Water at a rate of 4.3x 104 kg/h is heated from 80 to 150°C in a heat exchanger having two shell passes and eight tube passes with a total surface area of 925 m2. Hot exhaust gases having approximately the same thermophysical properties as air enter at 350°C and exit at 175°C. Determine the overall heat transfer coefficient, in W/m2·K.\

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg. m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
