Heat Transfer Problem
You had been assigned, at General Motors as a design engineer,
to design a radiator (Heat Exchanger) for a new model car . It is
necessary that the heat exchanger will be compact enough to fit
within a space of 2 feet by 3 feet available in front of the car.
IF the temperature of the incoming engine coolant is 150 degree
Centigrade and the outside temperature of air is about 38 C:
What type of heat...
Why
Civil Engineer take into account two different cases which are
transfer and service during
design
and analysis of prestressed concrete structural memeber. Please,
explain briefly.
Transient heat transfer
Leaking steam completely fills a room, pushing out all of the
air. The steam is at atmospheric pressure. Because the mortar
cement siding walls are initially cool, at a uniform temperature of
22C, the steam begins to condense on the walls. Find the rate of
condensation per square meter of wall at (a) 10 s and (b) 30 s
after the leak.
The wall is 10 cm thick, and you may assume that the other side
of...
You graduated as a mechanical engineer five years ago, taking a
job as a trainee engineer with a major automotive manufacturer.
Since you were not happy with this company, you left three years
ago to work for Hallmark, a large UK-based engineering consultancy
company with several important offices worldwide. Hallmark commonly
contract-out their employees to other companies (many consultancies
do this). These often involve Hallmark engineers working for many
months (sometimes years) at the other company, forming close
working relationships...
Q1:
How would you explain the “Duty of Care” of the Design
Engineer to a marketing executive, or to a legal representative, or
to a business manager? Is there one explanation that all could
understand and agree?
Q2: Why is it important to follow the Engineers Australia Code
of Ethics in your engineering design work? Is there less need to
abide by the Engineers Australia Code of Ethics if you are not a
member of Engineers Australia?
if you transfer heat energy to a perfectly insulated cup of some
liquid (no heat energy can be transferred in or out through the
walls) what determines how much the temperature changes? Does it
depend on how much heat energy you transfer, how much liquid there
is in the cup, what the liquid is, or what the initial temerpature
of the liquid is? Which of these factors do you think make a
differnce in how much the temperture rises?
How many ways can you see that heat can transfer from the inside
to the outside of your room on a cold day? List at least three and
describe in detail how heat moves through the different kinds of
materials (glass, brick, wood, insulation, etc.)—by conduction,
convection or radiation. Which process do you suppose
dominates?
