Kirchhoff was the first to describe qualitatively the types of spectra we observe from luminous objects. Describe the three types and their sources
What will be an ideal response?
His first law has dense hot objects creating a continuous spectrum. In the second law, a low density hot gas gives off bright emission lines. In the third law, a cool thin gas in front of a continuous source will absorb some of the energies, creating dark lines in the spectrum.

Reconsider the heat exchanger of Problem 6.38 with an inline tube arrangement, where the centerlines of the tubes are spaced 7.5 cm apart, both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Compare the results with those for the staggered tube arrangement and comment upon the difference. Also, which of the two arrangements is expected to have a larger pressure drop?
GIVEN
