A driver is traveling at 52 mi/h on a wet road. an object is spotted on the road 415 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to

a stop just before hitting the object. assuming standard perception/ reaction time and practical stopping distance, determine the grade of the road.

Answer:

G = 0.424

Explanation:

Ds = ( 0.278tr * V ) + (0.278 * V²)/ ( 19.6* ( f ± G))

Where Ds = stopping sight distance = 415miles = 126.5m

G = absolute grade road

V = velocity of vehicle = 52miles/hr

f = friction = 0 because the road is wet

tr = standard perception / reaction time = 2.5s

So therefore:

Substituting to get G

We have

2479.4G = 705.6G + 751.72

1773.8G = 751.72

G = 751.72/1773.8

G = 0.424

Contact [7]

Answer:

T = 167 ° C

Explanation:

To solve the question we have the following known variables

Type of surface = plane wall ,

Thermal conductivity k = 25.0 W/m·K,

Thickness L = 0.1 m,

Heat generation rate q' = 0.300 MW/m³,

Heat transfer coefficient hc = 400 W/m² ·K,

Ambient temperature T∞ = 32.0 °C

We are to determine the maximum temperature in the wall

Assumptions for the calculation are as follows

Negligible heat loss through the insulation
Steady state system
One dimensional conduction across the wall

Therefore by the one dimensional conduction equation we have

$k\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } +q'_{G} = \rho c\frac{dT}{dt}$

During steady state

$\frac{dT}{dt}$ = 0 which gives $k\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } +q'_{G} = 0$

From which we have $\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } = -\frac{q'_{G}}{k}$

Considering the boundary condition at x =0 where there is no heat loss

$\frac{dT}{dt}$ = 0 also at the other end of the plane wall we have

$-k\frac{dT }{dx } =$ hc (T - T∞) at point x = L

Integrating the equation we have

$\frac{dT }{dx } = \frac{q'_{G}}{k} x+ C_{1}$ from which C₁ is evaluated from the first boundary condition thus

0 = $\frac{q'_{G}}{k} (0)+ C_{1}$ from which C₁ = 0

From the second integration we have

$T = -\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} x^{2} + C_{2}$

From which we can solve for C₂ by substituting the T and the first derivative into the second boundary condition s follows

$-k\frac{q'_{G}L}{k} = h_{c}( -\frac{q'_{G}L^{2} }{k} + C_{2}-T∞)$ → C₂ = $q'_{G}L(\frac{1}{h_{c} }+ \frac{L}{2k} } )+T∞$

T(x) = $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} x^{2} + q'_{G}L(\frac{1}{h_{c} }+ \frac{L}{2k} } )+T∞$ and T(x) = T∞ + $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} (L^{2}+(\frac{2kL}{h_{c} }} )-x^{2} )$

∴ Tmax → when x = 0 = T∞ + $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} (L^{2}+(\frac{2kL}{h_{c} }} ))$

Substituting the values we get

T = 167 ° C

For a cylindrical annulus whose inner and outer surfaces are maintained at 30 ºC and 40 ºC, respectively, a heat flux sensor mea

miskamm [114]

Answer:

$k=0.12\ln(r_2/r_1)$ $\frac {W}{ m^{\circ} C}$

where $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the inner radius, outer radius of the annalus.

Explanation:

Let $r_1$ , $r_2$ and $L$ be the inner radius, outer radius and length of the given annulus.

Temperatures at the inner surface, $T_1=30^{\circ}C\\$ and at the outer surface, $T_2=40^{\circ}C$ .

Let q be the rate of heat transfer at the steady-state.

Given that, the heat flux at r=3cm=0.03m is

$40 W/m^2$ .

$\Rightarrow \frac{q}{(2\pi\times0.03\times L)}=40$

$\Rightarrow q=2.4\pi L \;W$

This heat transfer is same for any radial position in the annalus.

Here, heat transfer is taking placfenly in radial direction, so this is case of one dimentional conduction, hence Fourier's law of conduction is applicable.

Now, according to Fourier's law:

$q=-kA\frac{dT}{dr}\;\cdots(i)$

where,

K=Thermal conductivity of the material.

T= temperature at any radial distance r.

A=Area through which heat transfer is taking place.

Here, $A=2\pi rL\;\cdots(ii)$

Variation of temperature w.r.t the radius of the annalus is

$\frac {T-T_1}{T_2-T_1}=\frac{\ln(r/r_1)}{\ln(r_2/r_1)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dT}{dr}=\frac{T_2-T_1}{\ln(r_2/r_1)}\times \frac{1}{r}\;\cdots(iii)$

Putting the values from the equations (ii) and (iii) in the equation (i), we have

$q=\frac{2\pi kL(T_1-T_2)}{\LN(R_2/2_1)}$

$\Rightarrow k= \frac{q\ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi L(T_2-T_1)}$

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{(2.4\pi L)\ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi L(10)}$ [as $q=2.4\pi L$ , and $T_2-T_1=10 ^{\circ}C$ ]

$\Rightarrow k=0.12\ln(r_2/r_1)$ $\frac {W}{ m^{\circ} C}$

This is the required expression of k. By putting the value of inner and outer radii, the thermal conductivity of the material can be determined.
