Consider an engine cover that is made with two layers of metal plates. The inner layer is stainless steel (k1 = 14 W/m∙K) with a thickness of 10 mm, and the outer layer is aluminum (k2 = 237 W/m∙K) with a thickness of 5 mm. Both metal plates have a surface roughness of about 23 mm. The aluminum plate is attached on the stainless steel plate by screws that exert an average pressure of 20 MPa at the interface. The inside stainless steel surface of the cover is exposed to heat from the engine with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m2∙K at an ambient temperature of 150°C. The outside aluminum surface is exposed to a convection heat transfer coefficient of 25 W/m2∙K at an ambient temperature of 40°C. Determine the heat flux through the engine cover.

What is the pressure inside the drop of mercury of radius 3.00 mm at room temperature? Surface tension of mercury at that temperature (20°C) is 4.65 x 10 N m. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01 x 10° Pa. Also give the excess pressure inside the drop.
A 0.527 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 6.56 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 1.35, what is the initial acceleration ? of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atmand that the top of the tube is open to the air.
A cylinder containing ideal gas is sealed by a piston that is above the gas. The piston is a cylindrical object, with a weight of 22.0 N, which can slide up or down in the cylinder without friction. The inner radius of the cylinder, and the radius of the piston, is 8.00 cm. The top of the piston is exposed to the atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa. The cylinder has a height of 30.0 cm, and, when the temperature of the gas is 20°C, the bottom of the piston is 11.0 cm above the bottom of the cylinder. (A) Find the number of moles of ideal gas in the cylinder. (B) Heat is added, gradually raising the temperature of the gas to 160°C. Calculate the distance between the bottom of the cylinder and the bottom of the piston when the piston comes to its new equilibrium position.
Tire gauges for air pressure, as well as most other gauges used in an industrial environment take into account the pressure due to the atmosphere of earth. That's why your car gauge reads 0 before you put it on your tire to check your pressure. That is called gauge pressure. The real pressure within a tire or other object contains pressurized stuff would be a combination of what the gauge reads as well at the atmospheric pressure. If a gauge on a tire reads 40.16 psi, what is the real pressure in the tire in pascals. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01x10^5 Pa.
Problem 1: A certain rigid aluminum container contains a liquid at a gauge pressure of P0 = 2.02 × 105 Pa at sea level where the atmospheric pressure is Pa = 1.01 × 105 Pa. The volume of the container is V0 = 2.15 × 10-4 m3. The maximum difference between the pressure inside and outside that this particular container can withstand before bursting or imploding is ΔPmax = 2.41 × 105 Pa.For this problem, assume that the density of air maintains a constant value of ρa = 1.20 kg / m3 and that the density of seawater maintains a constant value of ρs = 1025 kg / m3. What is the maximum depth dmax in meters below the surface of the ocean that the container can be taken before imploding?
