Energy transfer in mechanical systems: During steady-state operation, a mechanical gearbox receives 70 KW of input power through

the input shaft and delivers power through the output shaft. Considering the gearbox as a thermodynamic system, the rate of convection heat transfer generated during its operation is defined by: where h 0.171 kW/m2-K is the convection heat transfer coefficient, A 1.0 m is the outer surface area of the gearbox, T 300 K is the temperature of the outer surface, and T 293 K is the temperature of the surrounding air. For the gearbox, evaluate the heat transfer rate, 2, and the power delivered through the output shaft, W.

Hot carbon dioxide exhaust gas at 1 atm is being cooled by flat plates. The gas at 220 °C flows in parallel over the upper and l

sergeinik [125]

The local convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge is $0.44 \frac{W}{m^{2} \times K}$ , the average convection heat transfer coefficient over the entire plate is $0.293 \frac{W}{m^{2} \times K}$ and the total heat flux transfer to the plate is $61.6 KJ$ .

Explanation:

It is case of heat and mass transfer in which due to temperature difference between gas and surface. Further temperature boundary layer will developed on flat plate in longitudinal direction.

physical properties

$r= 1.05 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}$

$c_p = 1.02 \frac{kJ}{Kg \times K}$

$m= 231 \times 10^{7} \frac{N \times s }{m^2}$

υ = $21.8 \times 10^{6} \frac{m^2}{s}$

$k = 32.5 \times 10^{3} \frac{W}{m \times K}$

$\alpha = 30.1 \times 10^{6} \frac{m^{2}}{s}$

$Pr = 0.725$

Apart from these other data arr given below,

$v= 3 \frac{m}{s} \\ p= 1 atm \\ L_c = 1.5m \\T_g= 220 C \\ T_s = 80 C$

To find the local convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge, we use correlation used for laminar flow over flat plate,

$Nu = \frac{ h \times L }{k} = 0.332 \times (Re^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (Pr^{\frac{1}{3} })$

where h= Average heat transfer coefficient

L= Length of a plate

k= Thermal Conductivity of carbon dioxide

Re = Reynold's Number

Pr = Prandtle Number

(a) Convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from the leading edge

is referred as local convection heat transfer coefficient.

To find convection heat transfer coefficient at 1 m from leading edge,

$Nu = \frac{ h_local \times L }{k} = 0.332 \times (Re^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (Pr^{\frac{1}{3} })$

Here, first we have to find Re and Pr,

$Re = \frac{r \times v \times L}{m}$

$Re = \frac{1.0594 \times 3 \times 1}{231 \times 10^{7}}$

$Re = 20.63 \times 10^{-10}$

Pr number is take from physical property data and Pr is 0.725.

Putting value of Re and Pr in main equation,

we get

$Nu = \frac{ h_local \times 1 }{32.5 \times 10^{3}} = 0.332 \times ( (20.63 \times 10^{-10})^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (0.725^{\frac{1}{3} })$

$h_local = 32.5 \times 10^{3} \times 0.332 \times ( (20.63 \times 10^{-10})^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (0.725^{\frac{1}{3} })$

$h_local = 0.44 \frac{W}{m^{2} \times K}$

(b) To find average convection heat transfer coefficient,

it can be find out as case (a), only difference is that instead of L=1 m, L=1.5 m would come,

Therefore,

$Nu = \frac{ h \times 1.5 }{32.5 \times 10^{3}} = 0.332 \times ( (20.63 \times 10^{-10})^{\frac{1}{2} }) \times (0.725^{\frac{1}{3} })$

Finally,

$h = \frac{0.44}{1.5}$

$h = 0.293 \frac{W}{m^{2} \times K}$

(C) Total heat flux transfer to the plate is found out by,

$Q = h \times (T_g - T_s)$

$Q = 0.293 \times (220-80) \\ Q= 0.293 \times 140 \\ Q= 61.6 KJ$

Explain with schematics the operating principle of solid state lasers.

alina1380 [7]

Explanation:

A solid state laser contains a cavity like structure fitted with spherical mirrors or plane mirrors at the end filled with a rigidly bonded crystal. It uses solid as the medium. It uses glass or crystalline materials.

It is known that active medium used for this type of laser is a solid material. This lasers are pumped optically by means of a light source which is used as a source of energy for the laser. The solid materials gets excited by absorbing energy in the form of light from the light source. Here the pumping source is light energy.
