A thermal energy storage unit consists of a large rectangular channel, which is well insulated on its outer surface and encloses

alternating layers of the storage material and the flow passage. Each layer of the storage material is an aluminum slab of width W=0.05 m, which is at an initial temperature of 25∘C25 ∘C. Consider conditions for which the storage unit is charged by passing a hot gas through the passages, with the gas temperature and the convection coefficient assumed to have constant values of T[infinity]=600∘CT [infinity]=600 ∘C and h=100W/m2⋅Kh=100W/m 2⋅K throughout the channel. How long will it take to achieve 75% of the maximum possible energy storage? What is the temperature of the aluminum at this time?

Answer:

the temperature of the aluminum at this time is 456.25° C

Explanation:

Given that:

width w of the aluminium slab = 0.05 m

the initial temperature T_1 = 25° C

T{\infty} =600^0C

h = 100 W/m²

The properties of Aluminium at temperature of 600° C by considering the conditions for which the storage unit is charged; we have ;

density ρ = 2702 kg/m³

thermal conductivity k = 231 W/m.K

Specific heat c = 1033 J/Kg.K

Let's first find the Biot Number Bi which can be expressed by the equation:

Bi = \dfrac{hL_c}{k} \\ \\ Bi = \dfrac{h \dfrac{w}{2}}{k}

Bi = \dfrac{hL_c}{k} \\ \\ Bi = \dfrac{100 \times \dfrac{0.05}{2}}{231}

Bi = \dfrac{2.5}{231}

Bi = 0.0108

The time constant value \tau_t is :

\tau_t = \dfrac{pL_cc}{h} \\ \\ \tau_t = \dfrac{p \dfrac{w}{2}c}{h}

\tau_t = \dfrac{2702* \dfrac{0.05}{2}*1033}{100}

\tau_t = \dfrac{2702* 0.025*1033}{100}

\tau_t = 697.79

Considering Lumped capacitance analysis since value for Bi is less than 1

Then;

Q= (pVc)\theta_1 [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ \tau_1}}]

where;

Q = -\Delta E _{st} which correlates with the change in the internal energy of the solid.

So;

Q= (pVc)\theta_1 [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ \tau_1}}]= -\Delta E _{st}

The maximum value for the change in the internal energy of the solid  is :

(pVc)\theta_1 = -\Delta E _{st}max

By equating the two previous equation together ; we have:

\dfrac{-\Delta E _{st}}{\Delta E _{st}{max}}= \dfrac{  (pVc)\theta_1 [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ \tau_1}}]} { (pVc)\theta_1}

Similarly; we need to understand that the ratio of the energy storage to the maximum possible energy storage = 0.75

Thus;

0.75=  [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ \tau_1}}]}

So;

0.75=  [1-e^{\dfrac {-t}{ 697.79}}]}

1-0.75=  [e^{\dfrac {-t}{ 697.79}}]}

0.25 =  e^{\dfrac {-t}{ 697.79}}

In(0.25) =  {\dfrac {-t}{ 697.79}}

-1.386294361= \dfrac{-t}{697.79}

t = 1.386294361 × 697.79

t = 967.34 s

Finally; the temperature of Aluminium is determined as follows;

\dfrac{T - T _{\infty}}{T_1-T_{\infty}}= e ^ {\dfrac{-t}{\tau_t}}

\dfrac{T - 600}{25-600}= e ^ {\dfrac{-967.34}{697.79}

\dfrac{T - 600}{25-600}= 0.25

\dfrac{T - 600}{-575}= 0.25

T - 600 = -575 × 0.25

T - 600 = -143.75

T = -143.75 + 600

T = 456.25° C

Hence; the temperature of the aluminum at this time is 456.25° C

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

first is the parentheses, (3+2)=5 next is the exponent 5^2=25, next is the division 5 / 5 = 1, then the multiplication 4*1=4 and then you add 4+25=29. so the answer is 29.

Discuss the impact of the changing urban center. Include the impacts on political, economic, and social roles and opportunities.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The 21st century world have been earmarked with great influx of people to the urban centre,the notion of gender equality and female education have also made most traditional roles in the family changing.Before now,wives we're known for their full independence on their husband who is considered the bread winner.

Inspite of the growth of of the urban centre the availability of resources have dwindled,resulting in the surge of unemployment in many urban centre,the political entity of the society which is the government have serious challenging in managing the various threat posed by overpopulation, unemployment results in the decrease of standard of living of person and family,to cater for this family have to change their roles,wives now work to support the husband.

What does WCS stand for? A. Western CAD System B. Worldwide Coordinate Sectors C. World Coordinate System D. Wrong CAD Settings
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. World Coordinate System

Explanation:

The World Coordinate System has to do with that coordinate system which is fixed in the activities of the CADing. There is a default system in which we can refer to them as soon as we want to manipulate the objects and add new elements.
