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:

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

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

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

$3.1T_{m}=15$

$T_{m}=4.8$

A piston-cylinder apparatus has a piston of mass 2kg and diameterof

iragen [17]

Answer:

M =2.33 kg

Explanation:

given data:

mass of piston - 2kg

diameter of piston is 10 cm

height of water 30 cm

atmospheric pressure 101 kPa

water temperature = 50°C

Density of water at 50 degree celcius is 988kg/m^3

volume of cylinder is $V = A \times h$

$= \pi r^2 \times h$

$= \pi 0.05^2\times 0.3$

mass of available in the given container is

$M = V\times d$

$= volume \times density$

$= \pi 0.05^2\times 0.3 \times 988$

M =2.33 kg

Explain the conductivity results observed for ionic compounds in the solid state and in aqueous solution.i.Solid ionic compounds

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Aqueous solution of ionic compounds conduct electricity while solid ionic compounds don't.

Explanation:

Ionic compound conduct electricity when liquid or in aqueous solution that is resolved in water because the ionic bonds of the compound become weak and the ions are free to move from place to place.

Ionic compounds don't conduct electricity while in solid state because the ionic bonds are to strong and ions cannot move around with lack of space for movement which makes the electric conductivity zero.
