3–109E A 0.083-in-diameter electrical wire at 90°F is covered by 0.02-in-thick plastic insulation (k = 0.075 Btu/h·ft·°F). The wire is exposed to a medium at 50°F, with a combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient of 2.5 Btu/h·ft2·°F. Determine if the plastic insulation on the wire will increase or decrease heat transfer from the wire. It helps

Air inially occupying a volume of 1 m2 at 100 kpa, 27 c undergoes three internally reversible processes in series. process 1-2 compression to 500 kpa during which pv constant process 2-3 adiabatic expanslon to 100 kpa process 3-1: constant-pressure expansion to 100 kpa (a) calculate the change of entropy for each of the three processes. (b) calculate the heat and work involved in each process. (c) is this cycle a power cycle or refrigeration cycle?
