A thermocouple is embedded 10 mm from the surface of a thick slab of material initially at 30C. The surface was suddenly brought to a temperature of 100 C by exposure to boiling water. The thermocouple measures a temperature of 65C, 2 min after the surface is brought to 100C, what is its thermal conductivity of the material

Draw the engineering stress-strain curve for (a) bcc; (b) fcc metals and mark important points.

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.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
