A composite wall is composed of 20 cm of concrete block with k = 0.5 W/m-K and 5 cm of foam insulation with k = 0.03 W/m-K. The

temperature of on the foam side is 25oC while the temperature on the block side is 0oC. What is the temperature at the interface between the block and the foam?

Answer:

4.8°C

Explanation:

The rate of heat transfer through the wall is given by:

q=\frac{Ak}{L}dT

\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k}{L}dT

Assumptions:

1) the system is at equilibrium

2) the heat transfer from foam side to interface and interface to block side is equal. There is no heat retention at any point

3) the external surface of the wall (concrete block side) is large enough that all heat is dissipated and there is no increase in temperature of the air on that side

{k_{fi}= 0.03 W/m.K

{L_{fi}= 5 cm = 0.05 m

{T_{fi}= 25 \°C

{k_{cb} = 0.5 W/m.K

{L_{cb}= 20 cm = 0.20 m

{T_{cb}= 0 \°C

{T_{m}= ? \°C = temperature at the interface

Solving for {T_{m} will give the temperature at the interface:

\frac{q}{A}=\frac{k_{fi} }{L_{fi} }(T_{fi} -T_{m})=\frac{k_{cb} }{L_{cb} }(T_{m} -T_{cb})

\frac{0.03}{0.05 }(25 -T_{m})=\frac{0.5}{0.2}(T_{m} -0})

15 -0.6T_{m}=2.5T_{m}

3.1T_{m}=15

T_{m}=4.8

BE-40 What is a characteristic of a catamaran hull?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

<em>A stable ride</em>

Explanation:

A Catamaran hull is a form of sea craft invented by the Austronesian peoples, the invention of the Catamaran hull enabled these people to sail across the sea in their expansion to the islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Catamaran has multiple hulls, usually two parallel hulls of equal size. This geometric feature gives the craft an increased stability because,<em> it derives extra stability from its wide beam, in the place of a ballasted keel employed in a regular monohull sailboat. </em>A Catamaran hull will require four times the force needed to capsize it, when compared to an equivalent monohull.

Technician A says that forma hardened steel may have different strenght áreas. Technician B says that aluminum collapses in a pr
stich3 [128]

Technician B is correct because the way aluminum collapses can be predicted.

Hardened steel and aluminum are two metals used for different purposes including:

  • Construction.
  • Appliances.
  • Small utensils.
  • Airplanes.
  • Vehicles.

These two materials have slightly different features in terms of resistance, flexibility, etc.

In the case of hardened steel, this is considered to be malleable but strong. This means it is possible to change its shape under some conditions but it can resist great forces and pressure. Moreover, if the hardening process is carried out properly all the areas should be equally strong.

On the other hand, aluminum is recognized due to its durability and for being lighter than other materials. Despite this, aluminum is more flexible than steel and collapses under weaker forces. This has been widely studied because aluminum collapse shows a predictable pattern.

Based on this, only technician B is correct.
