A spacecraft heat exchanger is to operate in a nitrogen atmosphere at a pressure of about 104

Question:

A spacecraft heat exchanger is to operate in a nitrogen atmosphere at a pressure of about 104 N/m2 and 38?C. For a flat-plate heat exchanger designed to operate on earth, in air at one atmosphere and 38?C in turbulent flow, estimate the ratio of heat-transfer coefficients on the earth to that in nitrogen, assuming forced circulation cooling of the flat plate surface at the same velocity in both cases.GIVENFlat plate heat exchangers in turbulent flow in air and nitrogenNitrogen pressure = 104 N/m2Nitrogen and air temperature (T??) = 38?CAir pressure = 1 atm = 101,300 N/m2ASSUMPTIONSForced circulation coding of the plate surfaces at the same velocity in both casesSteady stateMoisture in the air is negligibleThe laminar portion of the boundary layer is negligibleVariation of Nitrogen properties with pressure is negligibleNitrogen behaves as an idealgas

I am a highly enthusiastic person who likes to explain concepts in simplified language. Be it in my job role as a manager of 4 people or when I used to take classes for specially able kids at our university. I did this continuously for 3 years and my god, that was so fulfilling. Sometimes I've skipped my own classes just to teach these kids and help them get their fair share of opportunities, which they would have missed out on. This was the key driver for me during that time. But since I've joined my job I wasn't able to make time for my passion of teaching due to hectic schedules. But now I've made a commitment to teach for at least an hour a day. I am highly proficient in school level math and science and reasonably good for college level. In addition to this I am especially interested in courses related to finance and economics. In quest to learn I recently gave the CFA level 1 in Dec 19, hopefully I'll clear it. Finger's crossed :)

For this experiment we need-One glass bottle (opening slightly smaller than an egg)-A matchbox-One peeled boiled eggIn this demonstration, the lit matchsticks heat the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands and some of it escapes out of the bottle. When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts thus creating a lower air pressure area inside the bottle than outside. Normally, the high-pressure air outside the bottle would come rushing in to equalize the low-pressure air in the bottle. The problem is that the egg is in the way. The air molecules on the outside of the bottle push the egg into the bottle.•Procedure• Place a glass bottle on the table.• Boil a normal-sized egg and• Place the boiled egg on the face or neck of the bottle.• We can see the egg cannot be pushed into the bottle because of air inside the bottle.• Now light the matches at the same time and drop them into the bottle.• Once the matchsticks have been dropped into the bottle Quickly Place the egg over the neck of the bottle.• You can see the egg is sucked into the bottle.This represents the air pressure and characteristics of air.
