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

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class FindMatchValue {

  public static void main (String [] args) {

     Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

     final int NUM_VALS = 4;

     int[] userValues = new int[NUM_VALS];

     int i;

     int matchValue;

     int numMatches = -99; // Assign numMatches with 0 before your for loop

     matchValue = scnr.nextInt();

     for (i = 0; i < userValues.length; ++i) {

        userValues[i] = scnr.nextInt();

     }

     /* Your solution goes here */

         numMatches = 0;

     for (i = 0; i < userValues.length; ++i) {

        if(userValues[i] == matchValue) {

                       numMatches++;

                }

     }

     System.out.println("matchValue: " + matchValue + ", numMatches: " + numMatches);

2) The switch in the circuit below has been closed a long time. At t=0, it is opened.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

  il(t) = e^(-100t)

Explanation:

The current from the source when the switch is closed is the current through an equivalent load of 15 + 50║50 = 15+25 = 40 ohms. That is, it is 80/40 = 2 amperes. That current is split evenly between the two parallel 50-ohm resistors, so the initial inductor current is 2/2 = 1 ampere.

The time constant is L/R = 0.20/20 = 0.01 seconds. Then the decaying current is described by ...

  il(t) = e^(-t/.01)

  il(t) = e^(-100t) . . . amperes
