The "Philosophy of Technology" consists of critical reflection upon the nature of technology. In your essay, provide a moral argument for or against the following claim: "It is important for engineers to interact/engage/participate in/think through the philosophy of technology." Describe how the philosophy of technology is relevant to the profession of engineering, providing specific, concrete examples. What ideas and issues are raised in thinking philosophically about technology that might not otherwise be considered? What is the effect of either studying or not studying the philosophy of technology? And should engineering curricula (i. e. college degree pathways) include more or less of this kind of study?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
