An AISI 1010 carbon steel plate of 1 by 1 m size and of 6 mm thickness is hung vertically after a heat treatment to 300°C uniform temperature. It is cooled by ambient air at 20°C flowing parallel to the plate in transverse direction.

a) Considering both forced and natural convection, for 8 m/s transverse air velocity, determine the rate of heat transfer from the plate and the corresponding instantaneous rate of change of the plate temperature.

b) For the transverse air velocities in 1-15 m/s range, plot the heat transfer coefficients from the plate associated with forced convection, natural convection and mixed convection on the same graph.

5 t/hr of soybean oil is pumped through a smooth stainless steel pipe 5 cm in diameter at 30C.

A) What will the coefficient of friction be?

B) If by heating the oil its viscosity can be reduced by a factor of 5 and its density by 5%, how will the fraction be affected?

C) Suppose the pipe is not smooth as originally thought. how would the assumed fraction be affected?

D) If the pumping distance were extended by 50% and the pipe's diameter changed to 7 cm, how will the pressure drop (as a result of friction) be affected?

A transformer that is 10 cm long, 6.2 cm wide, and 5 cm high is to be cooled by attaching a 10 cm x 6.2 cm wide gold heat sink to its top surface. The heat sink has seven fins, which are 5 mm high, 2 mm thick, and 10 cm long. A fan blows air at 25°C with a velocity of 6 m/s parallel to the passages between the fins. The heat sink is to dissipate 12 W of heat and the base temperature of the heat sink is not to exceed 45 °C to maintain safe operation. Is this design enough to cool the transformer to safe levels?

 I have to write a review paper of one measurement technique (any device you feel interested in or have experience with), which could be what I have learned in Mechanical Measurement course.
The main content should include how it operates, its application, changes in design with time, and future direction. Although I have to focus on recent and future development.

Would you give me any examples of devices or suggest essay topics ?

Describe the mathematical models of the boundary value problem to evaluate the elastic deflection of the beam based on Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko theories with finite difference discretisation (for numerical integration and differentiation)

Exhaust gases from a manufacturing plant are being discharged through a 10-m-tall exhaust stack with outer diameter of 1.2 m. The exhaust gases are discharged at a rate of 1.2 kg/s, while temperature drop between inlet and exit of the exhaust stack is 30°C, and the constant pressure specific heat of the exhaust gasses is 1600 J/kg·K. On a particular day, wind at 27°C is blowing across the exhaust stack with a velocity of 10 m/s, while the outer surface of the exhaust stack experiences radiation with the surrounding at 27°C. Solar radiation is incident on the exhaust stack outer surface at a rate of 1400 W/m2, and both the emissivity and solar absorptivity of the outer surface are 0.9. Determine the exhaust stack outer surface temperature in oC. The properties of air at 80°C are k = 0.02953 W/m?K, v = 2.097 × 10?5 m2/s, and Pr = 0.7154. (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)

The machine repair model may often be used to approximate the behavior of a computer’s CPU (central processing unit). Suppose that 20 terminals (assumed to always be busy) feed the CPU. After the CPU responds to a user, he or she takes an average of 80 seconds before sending another request to the CPU (this is called the think time). The CPU takes an average of 2 seconds to respond to any request.

On the average, how long will a user have to wait before the CPU acts on his or her request? How will your answer change if there are 30 terminals? 40 terminals?

Of course, you must make appropriate assumptions about exponentiality to answer this question

Kevin Clearing is the engineering manager for the Verdant County Road Commission (VCRC). VCRC has primary responsibility for maintaining the safety of county roads. Verdant County's population has increased by 30% in the past 10 years. This has resulted in increased traffic flow on many secondary roads in the area. Forest Drive, still a two lane road, has more than doubled its traffic flow during this period. It is now one of the main arteries leading into Verdant City, an industrial and commercial center of more than 60,000 people. For each of the past 7 years at least one person has suffered a fatal automobile accident by crashing into trees closely aligned along a 3 mile stretch of Forest Drive. Many other accidents have also occurred, causing serious injuries, wrecked cars, and damaged trees. Some of the trees are quite close to the pavement. Two law suits have been filed against the road commission for not maintaining sufficient road safety along this 3 three mile stretch. Both were dismissed because the drivers were going well in excess of the 45 mph speed limit. Other members of VCRC have been pressing Kevin Clearing to come up with a solution to the traffic problem on Forest Drive. They are concerned about safety, as well as law suits that may some day go against VCRC. Clearing now has a plan -- widen the road. Unfortunately, this will require cutting down about 30 healthy, longstanding trees along the road. Clearing's plan is accepted by VCRC and announced to the public. Immediately a citizen environmental group forms and registers a protest. Tom Richards, spokesperson for the group, complains, "These accidents are the fault of careless drivers. Cutting down trees to protect drivers from their own carelessness symbolizes the destruction of our natural environment for the sake of human 'progress.' It's time to turn things around. Sue the drivers if they don't drive sensibly. Let's preserve the natural beauty and ecological integrity around us while we can." Many letters on both sides of the issue appear in the Verdant Press, the issue is heatedly discussed on local TV, and Tom Richards presents VCRC with a petition to save the trees signed by 150 local citizens.

A 20ft x 20ft metal building has a steel roof that reaches a temperature of 140^o F on a hot day. A cool front then moves in such that air at 60^oF sweeps horizontally across the roof at a velocity of 10 ft/s. Assuming the roof temperature remains at a constant 140^oF for a time, determine:

a) the point at which the flow becomes turbulent (in feet)

b) the average heat transfer coefficient for the roof (in BTU/hr*ft^2*F)

An industrial process is using river water to cool 10⁵ kg/h of saturated steam in a heat exchanger at 0.1 bar. The cooled steam exits the heat exchanger as a saturated liquid at the same pressure of 0.1 bar to be used in the process. The river water has a volumetric flow rate of 500 ft³/s and is the coolant in the heat exchanger., having properties close to pure water (i.e., density – 1000 kg/m³). It exists the heat exchanger with the same mass flow rate, and is returned to the river, but at a higher temperature. The river water on a hot summer day is 20 ⁰C at the heat exchanger inlet, and near the mixing point of the discharged water from the heat exchanger. Operation is at steady state and kinetic and potential energy can be neglected. Since a higher river temperature results in lower dissolved oxygen there may be a risk of killing fish or even “stressing” them. For example, rainbow trout stop growing at sustained river temperatures of 73°F (23° C), and die at about 80 ⁰F (27 ⁰C). Should the owner of this industrial process be concerned for the fishes and local fisherman’s livelihood? Please comment by calculating the temperature rise of the river at the heat exchanger’s exit that discharges into the river.

Hint: properties of the saturated and compressed water can be found in tables: Table A-3 and Table A-5.
