Explanation of Solution

Root locus is a plot of system’s closed loop poles which is defined in terms of gain. From the root locus plot, the closed loop system stability is obtained for a given open loop transfer function for a unity feedback system. The plot of root locus is represented on a graph and it determines the behaviour of roots that changes with the change in gain of a system. Along with stability, it is also used to determine the damping ratio as well as natural frequency of the feedback system. Root locus can be obtained for both positive and negative feedback system.

A hot surface at 150°C is to be cooled by attaching 3-cm-long, 0.25-cm-diameter aluminum pin fins (k = 237 W/m-K) to it, with a center- to-center distance of 0.6 cm. The temperature of the surrounding medium is 30°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 35 W/m²K. Determine the rate of heat transfer from the surface for a 1-m × 1-m section of the plate. Also determine the overall effectiveness of the fins. 0.6 cm 0.25 cm The total rate of heat transfer is kW. The fin effectiveness is
Consider a stainless steel spoon (k = 8.7 Btu/h·ft·°F) partially immersed in boiling water at 200°F in a kitchen at 75°F. The handle of the spoon has a cross section of 0.08 in × 0.5 in and extends 7 in in the air from the free surface of the water. The heat transfer coefficient at the exposed surfaces of the spoon handle is 3 Btu/h·ft2·°F.   NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.  A spoon is placed inside the container, such that the distance of the water level from the top end of the handle of the spoon is 7 meters.
