Chapter 1, Problem 1.29P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The changes in the capillary height of the tube for water and mercury are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

For water, the intermolecular forces present between the molecules of liquid at the surface is less than the forces of attraction present between liquid water and the glass surface. This leads to the rise in the height of the liquid in the tube.

The intermolecular forces present at the surface of liquid mercury is more than the forces of attraction present between liquid mercury and the glass surface. This leads to depression in the height of the liquid in the tube.

The formula used to calculate this height ( h ) is:

  h=2σcosθρgr ........(1)

Here, σ is the surface tension, θ is the contact angle, ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and r is the radius of the tube.

A 5 cm diameter, 60 cm long aluminum cylinder initially at 50 oC is submerged in an ice-water bath at 2 oC. The convective heat transfer coefficient between the metal and the bath is 550 W/m2·K. Using the lumped parameter analysis, derive the equation below. Show procedures in detail please.And determine the central temperature of the aluminum after 1 min. For aluminum, k = 236 W/m·K, ρ =2702 kg/m3, and cp= 896 J/kg·K. (1 W = 1 J/s) Then calculate the cumulative heat transfer for the first 1 min.(the first law of theromodynamics is attached and the. needed equation to derive)
Radioactive waste is stored in the spherical stainless-steel container as shown schematically in the figure below. Heat generated within the waste material must be dissipated by conduction through the steel shell and then by convection to the cooling water. Pertinent dimensions and system operating variables are Inside radius of steel shell, ri = 0.4 m; Outside radius of steel shell, ro = 0.5 m Volumetric rate of heat generated within waste material, q˙= 105 W/m3, Thermal conductivity of steel = 15 W/m·K; Thermal conductivity of waste = 20 W/m·K, Convective heat-transfer coefficient between steel shell and water, h = 800 W/m2·K, Water temperature, T∞ = 25 oC. In the stainless-steel shell, the temperature profile as a function of radius, r can be expressed as follows:Can you: At steady state, calculate the temperature at the outside steel surface (r = ro). And Calculate the temperature at the inside steel surface (r = ri).
