A condenser is used as a heat exchanger in a large steam power plant in which steam is condensed to liquid water. The condenser is a shell and tube heat exchanger which consists of 1 shell and 20,000 tubes. Water flows through each of the tubes at a rate of 1 kg/s with an inlet temperature of 30 °C. The steam in the condenser shell condenses at the rate of 430 kg/s at a temperature of 50 °C. If the heat of vaporization is 2.326 MJ/kg and specific heat of water is 4 kJ/(kg.K), the effectiveness of the heat exchanger is _______ (rounded off to 3 decimal places).

Consider a hemispherical furnace of diameter $ D = 6 \text{ m} $ with a flat base. The dome of the furnace has an emissivity of 0.7 and the flat base is a blackbody. The base and the dome are maintained at uniform temperature of 300 K and 1200 K, respectively. Under steady state conditions, the rate of radiation heat transfer from the dome to the base is _______ kW (rounded off to the nearest integer).

Use Stefan-Boltzmann constant = $5.67 \times 10^{-8} \text{ W/(m}^2 \text{ K}^4 \text{)}$

A set of jobs $U, V, W, X, Y, Z$ arrive at time $t = 0$ to a production line consisting of two workstations in series. Each job must be processed by both workstations in sequence (i.e., the first followed by the second). The process times (in minutes) for each job on each workstation in the production line are given below.

JobUVWXYZ
Workstation 1573468
