PROBLEM 1.2. Heat Transfer in Spherical Boiling Egg
An egg at room temperature (20 o
C ) is submerged in boiling water at t = 0. We assume that the egg is perfectly spherical with radius R, that flow does not play a role in this problem, that the water temperature remains constant at 100 o
C , and that the egg has homogeneous medium properties. a) Give the equation that governs the non-stationary temperature distribution inside the egg.
Argue which terms can be neglected. Specify the initial conditions and the boundary conditions. b) Rewrite the equations into dimensionless form.
Note : Assume if u need to.
PROBLEM 1.3. Laminar flow in a narrow slit (see Fig. below).
Flow through a slit, with B << W << L.
A Newtonian fluid is in laminar flow in a narrow slit formed by two parallel walls a distance
2B apart. It is understood that B << W, so that "edge effects" are unimportant. Make a differential momentum balance, and obtain the following expressions for the momentum-flux and velocity distribution

The waste acid from a nitrating process contains 15 percent HN03, 45 percent H2S04, and
40 percent H2O by weight. This acid must be concentrated to 25 percent HN03, 50 percent
H2S04, and 25 percent H2O. Available are concentrated solutions of acid in water, one of
95 percent H2S04 and the other of 85 percent HNO3. If 1500 kg of final product is required, find the mass of each concentrated solution to be added.
