A cylinder, 6 mm in diameter, has a length of 24 mm. One end of the cylinder is open while all other surfaces have external insulation. The inside of the cylinder is diffuse and gray having an emissivity of 0.8 and a uniform temperature of 1000 K. Required:
a. Draw a sketch and state your assumptions.
b. Determine the radiant power leaving the open end of the cylinder.
c. Calculate the effective emissivity of the cylinder.

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?

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?

Determine (a) the maximum thermal efficiency of reversible power cycles operating between a hot reservoir at 1000°c and a cold reservoir at 200°c and (b) the maximum cops for reversible refrigeration and heat pump cycies, respectively, between 28°c and 14°c.
