Energy is generated uniformly in a 6 cm thick wall. the steady-state temperature distribution
t(z) = 145 + 3000z - 1500z^2
where t is temperature measured in c, and z is the distance measured from one side of the walls in meters. determine the rate of heat generation per unit volume if the thermal conductivity of the wall is 15 w/m. k.

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature

Atmospheric air has a temperature (dry bulb) of 80° f and a wet bulb temperature of 60° f when the barometric pressure is 14.696 psia. determine the specific humidity, grains/lb dry air. a. 11.4 c. 55.8 d. 22.5 b. 44.1
