1. A solar concentrator produces a heat flux of 2500 W/m2 on the projected area of a tube of diameter 50 mm. Water flows through the tube at a rate of 0.015 kg/s. If the water temperature at the inlet is 15°C, what length of pipe is required to produce water at a temperature of 85°C?

(Water at 50 degree C has: rho = 990 kg m^-3, k = 0.64 Wm^-1 K^-1, c = 4180 Jkg^-1 K^-1.)

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

Which of the following refers to refers to how well the control system responds to sudden changes in the system. a)-transient regulation b)- distributed regulation c)-constant regulation d)-steady-state regulation
