    This document provides two homework problems for a thermal systems design course. The first problem involves fitting torque and current data to a power curve model to determine the relationship between the two variables. The second problem involves fitting pipe diameter, slope, and flow rate data to a model to determine the flow rate as a function of diameter and slope. Students are asked to perform the curve fitting manually and using MATLAB or MATHEMATICA to solve the problems.

    MM498 THERMAL SYSTEM DESIGN HOMEWORK #1 (Due on March 28, 2013)

    1) Tests are performed to determine the relation between torque and current for direct current electric motor, and the following data is obtained. Fit the given data to a curve of form T=aIb.

    T (Nm) I (A)

    100 8

    200 11.31

    300 13.85

    400 16

    2) Tests performed to determine the flow rate in a pipe as a function of the diameter and the slope of the pipe yielded the following data: Test No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 D (m) 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 Slope S 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.05 0.05 0.05 Flow Rate (m3/s) 1.4 8.3 24.2 4.7 28.9 84.0 11.1 69.0 200.0

    Fit the given data to a curve of form Q=a0Da1Sa2.

    NOTE: Show all steps of the calculations. Also use a program such as MATLAB or MATEMATICA and compare your results with results obtained using these programs.
