The ducts of an air heating system pass through an unheated area. as a result of heat losses, the temperature of the air in the duct drops by 4°c. if the mass flow rate of air is 125 kg/min, determine the rate of heat loss from the air to the cold environment. the constant pressure specific heat of air at room temperature is cp = 1.005 kj/kg·k.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit. explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Calculate the bore of a cylinder that has a stroke of 18 inches and an extension time of 6 seconds at a flow rate of 4 gal/min.

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
