The heat flux through a 1-mm thick layer of skin is 1.05 x 104 W/m2. The temperature at the inside surface is 37°C and the tempe

rature at the outside surface is 30°C.a. What is the thermal conductivity of the skin?b. A layer of clothing material with half the thermal conductivity of skin and twice the thickness of skin is placed on the outside surface of the skin. If the outside surface of the clothing is maintained at 30°C, what is the new heat flux from the skin and what is the temperature at the skin-insulation interface?

Answer:

a) Thermal conductivity of skin: k_{skin}=1.5W/mK

b) Temperature of interface: T_{interface}=35.6\°C

Heat flux through skin: \frac{Q}{A}=2100W/m^2

Explanation:

a)

k=\frac{QL}{A(T_{2}-T_{1})}

Where: k is thermal conductivity of a material, \frac{Q}{A} is heat flux through a material, L is the thickness of the material, T_{1} is the temperature on the first side and T_{2} is the temperature on the second side

k_{skin}=\frac{QL}{A(T_{2}-T_{1})}

k_{skin}=\frac{Q}{A}*\frac{L}{(T_{2}-T_{1})}

k_{skin}=1.05*10^{4}*\frac{1*10^{-3}}{(37-30)}

k_{skin}=1.5W/mK

b)

k_{insulation}=\frac{k_{skin}}{2}

k_{insulation}=\frac{1.5}{2}

k_{insulation}=0.75W/mK

The heat flux between both surfaces is constant, assuming the temperature is maintained at each surface.

\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{k(T_{2}-T_{1})}{L}

\frac{k_{skin}(T_{skin}-T_{interface})}{L_{skin}}=\frac{k_{insulation}(T_{interface}-T_{insulation})}{L_{insulation}}

\frac{1.5*(37-T_{interface})}{0.001}=\frac{0.75*(T_{interface}-30)}{0.002}

55500-1500T_{interface}=375T_{interface}-11250

1875T_{interface}=66750

T_{interface}=35.6\°C

\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{k_{skin}(T_{skin}-T_{interface})}{L_{skin}}

\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.5*(37-35.6)}{0.001}

\frac{Q}{A}=2100W/m^2

A 5-mm-thick stainless steel strip (k = 21 W/m•K, rho = 8000 kg/m3, and cp = 570 J/kg•K) is being heat treated as it moves throu
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace is 819.15 °C

Explanation:

The characteristic length of the strip is given by;

L_c = \frac{V}{A} = \frac{LA}{2A} = \frac{5*10^{-3}}{2} = 0.0025 \ m

The Biot number is given as;

B_i = \frac{h L_c}{k}\\\\B_i = \frac{80*0.0025}{21} \\\\B_i = 0.00952

B_i < 0.1,  thus apply lumped system approximation to determine the constant time for the process;

\tau = \frac{\rho C_p V}{hA_s} = \frac{\rho C_p L_c}{h}\\\\\tau = \frac{8000* 570* 0.0025}{80}\\\\\tau = 142.5 s

The time for the heating process is given as;

t = \frac{d}{V} \\\\t = \frac{3 \ m}{0.01 \ m/s} = 300 s

Apply the lumped system approximation relation to determine the temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace;

T(t) = T_{ \infty} + (T_i -T_{\infty})e^{-t/ \tau}\\\\T(t) = 930 + (20 -930)e^{-300/ 142.5}\\\\T(t) = 930 + (-110.85)\\\\T_{(t)} = 819.15 \ ^0 C

Therefore, the temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace is 819.15 °C

Many farms and ranches use electric fences to keep animals from getting into or out of specific pastures. When switched on, an e
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

The best material to use when creating an electric fence would be Aluminum. Aluminum wiring is incredibly durable and can be easily obtained. Since aluminum is a non-magnetic metal its conducting capabilities far exceed other metallic options in the market and is also why companies choose aluminum for their high tension cable wiring. Aside from being more expensive than other feasible options its durability and conducting capabilities make it easily the best option.

Define factors that can change the performance of a polymer, such are additives
inna [77]

Answer:

 The performance of the polymer is basically change by the various type of factors like shape, tensile strength and color.

The polymer based products are basically influenced by the environmental factors like light, acids or alkalis chemicals, salts and also heat.

The additives is one of the type of chemical polymer which basically include polymer matrix for improving the ability of processing of the polymer. It also helps to enhance the production and requirement of the polymer products in the environment.
