Answer:

The surface ocean currents have a strong effect on Earth's climate. ... However, these areas do not constantly get warmer and warmer, because the ocean currents and winds transport the heat from the lower latitudes near the equator to higher latitudes near the poles.

A 100 ft long steel wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.0144 in.2. When a force of 270 lb is applied to the wire, its length in

blondinia [14]

Answer:

(a) The stress on the steel wire is 19,000 Psi

(b) The strain on the steel wire is 0.00063

Explanation:

Given;

length of steel wire, L = 100 ft

cross-sectional area, A = 0.0144 in²

applied force, F = 270 lb

extension of the wire, e = 0.75 in

Part (A) The stress on the steel wire;

δ = F/A

= 270 / 0.0144

δ = 18750 lb/in² = 19,000 Psi

Part (B) The strain on the steel wire;

σ = e/ L

L = 100 ft = 1200 in

σ = 0.75 / 1200

σ = 0.00063

Part (C) The modulus of elasticity of the steel

E = δ/σ

= 19,000 / 0.00063

E = 30,000,000 Psi

The pressure of a gas in a rigid container is 125kpa at 300k, what we be the new pressure if the temperature increases to 900k

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

375 KPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 125 KPa

Initial temperature (T₁) = 300 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 900 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The new (i.e final) pressure of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

125 / 300 = P₂ / 900

Cross multiply

300 × P₂ = 125 × 900

300 × P₂ = 112500

Divide both side by 300

P₂ = 112500 / 300

P₂ = 375 KPa

Thus, the new pressure of the gas is 375 KPa

Airflow through a long, 0.15-m-square air conditioning duct maintains the outer duct surface temperature at 10°C. If the horizon

Ulleksa [173]

The complete Question is:

Airflow through a long, 0.15-m-square air conditioning duct maintains the outer duct surface temperature at 10°C. If the horizontal duct is uninsulated and exposed to air at 35°C in the crawlspace beneath a home, what is the heat gain per unit length of the duct? Evaluate the properties of air at 300 K. For the sides of the duct, use the more accurate Churchill and Chu correlations for laminar flow on vertical plates.

What is the Rayleigh number for free convection on the outer sides of the duct?

What is the free convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer sides of the duct, in W/m2·K?

What is the Rayleigh number for free convection on the top of the duct?

What is the free convection heat transfer coefficient on the top of the duct, in W/m2·K?

What is the free convection heat transfer coefficient on the bottom of the duct, in W/m2·K?

What is the total heat gain to the duct per unit length, in W/m?
