The ice on the rear window of an automobile is defrosted by attaching a thin, transparent, film type heating element to its inne

r surface. By electrically heating this element, a uniform heat flux may be established at the inner surface. The inside air temperature and convection heat transfer coefficient are T,i = 25°C and hi = 25 W/(m2 -K), while the outside air temperature is T,o = -10°C. For 4-mm thick window glass, determine (a) the electric power required per unit window area to maintain an inner surface temperature of 15°C and (b) the thermal conductivity of the windshield.

Answer:

A)Q = 1208.33 W/m²

B)K = 0.138 W/m.K

Explanation:

We are given;

inside air temperature;T_∞,i =25 °C = 25 + 273 = 298K

outside air temperature;T_∞,o = -10°C = - 10 + 273 = 263K

Inner surface temperature;T_s,i = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288K

Thickness, L = 4mm = 0.004m

convection heat transfer coefficient ; hi = 25 W/(m².K)

A) From an energy balance at the inner surface and the thermal circuit, the electric power required per unit window area is given as;

Q = [(T_s,i - T_∞,o)/((L/k) + (1/hi))] - [(T_∞,o - T_s,i)/(1/hi)]

Plugging in the relevant values with k for glass as 1.4 W/m.k, we have;

Q = [(288 - 263)/((0.004/1.4) + (1/25))] - [(263 - 288)/(1/25)]

Q = 583.33 + 625

Q = 1208.33 W/m²

B) The formula for thermal conductivity is;

K = (QL)/(AΔT)

Where;

K is the thermal conductivity in W/m.K

Q is the amount of heat transferred through the material

L is the distance between the two isothermal planes

A is the area of the surface in square meters

ΔT is the difference in temperature in Kelvin

ΔT = 298K - 263K = 35K

Now, since we have value of heat per unit area to be Q = 1208.33 W/m², let's rearrange the equation to reflect that; Thus ;

k = (Q/A) x (L/ΔT)

K = 1208.33 x (0.004/35)

K = 0.138 W/m.K

Technician A says that a magnetic field can be created by current flow. Technician B says that current can be induced by moving
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

Magnetic fields are created by current flow (Biot-Savart Law) and current is induced by moving a wire through a magnetic field (Faraday’s Law).

A Geostationary satellite has an 8kW RF transmission pointed at the earth. How much force does that induce on the spacecraft? (N
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The force induced on the aircraft is 2.60 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Power transmitted, P_{t} = 8 kW = 8000 W

Now, the force, F is given by:

P_{t} = Force(F)\times velocity(v) = Fv               (1)

where

v = velocity

Now,

For a geo-stationary satellite, the centripetal force, F_{c} is provided by the gravitational force, F_{G}:

F_{c} = F_{G}

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = \frac{GM_{e}m{R^{2}}

Thus from the above, velocity comes out to be:

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{R}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.979\times 10^{24}}{42166\times 10^{3}}} = 3075.36 m/ s

where

R = R_{e} + H

R = \sqrt{GM_{e}(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}}

where

G = Gravitational constant

T = Time period of rotation of Earth

R is calculated as 42166 km

Now, from eqn (1):

8000 = F\times 3075.36

F = 2.60 N

Which crystal system(s) listed below has (have) the following relationship for the unit cell edge lengths?
lianna [129]

Answer:

Both B and G ( Hexagonal and Tetragonal )

Explanation:

The crystals system listed below has the following relationship for the unit cell edge lengths; a = b ≠ c ( hexagonal and Tetragonal )

hexagonal ; represents  a crystal system  which has three equal axes that have an angle of 60⁰ between them while Tetragonal denotes crystals that have  three axes which have only two of its axes equal in length.
