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

Determine the required size (area, nominal diameter, and Bar No.) of the three reinforcing steel bars used in a 9 in. wide and 12 in. deep concrete beam to assure the beam fails in compression of the concrete and the steel reinforcement reaches its yield strength at the same load. Assume that the ultimate compressive strength of the concrete is 4,000 psi and the yield strength of the steel is 30,000 psi.

A plane wall has thickness of 5 cm, thermal conductivity of 2 W/mK and generates heat. The left face of the wall (x=0) has a surface temp. of 80C and has air at 20C flowing past it with a heat transfer coefficient of 50 W/m^2K. If the right face is insulated then the temperature distribution through the wall has a general format T(x)=A+B*x+C*x^2
(a) Draw a properly labeled diagram (including a representative temperature distribution), state all assumptions and calculate the volumetric energy generation in the wall.
(b) Apply appropriate boundary conditions to determine the coefficients A, B, and C for the temperature distribution through the wall.

A solar collector design consists of an inner tube enclosed concentrically in an outer tube that is transparent to solar radiation. The tubes are thin walled with inner and outer diameters of 0.08 and 0.10 m, respectively. The annular space between the tubes is completely enclosed and filled with air at atmospheric pressure. Under operating conditions for which the inner and outer tube surface temperatures are 80 and 30°C, respectively, what is the rate of convective heat loss per meter of tube length across the air space?
