The evaporator section of a refrigeration unit consists of thin-walled, 10-mm-diameter tubes through which refrigerant passes at

a temperature of −18°C. Air is cooled as it fows over the tubes, maintaining a surface convection coeffcient of 100 W/m2 ⋅ K, and is subsequently routed to the refrigerator compartment. (a) For the foregoing conditions and an air temperature of −3°C, what is the rate at which heat is extracted from the air per unit tube length? (b) If the refrigerator’s defrost unit malfunctions, frost will slowly accumulate on the outer tube surface. Assess the effect of frost formation on the cooling capacity of a tube for frost layer thicknesses in the range 0 ≤δ ≤ 4 mm. Frost may be assumed to have a thermal conductivity of 0.4 W/m ⋅ K. (c) The refrigerator is disconnected after the defrost unit malfunctions and a 2-mm-thick layer of frost has formed. If the tubes are in ambient air for which T[infinity] = 20°C and natural convection maintains a convection coeffcient of 2 W/m2 ⋅ K, how long will it take for the frost to melt? The frost may be assumed to have a mass density of 700 kg/m3 and a latent heat of fusion of 334 kJ/kg

Explain what a margin of safety is in driving as well as how it can help minimize risk.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

A safety margin is the space left between your vehicle and the next to provide room, time and visibility at every instant

Explanation:

A safety margin is defined as an allowance given between your vehicle and the next vehicle in front to provide enough room, visibility and time to move in a safe manner to prevent the occurrence of an accident at anytime the frontal vehicle suddenly stops or slows down

Safety margins help minimize risks in the following way

1) A common knowledge of safety margins, improves predictability among road users, thereby minimizing the risk traffic accidents caused due to late communication

2) The use of safety margins helps minimize the risk due to a change in driving conditions such as when the road becomes more slippery from being covered with fluid that is being wetted

3) Safety margin can help prevent the occurrence of an accident between vehicles due to failure of a car system, such as a punctured tire or failed breaking system

4) Safety margin helps to protect road users from the introduction of obstacles on the main roads such as ongoing road construction, broken down vehicles, road blockage by vehicles involved in an accident etc

5) Safety margin help protect road users from being involved in an accident due to the loss of driving focus of the driver of the frontal vehicle

An FPC 4 m2 in area is tested during the night to measure the overall heat loss coefficient. Water at 60 C circulates through th
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<em> - 14.943 W/m^2K  ( negative sign indicates cooling ) </em>

Explanation:

Given data:

Area of FPC = 4 m^2

temp of water = 60°C

flow rate = 0.06 l/s

ambient temperature = 8°C

exit temperature = 49°C

<u>Calculate the overall heat loss coefficient </u>

Note : heat lost by water = heat loss through convection

m*Cp*dT  = h*A * ( T - To )

∴ dT / T - To = h*A / m*Cp  ( integrate the relation )

In ( \frac{49-8}{60-8} ) =  h* 4 / ( 0.06 * 10^-3 * 1000 * 4180 )

In ( 41 / 52 ) = 0.0159*h

hence h = - 0.2376 / 0.0159

              = - 14.943  W/m^2K  ( heat loss coefficient )

Answer:

The following statements are true:

A. For flows over a flat plate, in the laminar region, the heat transfer coefficient is decreasing in the flow direction

C. For flows over a flat plate, the transition from laminar to turbulence flow only happens for rough surface

E. In general, turbulence flows have a larger heat transfer coefficient compared to laminar flows 6.

Select ALL statements that are TRUE

B. In the hydrodynamic fully developed region, the mean velocity of the flow becomes constant

D. For internal flows, if Pr>1, the flows become hydrodynamically fully developed before becoming thermally fully developed
