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

What do you think the top TWO game elements are that directly contribute to player immersion?
fredd [130]
Sound (like music and background sound) and detail. The music and background sound is what sets the mood for the game. In horror games, the sound is sometimes uneasy to make the player feel anxious, and when something chases you the music turns into fast-pace and making the player scared and feel that adrenaline. The detail also is a great factor. The more realistic a game is, the more it feels like real life and determines if the player will get a real reaction from the game.

A material point in equilibrium has 1 independent component of shear stress in the xz plane. a)True b)- False
ozzi

Answer:

True

Explanation:

For point in xz plane the stress tensor is given by\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Dx_{} &txz\\tzx&Dz\\\end{array}\right]

where Dx is the direct stress along x ; Dz is direct stress along z ;  tzx and txz are the  shear stress components

We know that the stress tensor matrix is symmetrical which means that tzx = txz  ( obtained by moment equlibrium )

thus we require only 1 independent component of shear stress to define the whole stress tensor at a point in 2D plane
