A mechanical aim rotates in the vertical plan about point O. The slider P (m = 2 kg) is drawn toward O with a constant speed (?̇) of 0.5 m/s through the rough slot (friction coefficient µ = 0.1) by pulling on the free end E of the cord. At the instant when r = 0.25 m, the arm is rotating with a constant speed (?̇) of 10 rad/s in the clockwise direction.

a building design was complete and is under construction. You had selected a window with a U-value of 1.6 and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.25. The window manufacturer informs you that they no longer carry that window model, but that they can give you a window with a U-value of 1.6 and SHGC of 0.4.
How would this new window impact your building's modeled heating and cooling energy consumption?

A central receiver in a solar power plant absorbs a concentrated solar flux from heliostats. However, losses from free convection and radiation lowers the collection efficiency. Consider a receiver with a diameter of 7 m and a height of 12 m that has an emissivity of 0.25 and a surface temperature of 800 K. If the solar flux is 100,000 W/m2, find the collection efficiency. The ambient air and surroundings are at a temperature of 300 K. Assume the curvature of cylinder has a negligible effect on boundary layer development and use the Churchill and Chu correlation to determine the Nusselt number.
