a cubical box 20-cm on a side is contructed from 1.2 cm thick concrete panels. A 100-W light bulb is sealed inside the box. What

is the temperature on teh inside ofthe box when the light is on and the outside temperature is 20C

Answer:

Temperature on the inside ofthe box

Explanation:

The power of the light bulb is the rate of heat conduction of the bulb, $dq/dt = 100 W$

The thickness of the wall, L = 1.2 cm = 0.012m

Length of the cube's side, x = 20cm = 0.2 m

The area of the cubical box, A = 6x²

A = 6 * 0.2² = 6 * 0.04

A = 0.24 m²

Temperature of the surrounding, $T_0 = 20^0 C = 273 + 20 = 293 K$

Temperature of the inside of the box, $T_{in} = ?$

Coefficient of thermal conductivity, k = 0.8 W/m-K

The formula for the rate of heat conduction is given by:

$dq/dt = \frac{kA(T_{in} - T_0)}{L} \\\\100 = \frac{0.8*0.24(T_{in} - 293)}{0.012}\\\\T_{in} - 293 = \frac{100 * 0.012}{0.8*0.24} \\\\T_{in} - 293 = 6.25\\\\T_{in} = 293 + 6.25\\\\T_{in} = 299.25 K\\\\T_{in} = 299.25 - 273\\\\T_{in} = 26.25^0 C$

An air conditioning system operating on reversed carnot cycle is required to remove heat from the house at a rate of 32kj/s to m

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(e) 1.64 kW

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance of the Reverse Carnot's Cycle is:

$COP = \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP = \frac{293.15\,K}{308.15\,K-293.15\,K}$

$COP = 19.543$

Lastly, the power required to operate the air conditioning system is:

$\dot W = \frac{\dot Q_{L}}{COP}$

$\dot W = \frac{32\,kW}{19.543}$

$\dot W = 1.637\,kW$

Hence, the answer is E.

A concrete mix design calls for 6.5 sacks of cement, a water/cement ratio of 0.45, and an air content of 2.5%. 1. Complete the m

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

28.6 kg

Explanation:

The final weight can be calculated from the mixing data and formulae which is given as follows:

cement content = $\frac{water content}{water - cement ratio}$

Computing the parameters and checking the tables gives 28.6 kg.

List two things that technological systems have in common.

Sphinxa [80]

They all share the way that they are fundamentally designed: if they are quite complex, they will share the same basic logic foundations, like the way that the programming languages work. They also all share the method of construction and common and fundamental electronic components, like resistors, capacitors and transistors. As we humans design them, they make logical sense to at least someone, and probably only discounting the internet, you can probably draw logic diagrams and whatever to represent how they work.

Because they are designed by Humans, in a way they all mimic how our brains and society work. Also, as yet there are no truly intelligent technological systems, and are only able to react to a situation how they have been programmed to do so.

A smooth sphere with a diameter of 6 inches and a density of 493 lbm/ft^3 falls at terminal speed through sea water (S.G.=1.0027

Pachacha [2.7K]

Given:

diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches

radius of sphere, r = $\frac{d}{2}$ = 3 inches

density, $\rho}$ = 493 lbm/ $ft^{3}$

S.G = 1.0027

g = 9.8 m/ $m^{2}$ = 386.22 inch/ $s^{2}$

Solution:

Using the formula for terminal velocity,

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2V\rho g}{A \rho C_{d}}}$ (1)

$(Since, m = V\times \rho)$

where,

V = volume of sphere

$C_{d}$ = drag coefficient

Now,

Surface area of sphere, A = $4\pi r^{2}$

Volume of sphere, V = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Using the above formulae in eqn (1):

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2\times \frac{4}{3} \pir^{3}\rho g}{4\pi r^{2} \rho C_{d}}}$

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2gr}{3C_{d}}}$

$v_{T}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2\times 386.22\times 3}{3C_{d}}}$

Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:

$v_{T}$ = $\frac{27.79}{\sqrt{C_d}}$ inch/sec
