2.18 The net potential energy between two adjacent ions, EN, may be represented by the following equation: (1) Calculate the bonding energy E0 in terms of the parameters A, B, and n using the following procedure: 1. Differentiate EN with respect to r, and then set the resulting expression equal to zero, since the curve of EN versus r is a minimum at E0. 2. Solve for r in terms of A, B, and n, which yields r0, the equilibrium interionic spacing. 3. Determine the expression for E0 by substitution of r0 into Equation (1).

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
