A stainless steel ball (=8055 kg/m3, Cp= 480 J/kgK) of diameter D =15 cm is removed from theoven at a uniform temperature of 350oC. The ball is then subjectedto the flow of air at 1 atm pressure and 30oC with a velocityof 6 m/s. The surface temperature of the ball eventuallydrops to 250oC. Determine the average convection heat transfercoefficient during this cooling process and estimate howlong this process has taken.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux
