You are using a silver spoon to stir water that just started boiling so that you can achieve a more even heat distribution in your water. The spoon is partially immersed in boiling water and a thermometer in your kitchen reads 27 °C. The handle of the spoon has a cross section of 2mm × 1cm and extends 15 cm in the air from the free surface of the water. The heat transfer coefficient at the exposed surfaces of the spoon handle is 3 W/m2 ×K. Part A : Determine the temperature difference across the exposed surface of the spoon handle. Follow the problem-solving guide on the front page. At the minimum, your analysis should answer the following questions providing detailed justifications:
1. What are the modes of heat transfer that the spoon is exposed to?
2. Is this a time dependent or steady state problem? Why or why not?
3. Is this a 1-D, 2-D or 3-D problem? Why or why not?
4. What is the thermal conductivity of the material? Can you assume it constant and if so, for what ranges?
5. The heat transfer coefficient is a function of many variables. Discuss the variables and whether the heat transfer coefficient can be assumed to be constant.

Water is to be heated from 12◦C to 70◦C as it flows through a 2 centimeter internal diameter, 7 meter long tube. The tube is equipped with an electric resistance heater, which provides uniform heating throughout the surface of the tube. The outer surface of the heater is well insulated, so that in steady operation all of the heat generated in the heater is transferred to the water in the tube. If the system is to provide hot water at a rate of 8 L/min, determine the power rating of the resistence heater. Also, estimate the inner surface temperature of the pipe at the exit.

Consider a steam power plant that operates on a reheat Rankine
cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW.
Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and the
low-pressure turbine at 1 MPa and 500°C. Steam leaves the condenser
as a saturated liquid at a pressure of 10 kPa. The isentropic
efficiency of the turbine is 80 percent, and that of the pump is 95
percent. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation
lines, and determine (a) the quality (or temperature, if
superheated) of the steam at
the turbine exit, (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and (c)
the mass flow rate of the steam.k

A new refrigerator is being designed. Magnets will be used to hold the door closed, and the rubber seal thickness can be selected to adjust the separation between the magnets (and therefore the force). The total length of rubber seal required to go around the door is 6m, and the cost of rubber seal is given equation 2. The pull force when opening the door should be 12N. Determine which of the magnet combinations should be used, and the combined cost of the magnets and seals per refrigerator.

A ship is fitted with six-cylinder CI engine of 75 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. The engine has a brake power output of 110 kW at 370 rpm. The volumetric efficiency at this operating condition, referred to ambient conditions, of 1.013 bar and 20˚C is 80%. You have just fitted a mechanically driven supercharger which has isentropic efficiency of 0.7 and the pressure ration of 1.6. The supercharged version of the engine has a volumetric efficiency of 100% referred to supercharged delivery pressure and temperature. It is assumed that the indicated power developed, per unit volume flow rate of induced air at ambient, is the same for normal and supercharged engine. Determine the net increase in brake power to be expected from the supercharged engine. Take the mechanical efficiency of the engine to be 80% in both cases and mechanical efficiency of the drive from the engine to supercharger as 95%.
