An insulated piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.16 m2 of CO2 at 150 kPa and 41 °C. Electric resistance heater supplied heat for 10 mins. During this procedure the volume has doubled while pressure stayed the same. Considering electric resistance heater running on 110 V, calculate the needed current in A ((Give your answer with three decimals, and do NOT enter units!!!).

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Apipe with an outside diameter of 15 cm is exposed to an ambient air and surrounding temperature of -20°c. the pipe has an outer surface temperature of 65°c and an emissivity of 0.85. if the rate of heat loss from the pipe surface is 0.95 kw per meter of length, the external convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is: (a) 12.5 w/m"k (b) 18.6 w/mk (c) 23.7 w/mk (d) 27.9 w/mk (e) 33.5 w/mk

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux
