Estimate the heat transfer coefficient, h, associated with Points A, B, C, D, and E in Figure 10.4. Which point is associated with the largest value of h? Which point corresponds to the smallest value of h? Determine the thickness of the vapor blanket at the Leidenfrost point, neglecting radiation heat transfer through the blanket. Assume the solid is a flat surface.

- On a 5 day wilderness expedition you'll need to heat 3.0kg of water to the boiling point each day. The air temperature will average 25°C. You have available canisters of compressed propane C3H8 fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 100.g of propane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring? The standard heat of formation of propane at 25°C is −103.85/kJmol.arrow_forwardIndustrial pipes One of the ways to keep a pipe warm is by means of a steam tracer, through which an electrical resistance is used around the pipe and in a helical shape throughout its diameter?arrow_forwardneed soon all parts don't copy I will downvotearrow_forward
- Pre-lab 8: Cold Engine The experimental setup for this week's lab consists of a syringe connected to a metal can (reservoir), a cold bath (water - ice mixture) and a "hot" bath (water at room temperature). A schematics of the syringe - reservoir system is shown below. Plunger of mass m Filled with gas (air) Syringe of volume Vcor VH - Volume Vo includes tube + Metal can -Metal can submerged in water of temperature Тс or TH. Tube Stopper Figure 1: Schematic of the syringe - reservoir system. The syringe is essentially a glass cylinder fitted with a movable piston (plunger). The markings on the syringe indicate the volume of gas in the syringe, but do not include the additional, unknown volume, Vo, in the gas can and tubing.arrow_forwardTwo canisters A and B each contain 0.20 mol of a diatomic gas at 400 K and a pressure of 405300 Pa.

- An open tank, 6 mm in diameter, contains 1 mm deep layer of benzene (Mol wt = 78) at its bottom. The vapour pressure of benzene in the tank is 13.15 kN/m2 and its diffusion takes place through a stagnant air film 2.5 mm thick, At the operating temperature of 20°C, the diffusivity of benzene in the tank is 8.0 x 10-6 m2/s. If the benzene has a density of 880 kg/m³, calculate the time taken for the entire benzene to evaporate. Take atmospheric pressure as 101.3 kN/m² and neglect any resistance to diffusion of benzene beyond the air film. %3Darrow_forwardi need the answer quicklyarrow_forwardSaturated, pure steam at a temperature of 170 oC condenses on the outer surface of a vertical tube of outer diameter 2 cm and length 1.5 m.

- Volumetric expansion coefficients of simple materials are often well cataloged. However, the thermal expansion coefficient B of a human body is less well known. This could affect the human body's specific gravity and, therefore, measurements of its body-fat ratio. Suppose that a human body of weight wo on dry land is placed on a scale while completely immersed in formaldehyde of temperature T1- Once the temperature increases by AT, the scale reading drops by Aw. Derive an expression for ß in terms of AT, wo, and Aw by assuming that the ratio of the density of formaldehyde ef and the initial density of the body Po is R = Pf/pb. Assume also that pf does not change when heated. B = %3D If the body weighs 237.2 lb on dry land and his weight reading lowers by 0.237 lb when the formaldehyde is heated from 63.40 °F to 82.80 °F, calculate the coefficient of volume expansion of the body.* Assume R = 0.820. 1/°C B =arrow_forwardWater is to be boiled at atmospheric pressure in a polished copper pan placed on top of a heating unit.
