Circular fins are employed around the cylinder of a lawn mower engine to dissipate heat. The fins are made of aluminum are 0.3-m thick, and extend 2 cm from base to tip. The outside diameter of the engine cylinder is 0.3 m. Design operating conditions are Tai 30°C and h-12 Wm2.K. The maximum allowable cylinder temperature is 300°C. Estimate the amount of heat transfer from a single fin. How many fins are required to cool a 3-kw engine operating at 30% thermal efficiency, if 50% of the total heat given off is transferred by the fins?

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
