A fluid at 300 K flows through a long, thin-walled pipe of 0.2-m diameter. The pipe is enclosed in a concrete casing that is of

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is "1341.288 W/m".

Explanation:

Given that:

T₁ = 300 K

T₂ = 500 K

Diameter,

d = 0.2 m

Length,

l = 1 m

As we know,

The shape factor will be:

⇒ $SF=\frac{2 \pi l}{ln[\frac{1.08 b }{d} ]}$

By putting the value, we get

⇒ $=\frac{2 \pi l}{ln[\frac{1.08\times 1}{0.2} ]}$

⇒ $=3.7258 \ l$

hence,

The heat loss will be:

⇒ $Q=SF\times K(T_2-T_1)$

$=3.7258\times 1\times 1.8\times (500-300)$

$=3.7258\times 1.8\times (200)$

$=1341.288 \ W/m$

Define the terms (a) thermal conductivity, (b) heat capacity and (c) thermal diffusivity

IceJOKER [234]

Explanation:

(a)

The measure of material's ability to conduct thermal energy (heat) is known as thermal conductivity. For examples, metals have high thermal conductivity, it means that they are very efficient at conducting heat. The SI unit of heat capacity is W/m.K.

The expression for thermal conductivity is:

$q=-\kappa \bigtriangledown T$

Where,

q is the heat flux

$\kappa$ is the thermal conductivity

$\bigtriangledown T$ is the temperature gradient.

(b)

Heat capacity for a substance is defined as the ratio of the amount of energy required to change the temperature of the substance and the magnitude of temperature change. The SI unit of heat capacity is J/K.

The expression for Heat capacity is:

$C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}$

Where,

C is the Heat capacity

E is the energy absorbed/released

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

(c)

Thermal diffusivity is defined as the thermal conductivity divided by specific heat capacity at constant pressure and its density. The Si unit of thermal diffusivity is m²/s.

The expression for thermal diffusivity is:

$\alpha=\frac{\kappa}{C_p \times \rho}$

Where,

$\alpha$ is thermal diffusivity

$\kappa$ is the thermal conductivity

$C_p$ is specific heat capacity at constant pressure

$\rho$ is density

A DC generator turns at 2000 rpm and has an output of 200 V. The armature constant is 0.5 V-min/Wb, and the field constant of th

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

b. 10A

Explanation:

Using the formula, E= k × r×I

200= 0.5 ×2000×0.02×I

200=20×I

Dividing with 20

I = 200/20= 10A

What happens in double transverse wishbone front suspension when brakes are applied.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

When the brakes are applied the in the typical double transverse wishbone front suspension, it "drives" the car ground due to the setting of the link-type system pivot points on the lower wishbone are have parallel alignment to the road

Explanation:

In order to minimize the car's reaction to the application of the brakes, the front and rear pivot are arranged with the lower wishbone's rear pivot made to be higher than the front pivot as such the inclined wishbone torque results in an opposing vertical force to the transferred extra weight from the back due to breaking.
