Please help. I am not sure how to approach this problem. This problem involves heat transfer and internal flow within a retangular channel. Thank you.
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco has a main span of length 1.28 km, one of the longest in the world. Imagine that a steel wire with this length and a cross-sectional area of 4.10 x 106 m2 is laid in a straight line on the bridge deck with its ends attached to the towers of the bridge. On a summer day the temperature of the wire is 22.0°C. (a) When winter arrives, the towers stay the same distance apart and the bridge deck keeps the same shape as its expansion joints open. When the temperature drops to -10°C, what is the tension in the wire? (Take Young's modulus for steel to be 2.00 x 1011 N/m2, and the average linear expansion coefficient for steel to be 1.1 x 10-Soc-1.) (b) Permanent deformation occurs if the stress in the steel exceeds its elastic limit of 3.00 x 10° N/m2. At what temperature would the wire reach its elastic limit? (c) Explain how your answers to parts (a) and (b) would change if the Golden Gate Bridge were twice as long.
Hint: You found out where is the maximum temperature.

A 50-mm thick plate of carbon steel (AISI 1010) is annealed with a reheat stage taking the steel from its initial uniform temperature of 200 C to a minimum final temperature of 550 C. HEating is effected in a gas-fired furnace where products of combustion at Tamb = 800 C maintain a convection coefficient of h = 100 W/m^2K on both sides of the plate. How long should the plate be left in the furnace? Substantiate with relevant analysis and calculations.
Based on the following information, how does a 1000W microwave compare to the stovetop and electric kettles in terms of water-heating efficiency? Calculate both electricity-to-heat and overall efficiency (assuming electricity from a natural gas fired power plant). Please express your answer as a percentage. -A 1000W microwave takes 120 seconds to boil 8 oz of water. -The boiling point of water is 100°C, and room temperature water is 20°C -The specific heat of water is 4.186 J/gC
