How is the thermal energy of the radiator transferred to the surrounding air

1 answer:

6 0

Radiant energy. The heat in the radiator does not transfer from the radiator by convection because the heat in the radiator is inside the radiator and not a part of the surrounding air. There is a casing surrounding that heat source; the air cannot get to that heat source directly.

Here's what really happens. Radiant energy from the radiator honeycomb heats the surrounding air. And the heated surrounding air then carries off that heat by convection. My point is this... thermal energy is transferred from the radiator to the surrounding air as radiant energy. Only after that energy is in the air does convection play a role in the heat transfer.

How long will it take an object to hit the ground if dropped from 100 meters

mash [69]

Answer:

The answer depends on what object you are dropping. Are you dropping a balloon or a car? (I'm joking 'bout that one.) If the mass of the object is very little, then it might drop slower. If the mass is bigger, then it might drop faster.

Good luck!

A person walks the path shown below. The total trip consists of four straight-line paths.

dmitriy555 [2]

At the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

<h3>What is resultant displacement?</h3>

The resultant displacement of an object is the change in position of the object. It can be described as the shortest distance connecting the final position of the object to the initial position of the object.

<h3>Net horizontal displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 40 m

Path 2 = 0 m

Path 3 = 110 m x cos(30) = 95.26 m

Path 4 = 180 m x cos(60) = 90 m

Total horizontal displacement, X = 40 m + 0 m + 95.26 m + 90 m = 225.26 m

<h3>Net vertical displacement </h3>

Path 1 = 0 m

Path 2 = 230 m

Path 3 = 110 m x sin(30) = 55 m

Path 4 = 180 m x sin(60) = 155.885 m

Total horizontal displacement, Y = 0 m + 230 m + 55 m + 155.885 m = 440.885 m

<h3>Resultant displacement</h3>

R = √(X² + Y²)

R = √(225.26² + 440.885²)

R = 495.1 m

<h3>Direction of the displacement</h3>

θ = arc tan (Y/X)

θ = arc tan (440.885/225.26)

θ = 63⁰

Thus, at the end of the walk, the person's resultant displacement is 495.1 m at 63⁰ south of west.

0.5-lbm of a saturated vapor is converted to asaturated liquid by being cooled in a weighted piston-cylinder device maintained a

klio [65]

Answer:

The boiling point temperature of this substance when its pressure is 60 psia is 480.275 R

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using the Clapeyron equation

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } = \frac{h_{fg}}{Tv_{fg}}$

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } = \frac{\frac{H_{fg}}{m} }{T\frac{V_{fg}}{m} }$

where $h_{fg$ is the change in enthalpy of saturated vapor to saturated liquid ( 250 Btu

T is the temperature ( 15 + 460 )R

m is the mass of water ( 0.5 Ibm )

$V_{fg$ is specific volume ( 1.5 ft³ )

we substitute

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } =( \frac{250Btu\frac{778Ibf-ft}{Btu} }{0.5})$ / $( (15+460)\frac{1.5}{0.5})$

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } =$ 272.98 Ibf-ft²/R

Now,

$(\frac{dP}{dT} )_{sat } =$ $(\frac{P_2 - P_1}{T_2 - T_1})_{sat$

where P₁ is the initial pressure ( 50 psia )

P₂ is the final pressure ( 60 psia )

T₁ is the initial temperature ( 15 + 460 )R

T₂ is the final temperature = ?

we substitute;

$T_2$ $= ( 15 + 460 ) + \frac{(60-50)psia(\frac{144in^2}{ft^2}) }{272.98}$

$T_2 = 475 + 5.2751\\$

$T_2 =$ 480.275 R

Therefore, boiling point temperature of this substance when its pressure is 60 psia is 480.275 R
