Answer:
i) 25.04 W/m^2 .k
ii) 23.82 minutes = 1429.2 secs
Explanation:
Given data:
Diameter of steel ball = 15 cm
uniform temperature = 350°C
p = 8055 kg/m^3
Cp = 480 J/kg.k
surface temp of ball drops to 250°C
average surface temperature = ( 350 + 250 ) / 2 = 300°C
<u>i) Determine the average convection heat transfer coefficient during the cooling process</u>
<em>Note : Obtain the properties of air at 1 atm at average film temp of 30°C from the table " properties of air " contained in your textbook</em>
average convection heat transfer coefficient = 25.04 W/m^2 .k
<u>ii) Determine how long this process has taken </u>
Time taken by the process = 23.82 minutes = 1429.2 seconds
Δt = Qtotal / Qavg = 683232 / 477.92 = 1429.59 secs
attached below is the detailed solution of the given question
Castor oil is increasingly becoming an important bio-based raw material for industrial applications. The oil is non-edible and can be extracted from castor seeds from the castor plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. The oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl group, a double bond, carboxylic group and a long chain hydrocarbon in ricinoleic acid (a major component of the oil), offer several possibilities of transforming it into variety of materials. The oil is thus a potential alternative to petroleum-based starting chemicals for the production of materials with variety of properties. Despite this huge potential, very little has recently been reviewed on the use of castor oil as a bio-resource in the production of functional materials. This review therefore highlights the potential of castor oil in the production of these diverse materials with their projected global market potential. The review gives the background information of castor oil and its geographical availability, the properties and its uses as bio-based resource for synthesis of various materials. The review further highlights on the use of castor oil or ricinoleic acid as a green capping agent in the synthesis of nanomaterials.

Answer:
a) 0.4393 mm
b) -0.141 mm
Explanation:
Cylindrical bar : Diameter = 20.3 mm , Length = 205 mm
Force that deforms bar of metal = 46400 N
elastic modulus = 66.9 GPa
Poisson's ratio ( u ) = 0.32
A) Determine the amount by which this specimen will elongate in the direction of applied stress
dl = 
where P = 46400 N
L = 205 mm
A =
= 323.65
E = 66.9 GPa
dl = ( 46400 * 205 ) / ( 323.65 * 66.9 * 10^3 ) = 0.4393 mm
B) determine the change in diameter of the specimen
change in diameter( compressed due to elongation in length )
= - u * dl
= - 0.32 * 0.4393
= -0.141 mm
