The heat transfer coefficient for hydrogen flowing over a sphere is to be determined by observing the temperature–time history of a sphere fabricated from pure copper. The sphere, which is 20.0 mm in diameter, is at 80°C before it is inserted into the gas stream having a temperature of 27°C. A thermocouple on the outer surface of the sphere indicates 40°C 97 s after the sphere is inserted into the hydrogen.
1. Assume and then justify that the sphere behaves as a spacewise isothermal object and calculate the heat transfer coefficient.

Determine the time of the day and month of the year at which the peak sensible cooling load occurs for a top floor, north-eastern corner room of an office building in durban for the following conditions: floor area: 8 x 8 x 3 m east and north walls: 115 mm face brick (outside), 20 mm air space, 115 mm ordinary brick (inside) with 15 mm plaster roof construction: suspended plasterboard ceiling, 450 mm air space, 150 mm concrete, 75mm screed, waterproofing no heat transfer across other surfaces window area 3x 1,5 m high in north wall only. ordinary glass with venetian blinds. lights and occupants : from 07: 00 to 18: 00 average light density: 25 w/m2 number of occupants : 5 seated, light office work room temperature 24°c

Asimple speed reducer is composed of 2 spur gears. the pinion gear has a pitch diameter of 0.75" and 36 teeth while the driven gear has a pitch diameter of 4.0" and 192 teeth. a)-what is the diametral pitch of each gear? b)-if an electric motor rotating ccw at 3000 rpm is coupled to the pinion, what is the rotational speed of the driven gear? c)-if the torque delivered to the pinion is 1 n-m, what is the torque on the driven gear? d)-what is the power transmitted by the gear train?

Acarnot refrigerator operates in a room in which the temperature is 21°c and of power when operating. if the food compartment of the refrigerator is consumes 3 kw to be maintained at 2°c, determine (a) the coefficient of performance of the cycle and (b) the rate of heat removal from the food compartment. refrigerator cycle that has a higher coefficient of performance than that of the discussed (e) is it possible to develop a carn ot refrigerator, operating between the same temperature limits? explain
