Molten sodium metal is often used as a coolant in nuclear reactors. Consider molten sodium at 205 C flowing at a rate of 0.23 m/s over a plate with length and width of 1 m and 2 m, respectively. Determine the following: (a) The heat transfer coefficient between the sodium and the plate (b) The heat transfer from the plate to the sodium if the plate is at 250 C

The volumetric flow rate at the exit of the pipe : Carbon dioxide gas enters a pipe at 3 MPa and 500 K at a rate of 2 kg/s. CO2 is cooled at constant pressure as it flows in the pipe and the temperature of CO2 drops to 450 K at the exit.

Takes for the parcel to reach the speed of the belt : A parcel is lowered onto a conveyor belt that is moving at 4 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the parcel and the belt is 0.25, calculate the time that it takes for the parcel to reach the speed of the belt.

Find the temperature and velocity of the gas : A 0.6-m diameter gas pipeline is being used for the long-distance transport of natural gas. Just past a pumping station, the gas is found to be at a temperature of 25°Cand a pressure of 3.0 MPa. The mass flow rate is 125 kg/s, and the gas flow is adi..

Average heat transfer coefficient along length of the plate : Refrigerant-134a flows across a 3 m-long plate which imparts a constant heat flux of 50 kW/m2 to the refrigerant. If the refrigerant is at -40 C and is flowing at 1 m/s, determine the following: (a) The average heat transfer coefficient along the len..

Air flows through a pipe with a variable diameter : Air flows through a pipe with a variable diameter at a constant volumetric flow rate of 0.5 m^3/s. Assuming the velocity profiles are uniform throughout use mass conservation to find the velocity where the diameter is 0.4m and 0.2m

Many uses including the production of sulfuric acid : SO3 has many uses including the production of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). A gas stream having the (molar) composition shown in the figure below is to be passed through a two-stage converter. The fractional conversion of SO2 to SO3 (per single pass) in the..

Determine the maximum speed reached by the mass : An electric hoist consumes 5 kW of power at a constant rate to lift a 500-kg mass. Assuming that the hoist is 80% efficient, determine the maximum speed reached by the mass.

Changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible : Air is compressed steadily in a compressor from 100kPa and 300 K to 1 Mpa and 500 K. The compressor is not well insulated and a heat loss of 40 KJ/kg occurs during the process. Assuming the changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible, de..
