Air at 1 atm and 80 ºC is used for the fluidization of catalyst pellets in 2.5 mm diameter in a vertical cylindrical reactor. The density of the catalyst particles is 3000 kg/m3. The catalyst particles have a sphericity (Øs) of 0.8 and . What should be the minimum limit of the air velocity? Explain the reasons
b) If the air flow rate is 45000 kg/h and the operational air velocity is 1.5 Vt, what should be the reactor diameter? Viscosity of air is 2.1x10-5 kg/m.s

A roller coaster starts from rest at A, rolls down the track to B, describes a circular loop of 12-m diameter, and travels up and down past point E. Assume that there is no energy loss due to friction. Given: h = 20 m. Shoe the free body diagrams at points B,D, and E. Determine the force exerted by his seat by a 80 kg rider at B and D and the minimum value of the radius of curvature at E if the roller coaster is not to leave the track at that point.

Consider the vertical rear window of an automobile that has a thickness L= 9 mm and height H=0.5 m with heating wires that create uniform volumetric heating. The window interior is exposed to ambient air at 10°C and the window exterior to air at -10°C which moves in parallel flow over the surface with a velocity of 20 m/s. The surface temperature of the window exterior is 12°C. Find the volumetric heating rate necessary to keep the window interior at 16°C. What is the convective heat flux for the interior and exterior of the window?

A white van is parked in the sun. The direct irradiance (Gdir) from the sun is 1065 W/m2 with an incidence angle of 20o from perpendicular to the roof of the van (area 3 m x 1.8 m). The roof has an absorptivity of 0.9 to solar radiation and emissivity of 0.2 to the surroundings (which have an effective temperature of 25oC). A gentle breeze of 25oC air blows over the van, with a speed of 6 m/s along the length of the van roof (3 m).
Assuming the bottom side of the roof is well insulated, calculate:
a) The convective heat transfer coefficient for the top surface of the roof of the van, assuming it is an isothermal flat plate and using the properties of air at 25oC.
b) The irradiance and the total radiative energy absorbed by the roof (assume Kirchoff's law applies for diffuse radiative transfer between the surroundings and the roof of the van).
c) The temperature of the roof of the van and its radiosity.
d) A supplier offers to apply a reflective coating that reduces the absorptivity at solar wavelengths to 0.7 but reduces the emissivity at ambient conditions to 0.05. Would you recommend this as a solution to reduce heat transfer to the van? Why or why not?

It is noteworthy that during a holiday trip, the water
is discharged from a high tank with a 30 cm diameter plastic pipe
into a stream in the valley, and the idea of generating power from
this water comes to your mind. The bird flight from the reservoir
stream is 100 m and the height difference between the free water
surface and the stream in the tank is 75 m.
(a) Show the relationship between the water flow in the pipe and
the power to be obtained for the power plant to be installed to
obtain power from this source by drawing the flow-power
graph.
(b) Calculate the required water flow to obtain the highest
power.

While cores increase the cost of castings, they also provide a number of distinct advantages. The most significant is the ability to produce complex internal passages. They can also enable the production of difficult external features, such as undercuts, or allow the production of zero draft walls. Cores can reduce or eliminate additional machining, reduce the weight of a casting, and reduce or eliminate the need for multi-piece assembly. Answer the following questions about cores.
