You use a horizontal, 4 mm diameter, 100 mm long heater rod to boil water under atmospheric pressure. The rod material is of emissivity 0.5 and maintains its surface temperature at 455˚C during operation. Estimate the power dissipation of the heater rod (W).

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Ajournal bearing has a journal diameter of 3.250 in with a unilateral tolerance of 20.003 in. the bushing bore has a diameter of 3.256 in and a unilateral tolerance of 0.004 in. the bushing is 2.8 in long and supports a 700-lbf load. the journal speed is 900 rev/min. find the minimum oil film thickness and the maximum film pressure for both sae 20 and sae 20w-30 lubricants, for the tightest assembly if the operating film temperature is 160°f. a computer code is appropriate for solving this problem.
