Chapter 1, Problem 9P

The human eye has a biological control system that varies the pupil diameter to mamtain constant light intensity to the retina. As the light intensity increases, the optical nerve sends a signal to the brain, which commands internal eye muscles to decrease the pupil's eye diameter. When the light intensity decreases, the pupil diameter increases.

  1. Draw a functional block diagram of the light-pupil system indicating the input, output, and intermediate signals; the sensor, the controller; and the actuator. (Section 1.4: Introduction to a Case Study]
  2. Under normal conditions the incident light will be larger than the pupil. If the incident light is smaller than the diameter of the pupil, the feedback path is broken (Beehhoefer. 2005). Modify your block diagram from Part a. to show where the loop is broken. What will happen if the narrow beam of light varies in intensity, such as in a sinusoidal fashion?
  3. It has been found (Bechhuefer. 2005) that it takes the pupil about 300 milliseconds to react to achongc in the incident light. If light shines off center to the retina, describe the response of the pupil with delay present and then without delay present

Using the explicit finite-difference techniques with a space increment of Ax = = 75 mm, determine the temperature at the irradiated surface and at an interior point that is 150 mm from the surface after 2 min have elapsed. Q5: (12.5 M) A) A steel bar 2.5 cm square and 7.5 cm long is initially at a temperature of 250°C. It is immersed in a tank of oil maintained at 30°C. The heat-transfer coefficient is 570 W/m². C. Calculate the temperature in the center of the bar after 3 min. B) Air at 90°C and atmospheric pressure flows over a horizontal flat plate at 60 m/s. The plate is 60 cm square and is maintained at a…

The wall is covered with a layer of insulation 2.5 cm thick whose thermal conductivity is 1.4 W/m. C, and the temperature of the wall on the inside of the insulation is 315°C. The wall loses heat to the environment by convection. Compute the value of the convection heat-transfer coefficient that must be maintained on the outer surface of the insulation to ensure that the outer-surface temperature does not exceed 41°C. B) A vertical square plate, 30 cm on a side, is maintained at 50°C and exposed to room air at 20°C. The surface emissivity is 0.8. Calculate the total heat lost by both sides of the plate.
