Air at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 50°C is in parallel flow over the top surface of a flat plate that is heated to a uniform temperature of 100°C. The plate has a length of 0.24 m (in the flow direction) and a width of 0.12 m. The Reynolds number based on the plate length is 30,000. (a) What is the rate of heat transfer from the plate to the air? (b) If the free stream velocity of the air is doubled and the pressure is increased to 10 atm, what is the rate of heat transfer? Assume the critical Reynolds number is 5 x 105.

Determine the rate of heat transfer for (a), in W.
q a =  

Determine the rate of heat transfer for (b), in W.

The floating caliper brake used in the front car wheel is shown in the following figures. The caliper supports a single floating piston actuated by hydraulic pressure. Two annular pads, ri=100 mm, ro=140mm, subtend an angle of 110°, have a coefficient of friction of 0.4, and are actuated by a pair of hydraulic cylinders 40mm in diameter. The torque requirement is 1350 N.m. For uniform wear (a) Find the largest normal pressure pa. (b) Estimate the actuating force F. (c) Find the equivalent radius re and force location r. (d) Estimate the required hydraulic pressure.

10.Which of the following was advanced as an argument for social responsibility?

Most organisations have social objectives implied in their legal purposes.

When social consequences are involved, managers are quite capable of making the right decisions.

Unless an organisation has social goals, it should avoid them.

11. The main difference between utilitarianism and rights theories is:

utilitarianism establishes a minimum level of morally acceptable behavior, whereas rights theories emphasize the greatest good for the greatest number.

utilitarianism focuses on attaining a fair and equitable distribution of economic goods and services, whereas rights theories emphasize the greatest good for the greatest number.

utilitarianism holds that the moral worth of actions or practices is determined by their consequences, whereas rights theories recognize that human beings have fundamental rights and privileges.
