Ahousehold refrigerator with a cop of 1.2 removes heat from the refrigerated space at a rate of 60 kj/min. determine (a) the electric power consumed by the refrigerator and (b) the rate of heat transfer to the kitchen air.

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.

The proportional limit is always greater than the yield strength for a material. a)-trune b)- false

Afan that can provide air speeds up to 60 m/s is to be used in a low-speed wind tunnel with atmospheric air at 35 c. if one wishes to use the wind tunnel to study flat-plate boundary layer behavior up to reynolds numbes of re 10, what is the minimum plate length that should be used? at what distance from the leading edge would transition occur if the critical reynolds nurnber were rer,e = 5 × 105?
