water = 1gm/cm3)

of viscosity η0, and the plate has a constant velocity V by applying a force F as shown in the figure. If

7) The heat machine of the room which works as a split-system operates on the inverse Carnot cycle,
and it can be assumed that the room and outdoor temperatures correspond to the temperatures on
the isotherms of the cycle. In summer, when the temperature outside the window is +27° C, the split
system, working in air conditioning mode (as a refrigeration unit), keeps the room temperature at +
17 °C and consumes from the power grid an average power N1. At the beginning of winter, when the
temperature outside drops to –3°C, the split system switches to heat pump mode and maintains the
same room temperature of +17° C as in the summer, by consuming average power N2. We can
assume that the heat How (through the windows and walls) is proportional to the temperature
difference between the room and outside, with same coefficient of proportionality in summer and
winter. Find the ratio of powers n = N2/N1.

8) Consider a long, solid cylinder as shown in the figure, which could represent a current-carrying
wire or a fuel element in a nuclear reactor. For steady state conditions, the rate at which heat is
generated within the cylinder must equal the rate at which heat is convected from the surface of the
cylinder to a moving fluid. This condition allows the surface temperature to be maintained at a fixed
value of TS. The rate of heat generated per unit volume is 20 kW/ m3, the coefficient of thermal
conductivity is 5 W/mK, what is the temperature (in K) at the distance r = R0/2 from the axis. Take R
= 20 cm. The temperature Ts at the surface is 300 K.
