In a condenser of a refrigeration unit, saturated vapor R-134a flows at 0.5 m/s into a 0.5 cm diameter horizontal tube. The tube inside surface temperature is 30ºC and the R- 134a is at 80ºC. Estimate the convective heat transfer coefficient and the expected tube length required for complete condensation of the R-134a. Use hnfg of 106.3 kJ/kg, ?f of 927.6 kg/m3, ?g of 153.8 kg/m3, and cp, ?, and ? at 400C.

The 500-m-long spaceship Springbrake is at rest on the planet Hitest for refueling. Another spaceship, Summerbrake, passes parallel to Springbrake at 0.600c. The crew on Springbrake measure the length of Summerbrake as it passes and find that the length they measure is exactly the same as the known 500-m rest length of Springbrake. If Summerbrake were at rest next to Springbrake, its length would

then be measured to be a. 180 m. b. 320 m. c. 500 m. d. 625 m. e. 781 m.
