Answer:

Perpendicular to the surface

Explanation:

- Electric field lines represent the direction of the electric field. The electric field lines also correspond to the direction along which the gradient of the electric potential is maximum.

- Equipotentials are lines or surfaces along which the electric potential is constant: the electric potential does not change moving along an equipotential surface.

Given the two definitions, equipotential lines are always perpendicular to the electric field lines. Therefore, in this problem, the direction of the electric field is perpendicular to the spherical equipotential surface.

Interactive Solution 8.29 offers a model for this problem. The drive propeller of a ship starts from rest and accelerates at 2.3

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Δθ = 15747.37 rad.

Explanation:

The total angular displacement is the sum of three partial displacements: one while accelerating from rest to a certain angular speed, a second one rotating at this same angular speed, and a third one while decelerating to a final angular speed.
Applying the definition of angular acceleration, we can find the final angular speed for this first part as follows:

$\omega_{f1} = \alpha * \Delta t = 2.38*e-3rad/s2*2.04e3s = 4.9 rad/sec (1)$

Since the angular acceleration is constant, and the propeller starts from rest, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the first angular displacement θ₁:

$\omega_{f1}^{2} = 2* \alpha *\Delta\theta (2)$

Solving for Δθ in (2):

$\theta_{1} = \frac{\omega_{f1}^{2}}{2*\alpha } = \frac{(4.9rad/sec)^{2}}{2*2.38*e-3rad/sec2} = 5044.12 rad (3)$

The second displacement θ₂, (since along it the propeller rotates at a constant angular speed equal to (1), can be found just applying the definition of average angular velocity, as follows:

$\theta_{2} =\omega_{f1} * \Delta_{t2} = 4.9 rad/s * 1.48*e3 s = 7252 rad (4)$

Finally we can find the third displacement θ₃, applying the same kinematic equation as in (2), taking into account that the angular initial speed is not zero anymore:

$\omega_{f2}^{2} - \omega_{o2}^{2} = 2* \alpha *\Delta\theta (5)$

Replacing by the givens (α, ωf₂) and ω₀₂ from (1) we can solve for Δθ as follows:

$\theta_{3} = \frac{(\omega_{f2})^{2}- (\omega_{f1}) ^{2} }{2*\alpha } = \frac{(2.42rad/s^{2}) -(4.9rad/sec)^{2}}{2*(-2.63*e-3rad/sec2)} = 3451.25 rad (6)$

The total angular displacement is just the sum of (3), (4) and (6):
Δθ = θ₁ + θ₂ + θ₃ = 5044.12 rad + 7252 rad + 3451.25 rad
⇒ Δθ = 15747.37 rad.

An electric air heater consists of a horizontal array of thin metal strips that are each 10 mm long in the direction of an airst

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

Given that,

$T_1 =$ 500°C

$T_2$ = 25°C

d = 0.2m

L = 10mm = 0.01m

U₀ = 2m/s

Calculate average temperature

$\\T_{avg} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} \\\\T_{avg} = \frac{500 + 25}{2} \\\\T_{avg} = 262.5$

262.5 + 273

= 535.5K

From properties of air table A-4 corresponding to $T_{avg}$ = 535.5K $\approx 550K$

k = 43.9 × 10⁻³W/m.k

v = 47.57 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

$P_r = 0.63$

Number for the first strips is equal to

$R_e_x = \frac{u_o.L}{v}$

$R_e_x = \frac{2\times 0.01}{47.57 \times 10^-^6 }\\\\= 420.4$

Calculating heat transfer coefficient from the first strip

$h_1 = \frac{k}{L} \times 0.664 \times R_e_x^1^/^2 \times P_r^1^/^3$

$h_1 = \frac{43.9 \times 10^-^3}{0.01} \times 0.664\times420 \times 4^1^/^2 \times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 52.6W/km^2$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the first strip is

$q_1 = h_1\times(L\times d)\times(T_1 - T_2)\\\\q_1 = 52.6 \times (0.01\times0.2)\times(500-25)\\\\q_1 = 50W$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the fifth trip is equal to

$q_5 = (5 \times h_o_-_5-4\times h_o_-_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

$h_o_-_5 = \frac{k}{5L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 5L}{v} )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.05} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.05}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 25.5W/Km^2$

Calculating $h_o_-_4$

$h_o_-_4 = \frac{k}{4L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 4L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.04} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.04}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 26.3W/Km^2$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip is

$q_1_0 = (10 \times h_o_-_1_0-9\times h_o_-_9) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

$h_o_-_1_0 = \frac{k}{10L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 10L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.1} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.1}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 16.6W/Km^2$

Calculating

$h_o_-_9 = \frac{k}{9L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 9L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.09} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.09}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 17.5W/Km^2$

Calculating the rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip

$q_1_0 = (10 \times h_o_-_1_0-9\times h_o_-_9) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)\\\\q_1_0 = (10 \times 16.6 -9\times 17.5) \times(0.01\times 0.2)\times (500 -25)\\\\=8.1W$

The rate of convection heat transfer from 25th strip is equal to

$q_2_5 = (25 \times h_o_-_2_5-24\times h_o_-_2_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

Calculating $h_o_-_2_5$

$h_o_-_2_5 = \frac{k}{25L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 25L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.25} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.25}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 10.5W/Km^2$

Calculating $h_o_-_2_4$

$h_o_-_2_4 = \frac{k}{24L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 24L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.24} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.24}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 10.7W/Km^2$

Calculating the rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip

$q_2_5 = (25 \times h_o_-_2_5-24\times h_o_-_2_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)\\\\q_1_0 = (25 \times 10.5 -24\times 10.7) \times(0.01\times 0.2)\times (500 -25)\\\\=5.4W$
