Engineers must understand the thermal properties of materials to be able to predict the performance of any given material over its lifetime in a specific application. Engineers apply their understanding of the thermal properties of materials to the design of efficient heat transfer materials for better engines, spacecraft and electronic devices. They also examine the thermal properties of insulation to design more efficient buildings and homes. Engineers develop ways to minimize heat transfer from a motor to the surrounding environment. Often they find ways to insulate the motor to decrease the convective heat transfer from the motor. They design a refrigerator to keep heat out of the inside, as well as keep the refrigerator contents cool. hope this helped

Describe the principle of conversation of energy:
exis [7]

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc

How does a heat pump resemble a refrigeration system?
REY [17]
A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.

When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.

an object 50 cm high is placed 1 m in front of a converging lens whose focal length is 1.5 m. determine the image height (in cm)
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Given :

An object 50 cm high is placed 1 m in front of a converging lens whose focal length is 1.5 m.

To Find :

the image height (in cm).

Solution :

By lens formula :

\dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{u} = \dfrac{1}{f}

Here, u = - 100 cm

f =  150 cm

\dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{-100} = \dfrac{1}{150}\\\\v = - 300 \ cm

Now, magnification is given by :

m = \dfrac{v}{u} = \dfrac{h_i}{h_o}\\\\h_i = \dfrac{300}{100}\times 1\\\\h_i = 3 \ m

Therefore, the image height is 3 m or 300 cm.
