A long steel I-beam used in bridge construction has a length of 15.0 m. The beam may be exposed to temperatures as low as  −22°C  in the winter and as high as  33°C  in the summer. What is the difference in length of the beam between these two temperature extremes? (Give the absolute value of the difference. Enter your answer in mm.)
Steel plates (AISI 1010) with a thickness of 6 mm and sides with a length L = 0.49 m, are transported at the exit of a heat treatment process and simultaneously cooled by atmospheric air with a speed u∞ = 5.24 m/s and T ∞ = 23.3°C in parallel flow over the plates. For an initial plate temperature of Ti = 327°C, what is the heat transfer rate in W leaving the plate? Considering that the air velocity is much greater than the plate velocity, what is the corresponding temperature change rate for that instant in K/s?
Calculate the capillary effect in mm in a glass tube of 4 mm diameter, when immersed in mercury. The temperature of the liquid is 200 C and the value of surface tension of mercury at 20°C in contact with air is 0.57 N/m respectively. The angle of contact for mercury is 130⁰.
