Consider a 1000-W iron whose base plate is made of 0.5-cm-thick aluminium alloy 2024-T6 (p=2771 kg/m^3) and Cp= 875 J/(kg C). The base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m^2.
Take into account that some of the oxygen is lost to the surface wall material of the furnace. Find the actual air-fuel ratio, the theoretical air-fuel ratio, and the percent excess air.
The cylinder is 0.02m in diameter and has a length of 0.5m in the cross-stream direction. The cylinder is at a temperature of 60°C. Find the rate at which heat is transferred from the cylinder.
A car A is travelling on a straight level road with a uniform speed of 60 km h-1. It is followed by another car B which is moving with a speed of 70 km h-1. When the distance between them is 2.5 km,
