Thermal energy storage systems commonly involve a packed bed of solid spheres, through which a hot gas flows if the system is be

ing charged, or a cold gas if it is being discharged. In a charging process, heat transfer from the hot gas increases thermal energy stored within the colder spheres; during discharge, the stored energy decreases as heat is transferred from the warmer spheres to the cooler gas.

Answer:

as the exercise is incomplete, I add the information that is missing:

Consider a packed bed of 75-mm-diameter aluminum spheres ? = 2700 kg/m3, and c = 950 J/kg

Answer: The copper can store 34.1% more thermal energy at 272.42ºC

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter packed bed = 75 mm

Density = 2700 kg/m³

specific heat = 950 J/kg K

initial temperature sphere = 25ºC

thermal conductivity = 240 W/m K

temperature of gas = 300ºC

convection coefficient = 75 W/m²K

The characteristic length is

L_{c} =\frac{r}{3} =\frac{0.0375}{3} =0.0125m

The Biot number is equal to

Bi=\frac{hL_{c} }{k} =\frac{75*0.0125}{240} =3.9x10^{-6}

Bi < 1, we will use the lumped capacitance method

The energy transfer is equal to:

\frac{Q}{Q_{max} } =(1-exp(\frac{t}{t_{t} } )) (eq. 1)

t_{t} =\frac{pV}{hA} =\frac{p\frac{\pi D^{3} }{6} c}{h\pi D^{2} } =\frac{pDc}{6h} \\t_{t}=\frac{2700*0.075*950}{6*75} =427.5s

Replacing in eq. 1

0.9=1-exp(\frac{-t}{t_{t} } )\\0.1=exp(\frac{-t}{t_{t} } )\\\frac{-t}{t_{t} } =ln(0.1)\\t=2.3t_{t}=2.3*427.5=983.25s

The temperature at the center of sphere is

T=T\alpha +(T_{i} -T\alpha )exp(\frac{-6ht}{pDc} )=300+(25-300)exp(\frac{-6*75*983.25}{2700*0.075*950} )=272.42C

We obtain the percentage increase

Cpcu = 385 J/kg K

(pCp)cu = 8933 * 385 = 3439205 J/m³K

from water:

(pCp)wa = 2700 * 950 = 2565000 J/m³K

the percentage increase is

%P = (3439205 - 2565000)/2565000 = 34.1%

The copper can store 34.1% more thermal energy.

Question #8
iris [78.8K]

Problem solving is the act of orderly searching for solutions to problem

The correct option that involves approaching a problem in a new way is the option;

Creative thinking

The reasons why creative thinking is the correct option is given as follows;

Finding new ways to approach a problem, involves considering alternatives to already known approaches to the problem

Given that the options to be considered are to be options which have not been applied, then the process does not involve;

Context: Which looks at the variables that relate the problem with setting or circumstance that aid understanding of the problem

Critical thinking; Which is based on the analysis of the known facts, but the new proposals are required

Perseverance; Which involves adherence to a particular option despite delay or difficulty

However;

Creative thinking; Creative thinking involves the consideration of a situation thing or problem in a new way or by approaching a task differently than what was considered a regular approach, which involves finding an unused or imaginative approach to a problem

Therefore;

The option that involves finding new ways to approach a problem is <u>creative thinking</u>

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

both are incorect

Explanation:

2 stroke principal is a mix of gasoline and engine oil a normal gasoline engine does not run on 2 stroke fuel

technician B is also wrong Diesel engines generally generate much higher compersion than gasoline engines
