12.16 Water is pumped with a centrifugal pump, and measurements made on the pump indicate that
for a flowrate of 240 gpm the required input power is 6 hp. For a pump efficiency of 62%, what is the
actual head rise of the water being pumped?

12.18 The performance characteristics of a certain centrifugal pump having a 9-in.-diameter impeller
and operating at 1750 rpm are determined using an experimental setup similar to that shown in Fig.
12.10. The following data were obtained during a series of tests in which z2 = z1 = 0, V2 = V1, and the
fluid was water.

1.26 A square isothermal chip is of width w = 5 mm on a side and is mounted in a substrate such that
its side and back surfaces are well insulated; the front surface is exposed to the flow of a coolant at T
= 15o C. From reliability considerations, the chip temperature must not exceed T = 85o C.
If the coolant is air and the corresponding convection coefficient is h = 200 W/m2.K, what is the
maximum allowable chip power? If the coolant is a dielectric liquid for which h = 3000 W/m2 .K, what is
the maximum allowable power?

1.29 Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling
system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer.
Provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room
whose air temperature is maintained at 20o C throughout the year, while the walls of the room are
nominally at 27o C and 14o C in the summer and winter, respectively. The exposed surface of a person
in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32 o C throughout the year and to have an
emissivity of 0.90. The coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the
person and the room air is approximately 2 W/m2.K.

2.31 The temperature distribution across a wall 0.3 m thick at a certain instant of time is T(x) = a +
bx + cx2, where T is in degrees Celsius and x is in meters, a = 200o C, b = 200o C/m, and c = 30o C/m2.
The wall has a thermal conductivity of 1W/m. K.
(a) On a unit surface area basis, determine the rate of heat transfer into and out of the wall and the
rate of change of energy stored by the wall.
(b) If the cold surface is exposed to a fluid at 100C, what is the convection coefficient?

2.37 The steady-state temperature distribution in a semitransparent material of thermal conductivity
