If a two-centimeter thick spherical shell of stainless-steel is placed on the thorium sphere, determine the change in the maximum thorium temperature and the surface temperature of the stainless-steel. assume no change in the film coefficient, and the thermal conductivity of the stainless-steel is 15 w/mk.

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.

Determine whether or not it is possible to compress air adiabatically from k to 140 kpa and 400 k. what is the entropy change during this process?
