- What is the general difference between the coefficient of volume expansion of solids and liquids? Explainarrow_forwardA long 8-cm diameter vertical steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 90oC passes through some open area that is not protected against the wind blows. Determine the rate of heat loss from the pipe per unit length when the air is at 1 atm, 7oC and the wind is blowing across the pipe at a velocity of 50 km/h. From Table A-1: Thermal conductivity, k = 0.0275 W/m oC , viscosity, v = 1.77 x 10-5 m2/s Prandtl no. Pr = 0.71arrow_forwardSome people think that ice skates slide on ice because ice melts at the pressure exerted by the skating person. Prove by calculation that such a statement is incorrect. Given student with 75kg mass who skates when the air temperature is -3°C. The edge of the ice skate is 28cm long and 3mm wide (the student stands on one leg). For the calculations, consider that the density of water changes from 1.00gcm^-3 to 0.92gcm^-3 while it freezes at 0°C at atmospheric pressure. Enthalpy of fusion for ice is 6kJmol^-1 and the molar mass is 18gmol^-1 (1)Calculate the pressure exerted by the student(weight, G=m x g, where g=9.81ms^-2 gravitational acceleration) (2)Calculate the melting point of ice at the given pressure by applying the Clapeyron equation (3)Compare the temperature of air and that of the calculated melting point and draw the conclusionarrow_forward
- A compressed air tank is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air when Ölled to a gaugepressure of 200 atm at an ambient temperature of 70 F. Calculate the interior volume of thetank. One standard cubic foot of air occupies one cubic foot at standard temperature and pressure(T = 59 F and p = 2116 lb/ft2).arrow_forwardThe boiling temperature of nitrogen at atmosphericpressure at sea level (1 atm) is -196°C. Therefore, nitrogenis commonly used in low-temperature scientific studies sincethe temperature of liquid nitrogen in a tank open to the atmosphereremains constant at -196°C until the liquid nitrogen inthe tank is depleted. Any heat transfer to the tank results inthe evaporation of some liquid nitrogen, which has a heatof vaporization of 198 kJ/kg and a density of 810 kg/m3 at1 atm.Consider a 4-m-diameter spherical tank initially filledwith liquid nitrogen at 1 atm and -196°C. The tank isexposed to 20°C ambient air with a heat transfer coefficientof 25 W/m2·K. The temperature of the thin-shelled sphericaltank is observed to be almost the same as the temperatureof the nitrogen inside. Disregarding any radiation heatexchange, determine the rate of evaporation of the liquidnitrogen in the tank as a result of the heat transfer from theambient air.arrow_forwardDuring a picnic on a hot summer day, the only available drinks were those at the ambient temperature of 90°F. In an effort to cool a 12-fluid-oz drink in a can, which is 5 in high and has a diameter of 2.5 in, a person grabs the can and starts shaking it in the iced water of the chest at 32°F. The temperature of the drink can be assumed to be uniform at all times, and the heat transfer coefficient between the iced water and the aluminum can is 30 Btu/h·ft2·°F. Using the properties of water for the drink, estimate how long it will take for the canned drink to cool to 40°F.arrow_forward

Make reasonable assumptions to estimate the gage pressure in the tirearrow_forwardHow does the buoyant force change with height? How does the buoyant force change from water to salt water?arrow_forwardWhat are the Poisson equations? How would the respective equations look like at isothermal, iso-choric, isobaric conditions?arrow_forward
- The top surface of the passenger car of a train moving at a velocity of 70 km/h is 2.8 m wide and 8 m long. The top surface is absorbing solar radiation at a rate of 200 W/m2, and the temperature of the ambient air is 30°C. Assuming the roof of the car to be perfectly insulated and the radiation heat exchange with the surroundings to be small relative to convection, determine the equilibrium temperature of the top surface of the car.arrow_forwardEngine Oil at 58.95 degrees celsius Flows over a 5m long flat plate whose temperature is 20.11 degrees celsius with a velocity of 2.2m/s. Determine the rate of heat transfer (W), considering forced convection, per unit width of the entire plate. Density = 876kg/m^3 Thermal conductivity = 0.144W/m-K Pr = 2870 dynamic viscosity = 0.21kg/m-s Q = ?arrow_forwardA thin plate moves between two parallel, horizontal, stationary flat surfaces at a constant velocity of 5 m/s. The two stationary surfaces are spaced 4 cm apart, and the medium between them is filled with oil whose viscosity is 0.9 N⋅s/m2. The part of the plate immersed in oil at any given time is 2-m long and 0.5-m wide.If the viscosity of the oil above the moving plate is 4 times that of the oil below the plate, determine the distance of the plate from the bottom surface (h2) that will minimize the force needed to pull the plate between the two oils at constant velocity.arrow_forward
