(a) Liquid water in a tank can be converted into ice just by evacuating the air from the tank without using heat exchanger. Explain the process and how the device works and the process can be made more efficient. (b) If you have two pots with the same volume but different shapes, one is tall and narrow the other is wide and short, compare and explain about the boiling temperature of the two cases. Discuss the reason why the required temperature for the two cases are different or same on the basis of your answer.

On a 5 day wilderness expedition you'll need to heat 3.0kg of water to the boiling point each day. The air temperature will average 25°C. You have available canisters of compressed propane C3H8 fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 100.g of propane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring? The standard heat of formation of propane at 25°C is −103.85/kJmol.
I need help on this question: (This question requires the use of Roger & Mayhew Steam Property Tables) Saturated steam at 1 atm is condensed on the external surface of a copper tube withan outside diameter 16 mm and tube wall of thickness 0.5 mm. The tube is cooledinternally by water with a mass flow rate of 0.06 kg/s, which in turn is raised intemperature from 15 oC to 60 oC as it flows through the tube. (Take the heat-transfer coefficient at the condensing side as 10.0 kW/m2K and the isobaric specific heat-capacity of water as 4180 J/kg K.) a) To calculate the heat transfer rate to the cooling water b) To calculate the length of the tube c) Comment on how to enhance heat transfer in this case.
Design a hydrocooling unit that can cool fruits and vegetables from 30 to 5 °C at a rate of 20,000 kg/h under the following conditions:The unit will be of the flooded type, which will cool the products when they are transported in the channel filled with water. Products will be dropped into the water filled chute at one end and collected at the other end. The channel can have a width of up to 3 m and a height of up to 90 cm. The water will circulate and be cooled by the evaporator section of a refrigeration system. The temperature of the refrigerant inside the coils will be 2°C, and the temperature of the water must not fall below 1.5°C and must not exceed 7°C.Assuming reasonable values for the average density, specific heat, and porosity of the product (the fraction of the volume of air in a box), recommend reasonable values for a) the velocity of the water through the channel and b) the flow rate refrigeration system cooling (QL). Compressor efficiency 75%. For the calculation of the…

A copper rod, an aluminum rod, and a brass, each 6.00 m length and 1.00 cm diameter, are placed end to end with the aluminum rod between the other two. The free end of the copper rod is maintained at water’s boiling point, and the free end of the brass rod is maintained at water’s freezing point. If T1 and T2 are steady-state temperature copper-aluminum junction and aluminum-brass junction respectively. Where TC is temp at freezing point of water and TH is temp at boiling point of water. Show that the steady-state temperature for (a) the aluminum-brass junction is:
Pre-lab 8: Cold Engine The experimental setup for this week's lab consists of a syringe connected to a metal can (reservoir), a cold bath (water - ice mixture) and a "hot" bath (water at room temperature). A schematics of the syringe - reservoir system is shown below. Plunger of mass m Filled with gas (air) Syringe of volume Vcor VH - Volume Vo includes tube + Metal can -Metal can submerged in water of temperature Тс or TH. Tube Stopper Figure 1: Schematic of the syringe - reservoir system. The syringe is essentially a glass cylinder fitted with a movable piston (plunger). The markings on the syringe indicate the volume of gas in the syringe, but do not include the additional, unknown volume, Vo, in the gas can and tubing.

A- Cylinder has a 0.1m in length and 0.1min diameter, is initially at 292 K. It is suspended in a steam environment where water vapor at 373 K condenses on all surfaces with an effective film coefficient, h, of 8500W/m2 K. Determine the time required for the center of this stubby cylinder to reach 310 K. If the cylinder were sufficiently long so that it could be considered infinite, how long would it take? (4 Marks)
Q) Compare the heat transfer coefficients under the following conditions (Assume flow is turbulent). (1) Two fold increase in the diameter of the tube; the flow velocity is maintained constant by a change in the rate of liquid flow. (2) Two fold increase in the flow velocity by varying the mass flow rate. Comment on. the results.

On a hot humid summer day, the air can be considered saturated steam at 950C. If you were to take an ice-cold beverage (40C) from the cooler, you would notice drop-wise condensation on the side of the can forming. What is the condensation heat transfer coefficient for the cold can? Assume the can is 12-cm tall and has a diameter of 8-cm.
