For an opaque surface, the absorptivity $$\left( \alpha \right),$$ transmissivity $$\left( \tau \right)$$ and reflectivity $$\left( \rho \right)$$ are related by the equation:

Consider two infinitely long thin concentric tubes of circular cross section as shown in the figure. If $${D_1}$$ and $${D_2}$$ are the diameters of the inner and outer tubes respectively, then the view factor $${F_{22}}$$ is given by

Water $$\left( {{C_p} = 4.18\,kJ/kg.K} \right)$$ at $${80^ \circ }C$$ enters a counter flow heat exchanger with a mass flow rate of $$0.5kg/s.$$ Air $$\left( {{C_p} = 1\,kJ/kg.\,K} \right)$$ enters at $${80^ \circ }C$$ with a mass flow rate $$2.09$$ $$kg/s.$$ If the effectiveness of the heat exchanger is $$0.8,$$ the $$LMTD$$ (in $$^ \circ C$$) is

For a particular project, eight activities are to be carried out. Their relationships with other activities and expected durations are mentioned in the table below.

The critical path for the project is
