An aluminum plate with a thickness of 2L=0.22m is initially at a temperature of To=250°C. The plate is suddenly brought into contact with a fluid at a temperature of T∞=50°C, where the convection heat transfer coefficient is h=500 W/ m2K. Determine
a. the mid-plane temperature at t=300 seconds.
b. the total heat transfer from the plate to the fluid in 300 seconds if the surface area of one side of the plate is 1 m2 .

In the planetary gear train shown in Figure Q2, the annulus A rotates at 300 rpm about the axis of fixed wheel S which has 80 teeth. The armed spider (arm) is driven at 180 rpm. The annulus is connected to input shaft whereas the arm is connected to the output shaft. If the efficiency of gear system is 98% and input torque is 100 Nm, identify the following information regarding these problems (i) The number of teeth on planet gear, P (ii) Holding torque for fixed wheel (iii) Power transmitted by the gear train.

The indoor temperature of an oven can go up to 250 degrees
Celsius. There is a 2 mm thick sheet metal material inside and
outside of the oven wall. There is a 10 mm insulation material
between the oven wall. It is desirable that this temperature should
not exceed 30 degrees Celsius in order not to damage the outside of
the oven by hand. Find the amount of heat (W) discharged from the
furnace unit area and unit time and the energy consumed if the
furnace operates for 2 hours.
k_Insulation = 0.0.35 W / m.K
k_sheet metal = 40 W / m.K
h = 25 W / m ^ 2.K

Sketch and label the following thermodynamic processes on enthalpy-temperature or internal energy-temperature diagrams (as appropriate). Use a separate diagram for each case. Clearly label reactant and product conditions on each diagram as well as the direction of the process path. For each process, specify (a) what initial conditions/inputs must be provided, (b) what resulting reaction quantity of interest can be calculated, (c) what thermodynamic constraints/assumptions apply, and (d) why you chose each diagram as well as why you drew each process path.
CASE 1: reaction occurring within a bomb calorimeter
CASE 2: reaction occurring in a highly conductive, non-insulated piston/cylinder
CASE 3: reaction associated with ideal combustion event in an Otto engine
CASE 4: reaction associated with ideal combustion event in a Diesel engine

A 3-kg mass is attached to the end of a coil spring with stiffness k=48N/m . The mass is then pulled down 0.5m (from its equilibrium position) and released at t = 0 with an initial velocity of 2 m/sec directed upward. Neglect the resistance of the medium. a) Determine the resulting displacement and velocity as functions of time. b) Find amplitude, period and frequency of the motion. c) At what time does the weight first pass through the equilibrium position?

Water (cp=4179 J/kg·K) at 30 °C flows on the inside of a steel tube with 25 mm inner diameter and 0.4 mm wall thickness at a flow rate of 0.4 kg/s. The tubes forms inside of a counter flow double pipe heat exchanger. Engine oil at 100 °C flows in the annular space with a flowrate of 0.1 kg/s. The outlet temperature of the oil is 60 °C. The material of the heat exchanger is carbon steel with k=45 W/m·K. The inner diameter of the outer tube is 55 mm. If the length of a hairpin is 5m, calculate the number of hairpins ignoring the fouling resistances.
please can you help me course name heat exchangers.

Air enters the compressor of an ideal cold air-standard Brayton
cycle at 100 kPa, 300 K, with a mass flow rate of 6 kg/s. The
compressor pressure ratio is 10, and the turbine inlet temperature
is 1400 K.

Explain the finite element method for stress analysis as you would to a high school student who is interested in becoming an engineer. Note that this could be the deciding factor for the student to choose Engineering at University. As such keep your answer relevant, interesting and succinct (furthermore, the student is young so they get bored easily...).
