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

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of t
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

K = σT/ (εT)ⁿ

given that metal alloy true stress σT = 345 Mpa, plastic true strain εT = 0.02,

strain-hardening exponent n = 0.22

we substitute

K = 345 / 0.02^{0.22

K = 815.8165 Mpa

next, we determine the true strain

(εT) = (σT/ K)^1/n

given that σT = 412 MPa

we substitute

(εT) = (412 / 815.8165 )^(1/0.22)

(εT) = 0.04481 mm

Now, we calculate the instantaneous length

l_i = l_0e^{ET

given that l_0 = 480 mm

we substitute

l_i =480mm × e^{0.04481

l_i =  501.998 mm

Now we find the elongation;

Elongation = l_i - l_0

we substitute

Elongation = 501.998 mm - 480 mm

Elongation = 21.998 mm

Therefore, the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm

Do the coil resistances have any effect on the plots?
PolarNik [594]
Because of the skin depth effect, the current at high frequency tends to flow at very low depth from radius. Then at high frequency the effective cross section of the wire is narrower than at DC.

Fro example skin depth at 100 kHz is 0.206 mm (0.008”), a wire more thicker than AWG26 could be a waste of copper, better use a bunch of thin wire (Litz wire) to rise the Q factor.

           cout << "\n " << s[i] << " is not a palindrome... \n";

       }

   }    

       

   return 0;

}
