n electric generator at a power plant produces energy by passing superheated steam from a high temperature container (reservoir), through a pipe connected to a series of fans, and then into a low temperature reservoir. As the steam passes across the blades of the fans some of the heat energy of the steam is transformed into mechanical energy, which turns the fans which in turn are connected to a generator, which in turn converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
If the high temperature steam has a temperature of 412.1 K and the low temperature reservoir has a temperature of 105.4 K, what is the Carnot efficiency of this process?
You are designing an enclosure which houses a PCB. Mounted outside the enclosure on its top is a set of aluminum fins, as seen in the sketch below. The enclosure (and fins) are 150mm deep long. There is no forced airflow.
Neglect the thickness of the enclosure walls. Neglect heat transfer out of the sides and bottom of the enclosure.
If the PCB produces 4000 W/m2:
a) Most industrial-grade ICs have a maximum temperature of 85oC. If you must keep your PCB below this what is the maximum thermal resistance from the PCB to the air surrounding the fins? Assume the air around the fins stays at room temperature.
b) If the top of the enclosure (and bottom of the fin base) runs at 50°?, what is the effective thermal conductivity above the PCB? Hint: Because the air inside the enclosure is trapped and heats up, any air properties NOT given below are calculated at the average air temperature (T1+T2)/2.
c) What is the temperature at the base of the fins?
d) What is the efficiency of the fins?

Part A
A flow-through electric water heater has a 22 kW
electric heater inside an insulated 2.0-cm-diameter
pipe so that water flowing through the pipe will have
good thermal contact with the heater. Assume that
all the heat energy is transferred to the water.
Suppose the inlet water temperature is 12°C and
the flow rate is 8.0 L/min (about that of a
standard shower head).
What is the outlet temperature?
Express your answer in degrees Celsius.

- I was given this solution, Please advise on the solutionarrow_forwardShow step-by-step solution and schematic diagram if possible. Thank you.arrow_forwardThe author and his then 6-year-old son have conducted the following experiment to determine the thermal conductivity of a hot dog. They first boiled water in a large pan and measured the temperature of the boiling water to be 94°C, which is not surprising, since they live at an elevation of about 1650 m in Reno, Nevada. They then took a hot dog that is 12.5 cm long and 2.2 cm in diameter and inserted a thermocouple into the midpoint of the hot dog and another thermocouple just under the skin. They waited until both thermocouples read 20°C, which is the ambient temperature. They then dropped the hot dog into boiling water and observed the changes in both temperatures. Exactly 2 min after the hot dog was dropped into the boiling water, they recorded the center and the surface temperatures to be 59°C and 88°C, respectively. The density of the hot dog can be taken to be 980 kg/m3, which is slightly less than the density of water, since the hot dog was observed to be floating in water while…arrow_forward

Would the answer be different if the wafer has a mass greater than 3 grams? Note: the specific heat of copper is 387 J/(kg*K).

The surrounding temperature is T_sur=35˚C and the emissivityis ε=0.95.

The fuel used in this will be UO2 and there is a thin layer of helium that will separate the fuel from the cladding material. The user input parameters will be: the thermal neutron flux at the core, thermal conductivity of fuel, thermal conductivity of helium, thermal conductivity of the cladding, thickness of the helium layer, thickness of the cladding, diameter of the fuel pellet, fuel rod location (r), Cylindrical Reactor Size, and the fuel enrichment.
