ENGINEERING

The compartment heater of an automobile exchanges heat between warm radiator fluid and cooler outside air. The flow rate of water is large compared to the air, and the effectiveness, $\mathcal{E}$, of the heater is known to depend on the flow rate of air according to the relation, $\varepsilon \sim m_{\mathrm{air}}^{-0.2}$. (a) If the fan is switched to high and $m_{\mathrm{air}}$ is doubled, determine the percentage increase in the heat added to the car, if fluid inlet temperatures remain the same. (b) For the low-speed fan condition, the heater warms outdoor air from 0 to $30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. When the fan is turned to medium, the airflow rate increases 50% and the heat transfer increases 20%. Find the new outlet temperature.

ENGINEERING

A sharp-edged orifice is used to measure the flow of air in a pipe. The pipe diameter is 100 mm, and the diameter of the orifice is 25 mm. Upstream of the orifice, the absolute pressure is 150 kPa, and the temperature is 35$^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The pressure drop across the orifice is 15 kPa, and the coefficient of discharge is 0.62. Determine the mass flow rate in the pipeline.

The current through a particular circuit element is given by i(t) = $10 \sin (200 \pi \mathrm{t})$A in which the angle is in radians. 1. Sketch i(t) to scale versus time. 2. Determine the net charge that passes through the element between t = 0 and t = 5 ms. 3. Repeat for the interval from t = 0 to t = 10 ms.

ENGINEERING

The particle has a mass of 0.5 kg and is confined to move along the smooth vertical slot due to the rotation of the arm OA. Determine the force of the rod on the particle and the normal force of the slot on the particle when [math] \theta = 30^o [\math]. The rod is rotating with a constant angular velocity [math]=$\dot{\theta}$ 2 rad/s[\math]. Assume the particle contacts only one side of the slot at any instant.
