A double-pipe heat exchanger is used to condense steam at 40°C saturation temperature. Water at an average bulk temperature of 20°C flows at 2 m/s through the inner tube (copper, 2.54 cm ID, 3.05 cm OD). Steam at its saturation temperature flows in the annulus formed between the outer surface of the inner tube and outer tube of 6 cm ID. The average heat transfer coefficient of the condensing steam is 6,000 W/m2 ? K, and the thermal resistance of a surface scale on the outer surface of the copper pipe is 0.000176 m2 ? K/W. a. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient between the steam and the water based on the outer area of the copper tube. b. Evaluate the temperature at the inner surface of the tube. c. Estimate the length required to condense 0.5 kg/s of steam.

The US Postal Service has recently commissioned a study of the effects of 3d printing on its business. Some were pessimistic, saying 3d printing would be bad for the postal service, while others were optimistic, saying that 3d printing would be a boom to the postal service. Why do you suppose informed people could hold such divergent views?

A beam is subjected to equal bending moments M = 6.5 kip-ft, as shown. The cross-section of the beam is also shown. The top rectangular area (1) has cross-section dimensions b1 x d1, as shown, where b1 = 6.5 in. and d1 =1.50 in. The left and right rectangular legs (2) and (3) are of dimensions b2 x d2 as shown, where b2=0.75 in. and d2=6.0 in. Determine: (a) the centroid location, the moment of inertia about the z axis, and the controlling section modulus about the z axis. (b) the bending stress at point H, which is located yH = 1.0 in. below the z centroidal axis. State whether the normal stress at H is tension or compression.
