Identical wire loops are dipped into liquid a and liquid b, so that a film of liquid forms across the loops (like the bubble solution on a child's bubble blowing wand). the width of each loop is increased slowly and the forces fa and fb needed to make the loops 5% wider are measured.

(a) fa will be greater than fb

(b) fa will be less than fb

(c) fa will be equal to fb

(d) it is impossible to predict whether fa or fb will be greater without more information.

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?

Estimate the change in specific internal energy au and specific enthalpy h from inlet to outlet for ethylene glycol (a liquid) flowing through each of the following devices: (a) a heat exchanger where the glycol temperature increases from 20 °c to 80 °c; (b) a pump operating at about 25 °c and increasing the glycol pressure from 100 kpa to 8 mpa.
