Answer:

a.) 1.453MW/m2, b.) 2,477,933.33 BTU/hr c.) 22,733.33 BTU/hr d.) 1,238,966.67 BTU/hr

Explanation:

Heat flux is the rate at which thermal (heat) energy is transferred per unit surface area. It is measured in W/m2

Heat transfer(loss or gain) is unit of energy per unit time. It is measured in W or BTU/hr

1W = 3.41 BTU/hr

Given parameters:

thickness, t = 7.5mm = 7.5/1000 = 0.0075m

Temperatures 150 C = 150 + 273 = 423 K

50 C = 50 + 273 = 323 K

Temperature difference, T = 423 - 323 = 100 K

We are assuming steady heat flow;

a.) Heat flux, Q" = kT/t

K= thermal conductivity of the material

The thermal conductivity of brass, k = 109.0 W/m.K

Heat flux, $Q" = \frac{109 * 100}{0.0075} = 1,453,333.33 W/m^{2} \\ Heat flux, Q" = 1.453MW/m^{2} \\$

b.) Area of sheet, A = 0.5m2

Heat loss, Q = kAT/t

Heat loss, $Q = \frac{109*0.5*100}{0.0075} = 726,666.667W$

Heat loss, Q = 726,666.667 * 3.41 = 2,477,933.33 BTU/hr

c.) Material is now given as soda lime glass.

Thermal conductivity of soda lime glass, k is approximately 1W/m.K

Heat loss, $Q=\frac{1*0.5*100}{0.0075} = 6,666.67W$

Heat loss, Q = 6,666.67 * 3.41 = 22,733.33 BTU/hr

d.) Thickness, t is given as 15mm = 15/1000 = 0.015m

Heat loss, $Q=\frac{109*0.5*100}{0.015} =363,333.33W$

Heat loss, Q = 363,333.33 * 3.41 = 1,238,966.67 BTU/hr

Consider the following hypothetical scenario for Jordan Lake, NC. In a given year, the average watershed inflow to the lake is 9

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The lake can withdraw a maximum of $1.464\times 10^{10}$ cubic feet per year to provide water supply for the Triangle area.

Explanation:

The maximum amount of water that can be withdrawn from the lake is represented by the following formula:

$V = V_{in}+V_{p}-V_{e}-V_{out}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$V$ - Available amount of water for water supply in the Triangle area, measured in cubic feet per year.

$V_{in}$ - Inflow amount of water, measured in cubic feet per year.

$V_{out}$ - Amount of water released for the benefit of fish and downstream water users, measured in cubic feet per year.

$V_{p}$ - Amount of water due to precipitation, measured in cubic feet per year.

$V_{e}$ - Amount of evaporated water, measured in cubic feet per year.

Then, we can expand this expression as follows:

$V = f_{in}\cdot \Delta t+h_{p}\cdot A_{l}-h_{e}\cdot A_{l}-f_{out}\cdot \Delta t$

$V = (f_{in}-f_{out})\cdot \Delta t +(h_{p}-h_{e})\cdot A_{l}$ (Eq. 2)

Where:

$f_{in}$ - Average watershed inflow, measured in cubic feet per second.

$f_{out}$ - Average flow to be released, measured in cubic feet per second.

$\Delta t$ - Yearly time, measured in seconds per year.

$h_{p}$ - Change in lake height due to precipitation, measured in feet per year.

$h_{e}$ - Change in lake height due to evaporation, measured in feet per year.

$A_{l}$ - Surface area of the lake, measured in square feet.

If we know that $f_{in} = 900\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s}$ , $f_{out} = 300\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s}$ , $\Delta t = 31,536,000\,\frac{second}{yr}$ , $h_{p} = 32\,\frac{in}{yr}$ , $h_{e} = 55\,\frac{in}{yr}$ and $A_{l} = 47,000\,acres$ , the available amount of water for supply purposes in the Triangle area is:

$V = \left(900\,\frac{ft^{2}}{s}-300\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s} \right)\cdot \left(31,536,000\,\frac{s}{yr} \right) +\left(32\,\frac{in}{yr}-55\,\frac{in}{yr} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{12}\,\frac{ft}{in}\right)\cdot (47000\,acres)\cdot \left(43560\,\frac{ft^{2}}{acre} \right)$ $V = 1.464\times 10^{10}\,\frac{ft^{3}}{yr}$

The lake can withdraw a maximum of $1.464\times 10^{10}$ cubic feet per year to provide water supply for the Triangle area.

Write what you already know about college majors. What are they? Can you think of any examples? When do you have to pick one? Ca

Mandarinka [93]

College majors are specific fields of study that help people prepare for career paths and learn content related to that subject. Some college majors would criminal justices, forensic science, gender studies, engineering, chemistry, and more. You should generally begin to research in your junior year of high school and select one by the beginning or your senior year for college applications. Once you get to college you can change your major.

Carbon dating for archeological materials is based on the fact that a plant, after its death, stops absorbing radioactive C-14 a

Olin [163]

Answer:

t = 2212 years

Explanation:

In radioactive decay processes it is described by the equation

N = N₀ $e^{-\lambda t}$

to calculate the activity

$T_{1/2}$ = log 2 /λ

λ = log 2 / T_{1/2}

λ = log 2 /5715

λ = 5.267 10⁻⁵

now the amount of carbon 14 is N₀ = 0.1%, the sample contains an amount of N = 0.089%

N / N₀ = e^{-\lambda t}

-λ t = ln N / N₀

t = - 1 /λ ln N /N₀

t = 1 / 5.267 10⁻⁵ ln (0.089 / 0.1)

t = 2,212 10³ years

t = 2212 years
