Chapter 2, Problem 2.53P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation A.1-6 should be derived for the slope of the line by using the expression for the vertical distance, di from the ith data point. The expression for should be determined by finding the differentiating the value of a that minimizes this function.

Concept introduction:

Let (x1 ,y1 ),(x2 ,y2 ),........(xn , yn ) to be n data points in a given data set. It is given that a trend line should be drawn through the origin using these data points. The standard format of a line through the origin is y = ax where “a” is the slope and use the method of least square to derive the equation. In addition, when calculating the slope of the line use the vertical distance di from the ith data point (x, yi ) to the line then find the value of a that minimizes this function.

Hydrogen (H₂) is considered a clean energy carrier. For its use as a fuel, hydrogen is stored at 5 bar insidea cylindrical tank made of nickel (Ni) with 7 cm inner diameter, 1.2 mm thickness, and the length of L. Thetank is maintained at 358 K. Unfortunately, a small amount of hydrogen diffuses out of the tank, slowlydepleting its contents. You may assume that the hydrogen pressure outside the tank is essentially zero andconvective resistance inside and outside of the cylinder is negligible.• Solubility of H2 in Ni at 358 K = 0.00901 kmol/m3·bar• DH2, Ni at 358 K = 1.2 x 10-12 m2/sCalculate the maximum length of the nickel tank wall to ensure that the hydrogen loss does not exceed0.01 kg per year.
You just took out a cold soda can (at 1 oC) from the refrigerator. Calculate thetemperature of the soda can after the can is placed in a room (at 31 oC, h = 100 W/m2-K) for 60 mins (we all know that soda tastes much better when it is cold!). • k = 0.617 W/m-K, density = 996 kg/m3, Cp = 4178 J/Kg-K• Height = 10 cm & Diameter = 5 cmCalculate the temperature of the soda can surface at the middle point of the heightusing 2-D analysis.
