Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.11P
A concentrating solar collector consists of a parabolic reflector and a collector tube of diameter D, through which flows a working fluid that is heated with concentrated solar irradiation. Throughout the day, the reflector is slowly repositioned to track the sun. For wind conditions characterized by a steady, horizontal flow normal to the tube axis, the local heat transfer coefficient on the tube surface varies, as shown in the schematic for various reflector positions.
- Estimate the value of the average heat transfer coefficient over the entire collector tube surface for each of the three cases.
- Assuming the tube receives the same amount of solar irradiation in each case, which case would have the highest collector efficiency?

The 2-mass system shown below depicts a disk which rotates about its center and has rotational
moment of inertia Jo and radius r. The angular displacement of the disk is given by 0. The spring
with constant k₂ is attached to the disk at a distance from the center. The mass m has linear
displacement & and is subject to an external force u. When the system is at equilibrium, the spring
forces due to k₁ and k₂ are zero. Neglect gravity and aerodynamic drag in this problem. You may
assume the small angle approximation which implies (i) that the springs and dampers remain in
their horizontal / vertical configurations and (ii) that the linear displacement d of a point on the
edge of the disk can be approximated by d≈re.

A linear system is one that satisfies the principle of superposition. In other words, if an input u₁
yields the output y₁, and an input u2 yields the output y2, the system is said to be linear if a com-
bination of the inputs u = u₁ + u2 yield the sum of the outputs y = y1 + y2.
Using this fact, determine the output y(t) of the following linear system:

The manometer fluid in the figure given below is mercury where D = 3 in and h = 1 in. Estimate the volume flow in the tube (ft3/s) if the flowing fluid is gasoline at 20°C and 1 atm. The density of mercury and gasoline are 26.34 slug/ft3 and 1.32 slug/ft3 respectively. The gravitational force is 32.2 ft/s2.
