The following is a correlation for the average Nusselt number for natural convection over spherical surface. As can be seen in the above, the Nusselt number approaches 2 as Rayleigh number approaches zero. Prove that this situation corresponds to conduction heat transfer and in conduction heat transfer over sphere, the Nusselt number becomes 2. Hint: First step: Write an expression for heat transfer between two spherical shells that share the same center. Second step: Assume the outer spherical shell is infinitely large.

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

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false
