Electrical current passes through a horizontal. 2-mm- diameter conductor of emissivity 0.5 when immersed in water under atmospheric pressure.
(a) Estimate the power dissipation per unit length of the conductor required to maintain the surface temperature at 555°C.
(b) For conductor diameters of 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 mm, compute and plot the power dissipation per unit length as a function of surface temperature for

- A liquid is heated from 20 to 70 oC as it flows at 0.025 kg/s through a steel tube of 10 mm and 12m long. A uniform heat flux is maintained on the tube surface. Using the following liquid properties ρ = 1000 kg/m3, Cp = 4100 J/kg.K, k = 0.45 W/m.K, Pr = 10, μ = 2x10-3 kg/s.m. Calculate the average heat flux on the tube. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient at end of tube Calculate the surface temperature at exit and the heat transfer coefficient for first 1m of pipe?arrow_forwardA manufacturing plant produces an efluent as a waste product. 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. Convert all calculations to C.arrow_forwardRead the question carefully and give me right solution with clear calculations. Note : careful with given valuesarrow_forward

- 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). (a) Which engine has higher volumetric efficiency? Why? (b) Which engine has higher thermal efficiency? Why? (c) Which engine has hotter exhaust? Why? (d) Which engine would be more difficult to lubricate? Why? (e) Which engine would be a better SI engine?
