A plane wall with surface temperature 350C is attached with straight rectangular fins( k =235 W/m K). The fins are exposed to an ambient air condition of 25C and the convection heat transfer coefficient is 154 W/m2. Each fin has a length of 50mm, a base of 5 mm thick and a width of 100mm. For a Single fin, using a uniform nodal spacing of 10 mm, determine (a) the finite difference equations, (b) the nodal temperatures by solving the finite difference equations, and (c) the heat transfer rate and compare the result with analytical solution.

The standard FM broadcast band has a frequency range of 88 – 108 MHz. Stations are spaced every 200 kHz beginning at 88.1 MHz and up to 107.9 MHz. The maximum permitted deviation is 75 kHz, with modulating frequencies up to 15 kHz. Compute the bandwidth of an FM station using two methods and then discuss how the bandwidth compares with the channel spacing.

EXPERT ANSWER A.Rankine’s Earth Pressure Theory. The Rankine’s theory assumes that there is no wall friction (δ=0) , the ground and failure surfaces are straight planes, and that the resultant force acts parallel to the backfill slope. Rankine’s Theory At Rest Earth Pressure: The at-rest earth pressure coefficient (Ko) is applicable for determining the active …
