A scientific instrument requires mercury to be cooled from 50°C to 5°C using a iced-water bath kept at 0°C The flow rate of mercury is 0.45 kg/s. Assume the inner surface of the tube carrying mercury is at the same temperature of the bath.

(a) Assuming the flow is fully-developed, which of the following tubing would you recommend and why: (A) thin tube with a circular cross-section of 25 cm diameter, (B) thin tube with a square cross-section of 30 cm sides, or (C) thin tube with a rectangular cross-section of 15 cmx30 cm.

(b) Is the thermally fully-developed assumption justified? If not, without any calculation, argue how would your choice of tubing change.

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.
