A14 (single shell pass, four tube-side passes) heat exchanger is to be designed to heat liquid from 300 k to 370 k. the heating medium enters the shell-side at 430 k and leaves at 380 k. if 10 kg/s of cold liquid is supplied, find the heat transfer area required and suggest a suitable tube arrangement. if the hot fluid outlet temperature drops to 360 k, is the design method still valid? if not, why not?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

What is the heat treatment of metals? what is the benefit of it? why and how it's useful? answer in details, do not write by hand.

The catalogue for a refrigerant 22, four-cylinder, hermetic compressor operating at 29 r/s. a condensing temperature of 40°c and an evaporating temperature of -4°c shows a refrigeration capacity of 115 kw. at this operating point, the motor (its efficiency is 90 percent) draws 34.5 kw. the bore of the cylinders is 87 mm and the piston stroke is 70 mm. the performance data are based on 8°c of sub-cooling of the liquid leaving the condenser. compute (a) the actual volumetric efficiency and (b) the compression efficiency.
