A square silicon chip (k = 152 W/m·K) is of width 7 mm on a side and of thickness 3 mm. The chip is mounted in a substrate such

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The steady-state temperature difference is 2.42 K

Explanation:

Rate of heat transfer = kA∆T/t

Rate of heat transfer = 6 W

k is the heat transfer coefficient = 152 W/m.K

A is the area of the square silicon = width^2 = (7/1000)^2 = 4.9×10^-5 m^2

t is the thickness of the silicon = 3 mm = 3/1000 = 0.003 m

6 = 152×4.9×10^-5×∆T/0.003

∆T = 6×0.003/152×4.9×10^-5 = 2.42 K

An inventor claims to have devised a cyclical power engine that operates with a fuel whose temperature is 750 °C and radiates wa

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given Data

Temprature of source=750°c=1023k

Temprature of sink =0°c=273k

Work produced=3.3KW

Heat Rejected=4.4KW

Efficiency of heat engine(η)= $\frac{Work produced}{Heat supplied}$

and

Heat Supplied ${\left (Q_s\right)}=Work Produced(W)+Heat rejected\left ( Q_r \right )$

${Q_s}=3.3+4.4=7.7KW$

η= $\frac{3.3}{7.7}$

η=42.85%

Also the maximum efficiency of a heat engine operating between two different Tempratures i.e. Source & Sink

η=1- $\frac{T_ {sink}}{T_ {source}}$

η=1- $\frac{273}{1023}$

η=73.31%

Therefore our Engine Efficiency is less than the maximum efficiency hence the given claim is valid.
