Answer:

The Decision Matrix

As you compare potential solutions to your design brief and the universal criteria for a good design, it may be obvious which solution is the best. ... A decision matrix is a chart with your requirements and criteria on one axis and the different solutions on the other.

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.

Hot carbon dioxide exhaust gas

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,

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

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

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

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

I am standing on the upper deck of the football stadium. I have an egg in my hand. I am going to drop it and you are going to tr

Alina [70]

Answer:

Δx = 25 ft.

Explanation:

Assuming that the person on the ground starts running at the same time as the egg is dropped, we have two simultaneous trajectories:

1 ) Egg falling:

If the egg is dropped, and we neglect the air resistance, we can use the kinematic equation that relates the distance and fall time, as follows:

yf-y₀ = 1/2* g* t²

If we take the up direction as positive, we can solve for t as follows:

0-100 ft = 1/2* (-32.15 ft/s²)* t²

⇒ t = $\sqrt{(100*2)/32.15}$ = 2.5 sec.

2) Person on the ground running away:

In order to be able to run away, and then return to catch the egg, running at constant speed, he must run during exactly the half of the time that the egg is falling, i.e., 1.25 sec.

We can get the distance at which he can reach, applying the definition of velocity:

v = (xf-x₀) / (tfi-t₀)

If we choose t₀=0 and x₀ = 0 , we can solve for xf, as follows:

xf = v*t = 20 ft/sec*1.25 sec = 25 ft.
