A hollow aluminum sphere, with an electrical heater in the center, is used in tests to determine the thermal conductivity of ins

ulating materials. The inner and outer radii of the sphere are 0.15 and 0.18 m, respectively, and testing is done under steady-state conditions with the inner surface of the aluminum maintained at 250°C. In a particular test, a spherical shell of insulation is cast on the outer surface of the sphere to a thickness of 0.12 m. The system is in a room for which the air temperature is 20°C and the convection coefficient at the outer surface of the insulation is 30 W/m2·K. If 70W are dissipated by the heater under steady-state conditions, what is the thermal conductivity of the insulation?

Answer:

k_{ins}  = 0.0541 W/m. K

Explanation:

Given data:

inner radii of sphere is 0.15

outer radii of sphere is 0.18 m

thickness of given insulation is 0.12m

outer radius of given insulation is 0.18 + 0.12 = 0.30 m

inner temperature of surface os 250 degree C  = 523 k

T_{\infity} = 293 K

convective coffcient is h= 30 W/m^2 -K

For given condition, rate of heat transfer is given as

q = \frac{T_s -T_{\infty}}{R}

where R is thermal resistance

R = R_{cond} + R_{cond, ins} + R_{conv}

R =\frac{1}{4\pi K_a} [\frac{1}{r_i} - \frac{1}{r_o}] + \frac{1}{4\pi K_{ins}} [\frac{1}{r_0} - \frac{1}{r}] + \frac{1}{4\pi r^2 h}

fro aluminum at T = 523 K, Thermal conductivity isK_a = 230 W/m. K

R =\frac{1}{4\pi \times 230} [\frac{1}{0.15} - \frac{1}{0.18}] + \frac{1}{4\pi K_{ins}} [\frac{1}{.18} - \frac{1}{0.30}] + \frac{1}{4\pi 0.30^2 30}

R = 0.02985 + \frac{0.1763}{k_{ins}} K/W

FROM

q = \frac{T_s -T_{\infty}}{R}

70 = \frac{523 - 293}{0.02985 + \frac{0.1763}{k_{ins}}}

solving forR_{ins}

0.02985 + \frac{0.1763}{k_{ins}} = 3.285

\frac{0.1763}{k_{ins}}  = 3.255

k_{ins}  = 0.0541 W/m. K

marishachu [46]

The complete question is;

The wheel and the attached reel have a combined weight of 50 lb and a radius of gyration about their center of ka = 6 in. If pulley B that is attached to the motor is subjected to a torque of M = 50 lb.ft, determine the velocity of the 200lb crate after the pulley has turned 5 revolutions. Neglect the mass of the pulley.

The image of this system is attached.

Answer:

Velocity = 11.8 ft/s

Explanation:

Since the wheel at A rotates about a fixed axis, then;

v_c = ω•r_c

r_c is 4.5 in. Let's convert it to ft.

So, r_c = 4.5/12 ft = 0.375 ft

Thus;

v_c = 0.375ω

Now the mass moment of inertia about of wheel A about it's mass centre is given as;

I_a = m•(k_a)²

The mass in in lb, so let's convert to slug. So, m = 50/32.2 slug = 1.5528 slug

Also, let's convert ka from inches to ft.

So, ka = 6/12 = 0.5

So,I_a = 1.5528 × 0.5²

I_a = 0.388 slug.ft²

The kinetic energy of the system would be;

T = Ta + Tc

Where; Ta = ½•I_a•ω²

And Tc = ½•m_c•(v_c)²

So, T = ½•I_a•ω² + ½•m_c•(v_c)²

Now, m_c is given as 200 lb.

Converting to slug, we have;

m_c = (200/32.2) slugs

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

T = (½•0.388•ω²) + (½•(200/32.2)•(0.375ω)²)

This now gives;

T = 0.6307 ω²

The system is initially at rest at T1 = 0.

Resolving forces at A, we have; Ax, Ay and Wa. These 3 forces do no work.

Whereas at B, M does positive work and at C, W_c does negative work.

When pulley B rotates, it has an angle of; θ_b = 5 revs × 2π rad/revs = 10π

While the wheel rotates through an angle of;θ_a = (rb/ra) • θ_b

Where, rb = 3 in = 3/12 ft = 0.25 ft

ra = 7.5 in = 7.5/12 ft = 0.625 ft

So, θ_a = (0.25/0.625) × 10π

θ_a = 4π

Thus, we can say that the crate will have am upward displacement through a distance;

s_c = r_c × θ_a = 0.375 × 4π

s_c = 1.5π ft

So, the work done by M is;

U_m = M × θ_b

U_m = 50lb × 10π

U_m = 500π

Also,the work done by W_c is;

U_Wc = -W_c × s_c = -200lb × 1.5π

U_Wc = -300π

From principle of work and energy;

T1 + (U_m + U_Wc) = T

Since T1 is zero as stated earlier,

Thus ;

0 + 500π - 300π = 0.6307 ω²

0.6307ω² = 200π

ω² = 200π/0.6307

ω² = 996.224

ω = √996.224

ω = 31.56 rad/s

We earlier derived that;v_c = 0.375ω

Thus; v_c = 0.375 × 31.56

v_c = 11.8 ft/s
