The temperature of a experimental heated enclosure is being ramped up from 80 to 450°F at the rate of 20°F/min. A thermocouple, embedded in a Thermowell for protection, is being used to monitor the oven temperature. The thermocouple has a time constant of 6 s.
( a ) At t = 10 min, what is the difference between the actual temperature and the temperature indicated by the thermocouple? What is it at 60 min?
( b ) When the thermocouple indicates 450°F, the heater will begin to modulate and maintain the temperature at the desired 450°F. What is the actual oven temperature when the thermocouple first indicates 450°F?

A petrol engine produces 250 kW while using 1.014 kg of fuel per minute. The fuel has a lower heating value of 45000 kJ/kg, and the engine has bore of 100 mm and the stroke-to-bore ratio of 1.2. The clearance volume of the cylinder is 1.178×105 mm3. The friction power is found to be 10% of the power that engine produces. Sketch (your own) the simple neat and clean block diagram of the engine, clearly indicating the control volume and control surface, with all the given data displayed on it. For air take the value of g = 1.4.
Determine the following:
The brake thermal efficiency (hb, th ).
The indicated thermal efficiency (hind,th ).
The mechanical efficiency (hmech ).
The brake engine efficiency (hb ).
The indicated engine efficiency (hind ).
(Hint: Engine efficiency is a function of how the ideal work or power is calculated. Frequently, the air-standard cycle is used for calculating the theoretical work.)

- 3.9 The heat transfer coefficients for the flow of 26.6°C air over a sphere of 1.25 cm in diameter are measured by observing the temperature-time history of a copper ball the same dimension. The temperature of the copper ball was measured by two thermocouples, one located in the center and the other near the surface. The two thermocouples registered, within the accuracy of the recording instruments, the same temperature at any given instant. In one test run, the initial temperature of the ball was 66°C, and the temperature decreased by 7°C in 1.15 min. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient for this case.arrow_forwardDetermine the blade length for a wind turbine that supplies an electrical power output of 1.95 MW and given the following parameters: Wind speed = 51 km/hr The gear, generator and electric efficiencies are 93%, 95% and 91% respectively.
