Acoal fired boiler plant consumes 400kg of coal per hour. the boiler evaporates 3200 kg of water at 44°c into superheated steam at a pressure of 10 bar and 220°c. if the calorific value of coal is 32760 kj/kg, determine: i)-equivalent evaporation from an at 100°c ii)-thermal efficiency of the boiler.

Explain the difference laminar and turbulent flow. explain it with the shear stress and the velocity profiles.

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
