You are looking to start a business after you inherited a rolling setup, like the one from problem 2. You did a test run and measured P = 250kW, you will use this next. Also, you call you local power provider in Colorado and fin that the energy cost is 11.2 cents/kWh.

From a metal producer, you can buy 3/8” thick by 12” wide 6061 aluminum in 36 ft lengths. These are delivered to your warehouse at a cost of $1169 each.

You decide to buy the 38” sheet and roll it into 1/4” a sheet. You hire a shop worker to do this and he charges $35/hr. You also need to add $20/hr overhead.

You want to sell 4 feet long sheet and you shop worker needs 2mins to cut the rolled sheet into the 4 feet lengths and place then on a pallet for shipment.

                                                        

Question: McMaster-Carr sells 1/4” x 12” x 48” sheets for $93.79, will you be able to sell yours for less? What is your cost per 1/4” plate? Show your work.

1. Engine oil (cp = 2100 J/kg-°C) is to be heated from 20 °C to 60 °C at a rate of 0.3 kg/s in a 2-cmdiameter thin-walled copper tube by condensing steam outside at a temperature of 130 °C (hfg = 2174 kJ/kg).

a. For an overall heat transfer coefficient of 650 W/m2 -°C, determine the rate of heat transfer and the length of tube required to achieve it. Determine also the rate of steam condensation, in kgsteam/sec. (Ans: 25.2 kW; 7.0 m)

b. What would the tube length have to be if we wanted to heat the oil to 100 °C in the same 2-cm diameter tube and at the same flow rate? How about heating to 120 °C?

Q2. Two kilograms of air within a piston-cylinder configuration execute a Carnot power cycle between temperatures 750 K and 300 K. The isothermal expansion is associated with a release of 60 kJ of heat into the surroundings. The volume after expansion has occurred isothermally is 0.4 m3 . Assuming air behaves as an ideal gas, calculate: (i) thermal efficiency for the cycle (ii) pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, in kPa and m3 , respectively. (iii) the work and heat transfer for each of the four processes, in kJ.

Engine oil (raffinate) with a flow rate of 5 kg/s will be cooled from 60°C to 40°C by sea water at 20°C in a double-pipe heat exchanger. The water flows through the inner tube, whose outlet is heated to 30°C. The inner tube outside and inside diameters are do = 1.315 in. (= 0.0334 m) and di = 1.049 in. (= 0.02664 m), respectively. For the annulus, Do = 4.5 in. (= 0.1143 m) and Di = 4.206 in. (= 0.10226 m). The length of the hairpin is fixed at 3 m. The wall temperature is 35°C. The number of the tubes in the annulus is 3. The thermal conductivity of the tube wall is 43 W/m ? K. Calculate: a. The heat transfer coefficient in the annulus b. The overall heat transfer coefficient c. The pressure drop in the annulus and inner tube (only straight sections will be considered) d. What is your decision as an engineer? How can you improve the design?
