin when &> 1 5.The unit of the thermal diffusivity is m²/s 6. Temperature change between the materials interfaces is attributed to the thermal contact resistance 7. A material that has a low heat capacity will have a large thermal diffusivity. 8. Heat conduction flowing from one side to other depends directly on thickness 9.Fin efficiency is the ratio of the fin heat dissipation with that of no fin 10.The critical radius is represented the ratio of the convicted heat transfer to the thermal conductivity
A thermometer having a time constant of 0.2 min is placed in a temperature bath, and after the thermometer comes to equilibrium with the bath, the temperature of the bath is increased linearly with time at a rate of l0 C/min. What is the difference between the indicated temperature and the bath temperature (a) 0.1 min, (b) 1.0 min after the change in temperature begins?
