I do not know how to approach this problem
Consider a pool of saturated water at atmospheric pressure. The base of the pool is made of thick
polished copper square plate of length 1 m. To generate steam, exhaust gas is flowing underneath
and parallel to the base plate with velocity 3 m/s and average temperate of 1090°C. The bottom
surface the plate is at constant temperature of 110°. Use the properties of air for exhaust gas.
a) Determine the boiling heat transfer rate.
b) Determine the temperature of the top surface of the plate. Comment on the results.
c) Examine the impact of your assumptions on your solutions. (what will change if any of
the assumptions is not valid?)
-The axial deflection pipe in inches. -The lateral deflection of the beam in inches -The total deflection of the beam like structure in inches ?
all to 4 sig figs AI did not help. as i input what i get im not sure if its a rounding error or what.
