Consider a 1000-W iron whose base plate is made of 0.5-cm-thick aluminum alloy 2024-T6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 J/kg·°C). The base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. Initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°C. Assuming 90 percent of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 240°C.
The minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 240°C is s.
A desktop computer is to be cooled by a fan whose flow rate is 0.34 m3/min. Determine the mass flow rate of air through the fan at an elevation of 3400 m where the air density is 0.7 kg/m3. Also, if the average velocity of air is not to exceed 123 m/min, determine the diameter of the casing of the fan.
The mass flow rate of air through the fan is kg/min.
The diameter of the casing of the fan is cm.
The diffuser in a jet engine is designed to decrease the kinetic energy of the air entering the engine compressor without any work or heat interactions. Calculate the velocity at the exit of a diffuser when air at 100 kPa and 30°C enters it with a velocity of 359 m/s and the exit state is 200 kPa and 90°C. The specific heat of air at the average temperature of 60°C = 333 K is cp = 1.007 kJ/kg·K.
The velocity at the exit is m/s
