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

An LED camping headlamp can run for 18 hours, powered by three AAA batteries. The batteries each have a capacity of 1000 mAh, an
KIM [24]

Answer:

a) the power consumption of the LEDs is 0.25 watt

b) the LEDs drew 0.0555 Amp current

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Three AAA Batteries;

<---- 1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v ------1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v --------1000mAh [ + -] 1.5 v------

so V_total = 3 × 1.5 = 4.5V

a) the power consumption of the LEDs

I_battery = 1000 mAh / 18hrs    { for 18 hrs}

I_battery = 1/18 Amp    { delivery by battery}

so consumption by led = I × V_total

we substitute

⇒ 1/18 × 4.5

P = 0.25 watt

Therefore the power consumption of the LEDs is 0.25 watt

b) How much current do the LEDs draw

I_Draw = I_battery = 1/18 Amp = 0.0555 Amp

Therefore the LEDs drew 0.0555 Amp current

Given frequency, what is the formula for the period of a wave?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

f = c / λ = wave speed c (m/s) / wavelength λ (m). The formula for time is: T (period) = 1 / f (frequency). λ = c / f = wave speed c (m/s) / frequency f (Hz). The unit hertz (Hz) was once called cps = cycles per second.
