A heating cable is embedded in a concrete slab for snow melting. The heating cable is heated electrically with joule heating to

provide the concrete slab with a uniform heat of 1200 W/ m2. The concrete has a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m⋅K. To minimize thermal stress in the concrete, the temperature difference between the heater surface (T1) and the slab surface (T2) should not exceed 16°C (2015 ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications, Chapter. 51). Formulate the temperature profile in the concrete slab, and determine the thickness of the concrete slab (L) so that T1 − T2 ≤ 16°C.

Answer:

18.7 mm

Explanation:

Fourier's law for heat conduction on a plate is:

q = -k/t * ΔT

Where

q: heat conducted per unit of time and surface

k: thermal conductivity

t: thickness of the plate

ΔT: temperature difference

Rearranging:

t = -k/q * ΔT

t = -1.4/(-1200) * 16 = 0.0187 m = 18.7 mm (q is negative because it is heat leaving the plate)

The maximum thickness of the concrete slab is 18.7 mm.

Answer:

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%

Explanation:

Hello!

The first thing we must consider to solve this problem is the continuity equation that states that the amount of mass flow that enters a system is the same as what should come out.

m1=m2

Now remember that mass flow is given by the product of density, cross-sectional area and velocity

(α1)(V1)(A1)=(α2)(V2)(A2)

where

α=density

V=velocity

A=area

Now we can assume that the input and output areas are equal

(α1)(V1)=(α2)(V2)

\frac{V2}{V1} =\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2}

Now we can use the equation that defines the percentage of increase, in this case for speed

i=(\frac{V2}{V1} -1) 100

Now we use the equation obtained in the previous step, and replace values

i=(\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2} -1) 100\\i=(\frac{1.2}{0.955} -1) 100=25.65

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%
