A counterflow, concentric tube heat exchanger is used to cool the lubricating oil for a large industrial gas turbine engine. The flow rate of cooling water through the inner tube (Di = 25 mm) is 0.2 kg/s, while the flow rate of oil through the outer annulus (Do = 45 mm) is 0.1 kg/s. The oil and water enter at temperatures of 100 and 30 C, respectively. How long must the tube be made if the outlet temperature of the oil is to be 60 C?

1a.
Halothane, C2HBrClF3, is a nonflammable, nonexplosive, and nonirritating gas that is commonly used as an inhalation anesthetic. The total pressure of a mixture of 16.0 g of halothane vapor and 23.5 g of oxygen gas is 840 mm Hg. What is the partial pressure of each gas?
Phalothane = mm Hg
Poxygen = mm Hg

You are asked to design an air bag for a car. You know that the bag should be filled with gas with a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, say 848 mm Hg, at a temperature of 22.0 °C. The bag has a volume of 41.5 L. What quantity of sodium azide, NaN3, should be used to generate the required quantity of gas? The gas-producing reaction is
2 NaN3(s) → 2 Na(s) + 3 N2(g)

Glycerin flows parallel to a flat plate measuring 2 ft
by 2 ft with a velocity of 10 fps. Determine values for the
mean convective heat-transfer coefficient and the associated
drag force imposed on the plate for glycerin temperatures
of 30, 50, and 80F. What heat flux will result, in each
case, if the plate temperature is 50F above that of the
glycerin?

Coal tar fuels are liquid obtained by blending coal tar distillation products such as carbolic oil, naphthalene oil, creosote oil, anthracene oil and medium pitch. A sample of elemental analysis shows 85.9% C, 6.3% H, 1.2%S, 5.5% O and 1.1%N. If this fuel is burned in excess air at 30℃ and 755 mmHg with 90% RH, it produces a burner gas containing 10.64% CO2, 3.19% CO and 0.64%H2. Assuming negligible N and S. Calculate a) %excess air; b) Complete Orsat analysis of the burner gas; c) m3 stack gas.
