Answer:

The thickness of the material is 6.23 cm

Explanation:

Given;

quantity of heat, Q = 6706.8 *10⁶ kcal

duration of the heat transfer, t = 5 months

thermal conductivity of copper, k = 385 W/mk

outside temperature of the heater, T₁ = 30° C

inside temperature of the heater, T₂ = 50° C

dimension of the rectangular heater = 450 cm by 384 cm

1 kcal = 1.163000 Watt-hour

6706.8 *10⁶ kcal = 7800008400 watt-hour

I month = 730 hours

5 months = 3650 hours

Rate of heat transfer, P = $\frac{7800008400 \ Watt-Hour}{3650 \ Hours} = 2136988.6 \ W$

Rate of heat transfer, $P = \frac{K*A *\delta T}{L}$

where;

P is the rate of heat transfer (W)

k si the thermal conductivity (W/mk)

ΔT is change in temperature (K)

A is area of the heater (m²)

L is thickness of the heater (m)

$P = \frac{KA(T_2-T_1)}{L} \\\\L = \frac{KA(T_2-T_1)}{P}\\\\L = \frac{385(4.5*3.84)(50-30)}{2136988.6}\\\\L = 0.0623 \ m$

L = 6.23 cm

Therefore, the thickness of the material is 6.23 cm

A completely reversible heat pump produces heat at a rate of 300 kW to warm a house maintained at 24 °C. The exterior air, which

trapecia [35]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance of the reversible heat pump is determined by the Carnot's cycle:

$COP_{HP} = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP_{HP} = \frac{297.15\,K}{297.15\,K-280.15\,K}$

$COP_{HP} = 3.339$

The power required to make the heat pump working is:

$\dot W = \frac{300\,kW}{3.339}$

$\dot W = 89.847\,kW$

The heat absorbed from the exterior air is:

$\dot Q_{L} = 300\,kW - 89.847\,kW$

$\dot Q_{L} = 210.153\,kW$

According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the entropy generation rate in a reversible cycle must be zero. The formula for the heat pump is:

$\frac{\dot Q_{L}}{T_{L}} - \frac{\dot Q_{H}}{T_{H}} + \dot S_{gen} = 0$

$\dot S_{gen} = \frac{\dot Q_{H}}{T_{H}} - \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{T_{L}}$

$\dot S_{gen} = \frac{300\,kW}{297.15\,K}-\frac{210.153\,kW}{280.15\,K}$

$\dot S_{gen} = 0.259\,\frac{kW}{K}$

Which contradicts the reversibility criterion according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

(a) The reverse-saturation current of a pn junction diode is IS = 10−11 A. Determine the diode voltage to produce currents of (i

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The equation used to solve a diode is

$i_d = I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}-1$

$i_d$ is the current going through the diode
$I_s$ is your saturation current
$V_D$ is the voltage across your diode
$V_T$ is the voltage of the diode at a certain room temperature. by default, you always use $V_T=25.9mV$ for room temperature.

If you look at the equation, $i_d = I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}-1$ , you'd notice that the $e^\frac{V_d}{V_T}$ grow exponentially fast, so we can ignore the -1 in the equation because it's so small compared to the exponential.

$i_d = I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}-1$

$i_d\approx I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}$

Therefore, use $i_d= I_se^\frac{V_d}{V_T}$ to solve your equation.

Rearrange your equation to solve for $V_D$ .

$V_D=V_Tln(\frac{i_D}{I_s})$

a.)

i.)

You're given $I_s=10^{-11}A$

at $i_d=10\mu A$ , $V_D=V_Tln(\frac{i_D}{I_s})=(25.9\cdot10^{-3})ln(\frac{10\cdot10^{-6}}{10\cdot10^{-11}})=.298V$

at $i_d=100\mu A$ , $V_D=V_Tln(\frac{i_D}{I_s})=(25.9\cdot10^{-3})ln(\frac{100\cdot10^{-6}}{10\cdot10^{-11}})=.358V$

at $i_d=1mA$ , $V_D=V_Tln(\frac{i_D}{I_s})=(25.9\cdot10^{-3})ln(\frac{1\cdot10^{-3}}{10\cdot10^{-11}})=.417V$

<em>note: always use</em> $V_T=25.9mV$

ii.)

Just repeat part (i) but change to $I_s=-5\cdot10^{-12}A$

b.)

same process as part A. You do the rest of the problem by yourself.

A laminated steel ring is wound with 3000 turns. When the magnetism current varies between 7 and 9 A, the magnetic flux varies b

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

60000 H

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of turns; N = 3000 turns

Change in flux = 900 - 860 = 40 Wb

Change in current = 9 - 7 = 2 A

Now, the formula for incremental inductance is given as:

L = N(Change in flux/Change in current) where;

N is Number of turns

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

L = 3000(40/2)

L = 60000 H.
