A hot liquid is filled in a spherical tank with an inner
diameter of 3 m and a wall thickness of 3 cm. The tank wall is made
of a material with a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W/m∙K. The hot
liquid in the tank causes the inner surface temperature to be
100°C, while the tank outer surface is exposed to air at 20°C and
has an emissivity of 0.35. Determine the outer surface temperature
of the tank. Assume that the properties of air can be evaluated at
40°C and 1 atm pressure. Is this a good assumption?

HEAT TRANSFER QUESTION
A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with one shell pass and four tube passes, that contains 190 pipes (thin walled, 4m long, 2.6 cm diameter), will be used to heat the air. Water enters the pipes at 350 K with 8kg/s mass flow rate while the air enters the shell at 15 C with 18kg/s mass flow rate. In time there will be a fouling factor of 0.0026m2K/W on the inside of pipes. Inside heat transfer coefficient is 450 W/m2K, outside heat transfer coefficient is 200 W/m2K. Using the specific heat values for water and air at 25 C.

Two equal-length springs are “nested” together in order to form a shock absorber. If it is designed to arrest the motion of a 2-kg mass that is dropped above the top of the springs from an at-rest position, and the maximum compression of the springs is to be 0.2 m, determine the required stiffness of the inner spring, K B if the outer spring has a stiffness k A = 400 N/m

A wet cooling tower is to cool 25 kg/sec of cooling water from 40oC to 25oC at a location where the atmospheric pressure remains constant at 97 kPa. Atmospheric air enters the tower at 25oC and 65% relative humidity and leaves saturated at 35oC. Neglecting the power input to the fan, determine the mass flow rate of the required makeup water.
