The Popeye Frozen Company freezes its spinach by first compressing it into large slabs (1-D wall) and then sends them through a Nitrogen bath at -90%uF0B0C. The slab of the compressed spinach is initially at 20C; it must be reduced to a temperature of -34C or below. The temperature at any part of the slab, however, must never drop below -51C to prevent permanent damage to the spinach. Assume it is a onedimensional transient conduction problem. Popeye has called you in to estimate the maximum thickness of the spinach slab which satisfies the temperature requirements at 60 minutes. Also determine the heat transfer coefficients of the convection environment to satisfy the temperature requirements. The properties of spinach may be taken to be: k=1.731 W/mK, density=961.1 kg/m3, C=2100 J/kgK

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
