As part of a heat treatment process, cylindrical, 304 stainless steel rods of 100-mm diameter are cooled from an initial temperature of 500 C by suspending them in an oil bath at 30 C. If a convection coefficient of 500 W/m2 K is maintained by circulation of the oil, how long does it take for the centerline of a rod to reach a temperature of 50 C, at which point it is withdrawn from the bath

Aquick transition of the operating speed of a shaft from its critical speed will whirl amplitude. (a) increase (b) limit (c) not affect (d) zero

Ahe-xe mixture containing a 0.75 mole fraction of helium is used for cooling electronics in an avionics application. at a temperature of 300 k and atmospheric pressure, calculate the mass fraction of helium and the mass density, molar concentration and molecular weight of the mixture. if the cooling capacity is 10 l, what is the mass of the coolant?

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
