In space-based systems, such as the International Space Station, for example, highly efficient cooling systems are deployed that involve force convection boiling. In a laboratory experiment to develop one such system, a test liquid, which has the physical properties given, flows inside a vertical tube of 1.905 cm (or 0.75 in) inner diameter with a mass flux (or mass velocity) of 680 kg/(m2s). Determine the heat transfer coefficient at a point along the length of the tube at which the quality is 0.3. The wall temperature at this location was measured to be 1800C.
GIVEN
? 1.905 cm vertical tube with flowing, boiling water inside
? Test liquid with properties given above
? Mass flux (G)= 680 kg/(m2s)
FIND
(a) Heat transfer coefficient at a point along the length of the tube at which the quality is 0.3
ASSUMPTIONS
? The method of Chen is applicable
? Prandtl number of the fluid is Prl=1.0

In 1975 the roof of Montreal's Velodrome, with a weight of 360 kN, was lifted by 10 cm so that it could be centered. How much work was done on the roof by the forces making the lift? In 1960 Mrs. Maxwell Rogers of Tampa, Florida, reportedly raised one end of a car that had fallen onto her son when a jack failed. If her panic lift effectively raised 4000 N (about 1/4 of the car's weight) by 5.0 cm, how much work did her force do on the car?
