As part of a waste heat recovery system, they want to use this for internal heating and cooling. The effluent is flown through a system where its temperature remains at 303.15 K. A 0.06-m diameter pipe carrying hot water and 0.04-m diameter pipe carrying cold air is passed through this effluent chamber. It can be assumed that the surface temperature of these air and water pipes are same as the effluent temperature. Water comes in at 328.15 K and exits at 308.15 K. The air comes in at 268.15 K and exits at 298.15 K. The mass flow rate of water and air is respectively, 1 kg/s and 0.01 kg/s. Determine the length of the water and air pipes in the system.

- Two engines have cylinders which are geometrically the same in size and shape. The cylinders of engine A are surrounded with a normal water jacket filled with a water-ethylene glycol solution. The cylinders of engine B are insulated, making this an adiabatic engine. Other than temperatures, the engines are operated with the same steady-state conditions (as much as possible).

Why?arrow_forwardThe hot water coming out of a hydrothermal vent is sometimes called vent fluid. Why would you and I find these vent fluids to be an unpleasant thing to be exposed to? a They are some of the coldest fluids on Earth, being much colder than the normal freezing point of water. b They can be up to 400 degrees Celsius, and contain dissolved compounds like hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and methane. c The vent fluids are actually an exotic type of magma, made of silicate minerals. d They are actually ultra-pure water, with nothing at all dissolved in them; so pure that even simple cells will die due to the lack of nutrients in the fluids.arrow_forwardA copper rod of 30 kg initially at the temperature of 300 °C needs to be immersed and fitted tightly into a ABA alloy ring with inner diameter 30.0015 mm found in tank of 100 liters water of 25 °C.
