In an experiment, the temperature of a hot gas stream is to be measured by a thermocouple with a spherical junction. Due to the nature of this experiment, the response time of the thermocouple to register 42 percent of the initial temperature difference must be within 5 s. The properties of the thermocouple junction are k = 35 W/m•K, rho = 8500 kg/m3, and cp = 320 J/kg•K. If the heat transfer coefficient between the thermocouple junction and the gas is 250 W/m2•K, determine the diameter of the junction.

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false
