2. Heat conduction in a square plate Three sides of a rectangular plate (@ = 5 m, b = 4 m) are kept at a temperature of 0 C and one side is kept at a temperature C, as shown in the figure. Determine and plot the ; temperature distribution T(x, y) in the plate. The temperature distribution, T(x, y) in the plate can be determined by solving the two-dimensional heat equation. For the given boundary conditions T(x, y) can be expressed analytically by a Fourier series (Erwin Kreyszig, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, John Wiley and Sons, 1993):

Suppose we have an 80-lb lead-acid battery. 10% of the weight of the battery is active material on the plates, i.e., we have a total of 8 lb of active Pb and PbO, on the plates that can be used to make electric power. Use the Gibbs free energy method to estimate the total stored energy in the battery. Assume that the open circuit voltage for a lead-acid cell is 2.1 V. [The answer should be a little less than 1 kilowatt-hour of energy.]
Q.4 In an experimental setup, mineral oil is filled in between the narrow gap of two horizontal smooth plates. The setup has arrangements to maintain the plates at desired uniform temperatures. At these temperatures, ONLY the radiative heat flux is negligible. The thermal conductivity of the oil does not vary perceptibly in this temperature range. Consider four experiments at steady state under different experimental conditions, as shown in the figure Q1. The figure shows plate temperatures and the heat fluxes in the vertical direction. What is the steady state heat flux (in W m) with the top plate at 90°C and the bottom plate at 45°C? [4] 30°C 70°C 40°C 90°C flux = 39 Wm-2 flux =30 Wm2 flux = 52 Wm 2 flux ?

Electromagnetic Pulse propagating at oblique angle to a dielectric interface Consider a gaussian wave pulse propagating along the z-axis from region 1 with refractive index n1 and onto a dielectric interface y = m z (for all x). To the left of this dielectric interface, the refractive index is n2.

SITUATION 1 (Fluid Flow in a Closed Conduit) Consider a fluid, with density (p) of 998.21 kg/m³ and dynamic viscosity (u) of 1.002 x 103 N-s/m², flowing in a 2000-meter long, 50-mm diameter smooth round pipe with velocity of 2.5 m/s. The energy loss on the pipe flow (he) due to friction between the pipe and the fluid is determined using Darcy-Weisbach equation, given as h₁ = f (²) (1/1) where f is the friction factor, L is the length of the pipe, D is the diameter of the pipe, V is the velocity of the flow, and g is the gravitational acceleration. The friction factor may be determined using an empirical equation developed by Nikuradse for flow in smooth pipes, given as 1 =0.869 In (Re√7)-0.8 where Re is the Reynolds number of the flow, determined as VDp R₂ = μl The friction factor equation given is only valid for flows with Reynolds number higher than 4000 (turbulent flow).
