Find the magnetic energy stored in the air gap between two very large magnetic pole pieces, one North, one South, each with an area of 100 cm2 . Assume the 0.05 T magnetic field is uniform within the 2-cm gap
If steam is used as a cleaning agent for removing caffeine attached to the sides of 2-cmdiameter tubes in a coffee processing plant, estimate the time to remove 1 mm of caffeine from the inside of the tubes if steam at 120ºC, 1 atm pressure, is forced through the tubes at 10 m/s. Assume the diffusivity of caffeine into steam is 6 x 10^-6 m^2/s and a density of 800 kg/m^3 for caffeine.

What happens to energy in the convection zone of the Sun?
A) Energy slowly leaks outward through the diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons. B) Energy is produced in the convection zone by nuclear fusion. C) Energy is transported outward by the rising of hot plasma and the sinking of cooler plasma. D) Energy is consumed in the convection zone by the creation of electrons and positrons. E) Energy is conserved so while the gas moves up and down, there is no net transport of energy.
