Explanation of Solution

The point to point method is the method which is used to install the circuit components in the control circuit. The wire numbers are given in this method to the wires of the control circuit but not the load circuit. Where all the components are located in the motor circuit and are represented by the dashed lines.

The advantages of the point to point method is that this method is used to show the actual position of the wire of the component that reduces the wastage of the wire.

The component that are insider the control circuit and the outside the circuit can easily be distinguished.

Also, the point to point method show the designation of the wires and the tags.

In this method the troubleshooting and the servicing is easy as the wire numbers are given to the wire, also the components are easy to be identified as the wires are tagged and labelled.

Thus, the advantage of the point to point method is described.

A hot surface at 150°C is to be cooled by attaching 3-cm-long, 0.25-cm-diameter aluminum pin fins (k = 237 W/m-K) to it, with a center- to-center distance of 0.6 cm. The temperature of the surrounding medium is 30°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 35 W/m²K. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the surface for a 1-m × 1-m section of the plate. Also determine the overall effectiveness of the fins. 0.6 cm 0.25 cm The total rate of heat transfer is kW. The fin effectiveness is
Consider a stainless steel spoon (k = 8.7 Btu/h·ft·°F) partially immersed in boiling water at 200°F in a kitchen at 75°F. The handle of the spoon has a cross section of 0.08 in × 0.5 in and extends 7 in in the air from the free surface of the water. The heat transfer coefficient at the exposed surfaces of the spoon handle is 3 Btu/h·ft2·°F.   NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.  A spoon is placed inside the container, such that the distance of the water level from the top end of the handle of the spoon is 7 meters.
