Q32.15: the thermal energy generated when radiation from radioactive isotopes is absorbed can serve as the basis for a small power source for use in satellites, remote weather stations, and other isolated locations. such isotopes are manufactured in abundance in nuclear reactors and may be separated chemically from the spent fuel. one suitable isotope is 238pu (half-life 87.7 y), which is an alpha emitter with energy 5.50 mev per decay. at what rate is thermal energy being generated in 1.00 kg of this material

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
