In a production facility, 1.6-in-thick 2-ft × 2-ft square brass plates (rho = 532.5 lbm/ft3 and cp = 0.091 Btu/lbm·°F) that are initially at a uniform temperature of 75°F are heated by passing them through an oven at 1500°F at a rate of 340 per minute. If the plates remain in the oven until their average temperature rises to 900°F, determine the rate of heat transfer to the plates in the furnace.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.

The drive force for diffusion is 7 fick's first law can be used to solve the non-steady state diffusion. a)-true b)-false
