A long homogeneous resistance wire of radius ro = 5 mm is being used to heat the air in a room by the passage of electric curren
t. Heat is generated in the wire uniformly at a rate of g=5'107 W/m as a result of resistance heating. If the temperature of the outer surface of the wire remains at 180°C, determine the temperature at r = 2 mm after steady operation conditions are reached. Take the thermal conductivity of the wire to be k = 8 W/m x °C.
By inhibiting the motion of dislocations by impurities in a solid solutions, is a strengthening mechanism. In solid solutions it is atomic level strengthening resulting from resistance to dislocation motion. Hence, the strength of the alloys can differ with respect to the precipitate's property. Example, the precipitate is stronger (ability to an obstacle to the dislocation motion) than the matrix and it shows an improvement of strength.
(a) Calculate the rod base temperature (°C). = 299.86°C
(b) Determine the rod length (mm) for the case where the ratio of the heat transfer from a finite length fin to the heat transfer from a very long fin under the same conditions is 99 percent. = 0.4325m
One of the differences is that civil engineering focuses on design elements while structural engineering is more concern on inspecting the materials used for construction. The structural engineers are the one who are supposed to ensure that the materials used for construction can support the design of the structure.
