A thermocouple (TC) reads a temperature of 180 degrees C when placed in a large wind tunnel. The thermocouple is exposed to convection and radiation heat transfer.

  • The convection heat transfer coefficient h = 125 W/m2-K.
  • As for radiation, the surface of the thermocouple is diffuse and gray with an emissivity of 0.6. The walls of the wind tunnel are at a uniform temperature of 450 degrees C.

Questions:

  1. Provide a sketch
  2. State your assumptions
  3. Calculate the temperature of the air in the wind tunnel
  4. The walls of the duct have an emissivity of 0.85. Explain in one or two sentences why the emissivity of the walls should (or should not) have an effect on your answer?

Develop a simple MIS (Management Information System) that consists of a simple database (a text file). The system manages to dynamically input record/data into the database. The data from the database can be sorted, searched and updated. User also should be able to add new records/data, remove any data and etc.
Here are some ideas of MIS that can be developed:
1. Hotel reservation system.
2. Students management system.
3. Payroll management system.
4. Bus/Railway/Plane ticketing system.

Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the condensor of a two-stage compression refrigeration cycle (in kg/s). The fraction of the refrigerant that evaporates as it is throttled to the flash chamber is 0.19. The enthalpy of the refrigerant entering the evaporator is 55.14 kJ/kg and the enthalpy of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator is 239.19 kJ/kg. The amount of heat removed from the refrigerated space is 28 kW. (Round your answer to three decimal places).

  1. One important point for an automobile radiator design is to cool the engine while moving at 50 km/h on a 7% grade road in a desert summer condition. Your responsibility as a design engineer is to make sure that the coolant (water in this case, since it is the hot summer time, no antifreeze is needed) temperature at the radiator inlet does not exceed the saturation temperature of water at this point. Consider a radiator that can be approached as a cross – flow heat exchanger with both fluids unmixed and working under the following conditions:

The manometer reading at the radiator water inlet is 100 kPa (the gage pressure!) where the local atmospheric pressure is also 100 kPa.

The engine heat rejection rate: q = 40 kW.

For air; flow rate 2700 kg/h, inlet temperature 52 , specific heat 1008 J/kg.K.

For water; flow rate 5130 kg/h, specific heat 4244 J/kg.K.

For the radiator UA = 1134 W/K.

  1. Determine the water inlet and outlet temperatures and air outlet temperature from the radiator. (15 P)
  2. Determine the logarithmic mean temperature difference correction factor F and estimate the value of corrected logarithmic mean temperature difference for the radiator. (10 P)
  3. Neglecting the pressure losses within the radiator, determine whether the design is safe or not against overheating (against boiling within the radiator). (15 P)
  4. One effective way of obtaining safe operating conditions against radiator overheating may be increasing fan power to obtain higher air flow rates. If your findings for Part c) indicate unsafe operating conditions, determine the minimum air flow rate that ensures safe operation against the radiator overheating. To do this, increase the air flow rate with 90 kg/h intervals, until yuo reach safe operating conditions, while keeping the other parameters fixed at the above given values. (15 P)

  1. Using the exact formula determine the heating value. (5 P)
  2. Draw the Ostwald dagram in a scaled manner. (10 P)
  3. After the combustion, 6% CO2 and 10% CO contents are measured in the stack gases. Obtain the excess air coefficient and the ratio of O2 within the stack gases, utilizing the Ostwald diagram you drew in Part b). (10 P)
  4. Determine the excess air coefficient and the ratio of O2 within the stack gases, using the analytical relations and compare the results with the ones you obtained in Part c). (10 P)
  5. In what type of boiler and under which conditions do you think this lignite should be used in the lights of above estimated values of fuel components, the excess air coefficient, and the heating value. (10 P)
