An auxiliary motor to the rotation mechanism of an equipment uses specific valves in An auxiliary motor to the rotation mechanism of an equipment uses specific valves in its operation. These valves are made from a proprietary metal alloy by the Xpto company. During the production of these valves, each valve undergoes a heating process from 40 C to 800 C that lasts 5 minutes. A valve can be described as the union of two components: the head and the rod. The rod consists of a 10 cm cylinder with 0.8 in diameter, while the head is a thin circular plate whose surface area is equal tothe surface area of the rod. Each valve, in its head + rod assembly, weighs exactly 78.8 g.Determine: (a) the amount, velocity and flow of heat transferred to a single valve. (b) the total number of valves that can be heat treated per day, in a scenario where the heat treatment section simultaneously processes 25 valves and operates for 10 hours continuously. Data: Cp = 440 J/kg.oCp = 7840 kg/m3.
