Question: ( 3 0 points ) see figure below - During excavation of a creek, the hydraulic piston of a heavy machine rests in the water.

(30 points) see figure below - During excavation of a creek, the hydraulic piston of a heavy machine rests in the water. During extended use, the piston generates significant heat, warranting analysis if a heat exchanger is needed. Model the piston as a cylinder, and use properties for water at the film temperature. Hints: For parts a. and b., model as a cylinder in cross flow. For parts c. and d., model as a vertical plate.
a. For the case of flowing water, what is the heat transfer coefficient Wm2*(K)?
b. For the case of flowing water, what is the rate of heat transfer [W]?
c. For the case of still water, what is the heat transfer coefficient Wm2*(K)?
d. For the case of still water, what is the rate of heat transfer [W]?
e. For the combined case, i.e. considering both forced and free convection, what is the heat transfer coefficient Wm2*(K)?
f. For the combined case, i.e. considering both forced and free convection, what is the rate of heat transfer [W]?
