In the experimental determination of the heat transfer coefficient between a heated steel ball and crushed mineral solids, a series of 1.5% carbon steel balls were heated to a temperature of 700°C and the center temperature-time history of each was measured with a thermocouple as it cooled in a bed of crushed iron ore that was placed in a steel drum rotating horizontally at about 30 rpm. For a 5-cm-diameter ball, the time required for the temperature difference between the ball center and the surrounding ore to decrease from 500°C initially to 250°C was found to be 64, 67, and 72 s, respectively, in three different test runs. Determine the average heat transfer coefficient between the ball and the ore. Compare the results obtained by assuming the thermal conductivity to be infinite

with those obtained by taking the internal thermal resistance of the ball into account.

A researcher is using x-rays to investigating a cubic crystal. He is looking at Bragg reflection from the planes parallel to the cube faces

He finds that when using x-rays with a wavelength of 0.165 nm, a strong first maximum occurs when the beam makes an angle of 23.5° with the planes. What is the spacing of adjacent atoms in this crystal?
