Chapter 1, Problem 25P

The kilogram force is commonly used in Europe as a unit of force. (As in the U.S. customary system, where 1 lbf is the force exerted by a mass of 1 lbm in standard gravity, 1 kgf is the force exerted by a mass of 1 kg in standard gravity.) Moderate pressures, such as those for auto or truck tires, are conveniently expressed in units of kgf/cm2. Convert 32 psig to these units.

H.W Q2: The oil tank for a hydraulic system (shown in Fig. 6.5) has the following details: (a) The oil tank is air pressurized at 68.97 kPa gauge pressure. (b) The inlet to the pump is 3.048 m below the oil level. (c) The pump flow rate is 0.001896 m3/s. (d) The specific gravity of oil is 0.9. (e) The kinematic viscosity of oil is 100 cS. (f) Assume that the pressure drop across the strainer is 6.897 kPa. (g) The pipe diameter is 38.1 mm. (h) The total length of the pipe is 6.097 m.

A 3 m x 5 m section of wall of the cold room is not insulated, and the temperature at the outer surface of this section is measured to be 7°C. The temperature of the outside room is 30°C, and the combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient at the surface of the outer wall is 10 W/m2°C. It is proposed to insulate this section of the furnace wall with glass wool insulation (k = 0.038 W/m°C) in order to reduce the heat transfer by 90%. Assuming the outer surface temperature of the cold room wall section still remains at about 7°C, determine the thickness of the insulation that needs to be used.     The company is questioning whether to insulate the section of piping between the evaporator and the compressor. Present (using equations to support your reasoning) whether you would support this idea or not
