Chapter 3, Problem 3.56P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The observed manometer reading is to be calculated, if the manometer fluid is (i) mercury, (ii) water and the preferred manometer fluid is to be identified with an explanation.

Concept introduction:

For manometer fluid as mercury the net equation for pressure is written as,

ρtg(500h+Rm)=ρmgRm

For water the above equation is written as,

ρtg(500h+Rw)=ρwgRw

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

An explanation for the working of system if toluene is used as manometer fluid is to be stated and several advantages of mercury fluid over toluene is to be stated

Concept introduction:

Manometer is a device used to measure pressure of gas or vapor at low levels. It is helpful in differentiating static and dynamic pressures. Its shape may be U-tube, inverted or a single tube.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The purpose of nitrogen blanket to be stated.

Steam at atmospheric pressure (Tsat = 100oC, hfg = 2.257×106 J/kg) is in contact with a horizontal tube through which a cooling fluid is circulated. The tube has 0.0334 m outside diameter, 1 m length, and an outside-surface temperature that is maintained at 60oC. Determine the rate of heat that the cooling fluid must remove and the condensation rate. For water at average temperature, ρ L = 974 kg/m3, k = 0.668 W/m·K, ρ v = 0.516 kg/m3, ν L = 0.364×10-6m2/s. g =9.81 m/s2.
Surface A1 of the system shown in the figure below is a graybody with emissivity of 0.56 andsurface A2 is a blackbody.Can you determine view factors F1-2 and F2-1. And draw an analogous electrical circuit based on Ohm’s law and determine the net radiation heat transfer from surface A1 to surface A2 if T1 = 500oC and T2 = 27oC. For the graybody, α = ε. Stefan-Boltzmann constant, σ = 5.676 × 10-8 W/m2·K4.
An aluminum saucepan has a handle that is fixed to its wall. The handle itself is made of low carbon steel, and will have a plastic grip attached to it that is comfortable to grasp. Before selecting a plastic, it is necessary to have information on the temperature of the carbon steel handle. The carbon steel handle can be considered as a rod 11 mm in diameter and 45 mm long. When being used over a stove burner, the ambient temperature T∞ is 30 oC, and the temperature at the base of the handle reaches T0 = 100 oC. The convective heat transfer coefficient h is 8 W/m2·K and k = 43 W/m·K for low carbon steel. Can you derive the differential equation for the temperature of handle with x as a spatial variable and determine the temperature of handle at the position of 40 mm from the base. Using the general solution attached.   Also Can you determine the total heat transfer rate (q) from the handle using the above temperature profile equation and determine the total heat transfer rate (q) from…
