- P3: A differential band brake shown in the figure below uses a woven lining having a design value of the friction coefficient f=0.20. Dimensions are b=80 mm, r=250 mm, c=700 mm, a = 150 mm, s=35 mm, and 0=240°. Find 1) the brake torque if the maximum lining pressure is 0.5 MPa, 2) the corresponding actuating force F, and 3) the values of dimensions that would cause the brake to be self-locking.

The top surface of the furnace is uniformly heated by a resistance heater. During operation, the top surface is measured to be 800 K and the power supplied to the resistance heater is 1750 W/m². The sidewall of the furnace is perfectly insulated with ε = 0.2. If the emissivity of the top and bottom surfaces are ε = 0.5 and > = 0.7, respectively, determine the temperatures of the sidewall and the bottom surface of the furnace.

- You are designing an industrial furnace to keep pieces of sheet metal at a fixed temperature. You decide a long, hemispherical furnace will be the best choice. The hemispherical portion is built from insulating brick to reflect the radiation from a ceramic plate onto the sheet metal and the ceramic plate is heated by gas burners from below. An insulating wall prevents direct transmission of radiative energy from the ceramic plate to the sheet metal. The radius of the hemisphere is 1 m and the rest of the system properties can be found in the table below. You may neglect convection during your analysis. Temperature Emissivity Ceramic Plate 1600 K ε = 0.85 Sheet Metal 500 K Insulating Brick unknown € = 1 ε = 0.6 a) Calculate the required heat input, in W, per unit length of the furnace (out of the page) that must be supplied by the gas burners to maintain the specified temperatures. b) What is the temperature of the insulating brick surface?
