A cubical picnic chest of length 0.5 m, constructed of sheet styrofoam of thickness 0.025 m, contains ice at 0\[Degree]C. The th

ermal conductivity of the styrofoam is 0.035 W/(m K) and the ambient temperature is 25 \[Degree]C. If the resistances to convective heat flow are negligible, calculate the rate at which the ice in the chest melts in units of kg/hour. The latent heat of melting of ice is 3.34 10^5 J/kg.

Answer:

Rate of heat transfer is 0.56592 kg/hour

Explanation:

Q = kA(T2 - T1)/t

Q is rate of heat transfer in Watts or Joules per second

k is thermal conductivity of the styrofoam = 0.035 W/(mK)

A is area of the cubical picnic chest = 6L^2 = 6(0.5)^2 = 6×0.25 = 1.5 m^2

T1 is initial temperature of ice = 0 °C = 0+273 = 273 K

T2 is temperature of the styrofoam = 25 °C = 25+273 = 298 K

t is thickness of styrofoam = 0.025 m

Q = 0.035×1.5(298-273)/0.025 = 1.3125/0.025 = 52.5 W = 52.5 J/s

Mass flow rate = rate of heat transfer ÷ latent heat of melting of ice = 52.5 J/s ÷ 3.34×10^ 5 J/kg = 1.572×10^-4 kg/s = 1.572×10^-4 kg/s × 3600 s/1 hr = 0.56592 kg/hr

A train starts from rest at station A and accelerates at 0.6 m/s^2 for 60 s. Afterwards it travels with a constant velocity for
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The distance between the station A and B will be:

x_{A-B}=55.620\: km  

Explanation:

Let's find the distance that the train traveled during 60 seconds.

x_{1}=x_{0}+v_{0}t+0.5at^{2}

We know that starts from rest (v(0)=0) and the acceleration is 0.6 m/s², so the distance will be:

x_{1}=\frac{1}{2}(0.6)(60)^{2}

x_{1}=1080\: m

Now, we need to find the distance after 25 min at a constant speed. To get it, we need to find the speed at the end of the first distance.

v_{1}=v_{0}+at

v_{1}=(0.6)(60)=36\: m/s

Then the second distance will be:

x_{2}=v_{1}*1500

x_{2}=(36)(1500)=54000\: m        

The final distance is calculated whit the decelerate value:

v_{f}^{2}=v_{1}^{2}-2ax_{3}

The final velocity is zero because it rests at station B. The initial velocity will be v(1).

0=36^{2}-2(1.2)x_{3}

x_{3}=\frac{36^{2}}{2(1.2)}  

x_{3}=540\: m

Therefore, the distance between the station A and B will be:

x_{A-B}=x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}  

x_{A-B}=1080+54000+540=55.620\: km  

I hope it helps you!

3241004551 [841]

A model of living systems as whole entities which maintain themselves through continuous input and output from the environment, developed by ludwig von bertalanffy is known as Systems theory.

<h3>what are the application of systems theory?</h3>

It is a theoretical framework to understand the working mechanism of an organization.

It is an entity where all the elements necessary to carry out its functions.

A computer is the best  example of showing the mechanism of system theory.

computer is a system which has many smaller sub-systems that have to work in coordinated manner.

These sub-systems are the processor, RAM, motherboard, hard drive and power supply.

Line of Action of the Axial Forces for a Uniform Stress Distribution
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Line of action of axial force for a uniform stress distribution should pass through the centroid of the cross sectional area.

Explanation:

If the line of action of the force is along the centroidal axis of the cross sectional area there is no eccentricity in the line of application of force hence no moment is generated in the cross sectional area hence we get a uniform stress distribution as theorized by hookes law.

In case of eccentric force there is an additional moment in addition of the force. This induced moment induces bending in the section thus giving a non uniform stress distribution in the section.

Under which of the following conditions would material flood damage be considered an extraordinary item for financial reporting
dedylja [7]

Answer: A.Only if floods in the geographical area are unusual in nature and occur infrequently.

Explanation: Extraordinary items are special losses or gains that don't occur regularly and are unusual on nature. Since the materials damaged as a result of floods in the area are unusual and infrequently occurs they are to be considered as extraordinary items for financial statements purposes.

Business entities usually prepare the financial statements for Extraordinary items separately as they only occur on a one time basis.
