One method that is used to grow nanowires (nanotubes with solid cores) is to initially deposit a small droplet of a liquid catal

yst onto a flat surface. The surface and catalyst are heated and simultaneously exposed to a higher-temperature, low-pressure gas that contains a mixture of chemical species from which the nanowire is to be formed. The catalytic liquid slowly absorbs the species from the gas through its top surface and converts these to a solid material that is deposited onto the underlying liquid-solid interface, resulting in construction of the nanowire. The liquid catalyst remains suspended at the tip of the nanowire. Consider the growth of a 15-nm-diameter silicon carbide nanowire onto a silicon carbide sururface. The surface is maintained at a temperature of Ts = 2400 K and the particular liquid catalyst that is used must be maintained in the range 2400 K ≤ Tc ≤ 3000 K to perform its function. Determine the maximum length of a nanowire that may be grown for conditions characterized by h = 105 W/m2.K and T[infinity] = 8000 KT. Assume properties of the nanowire are the same as for bulk silicon carbide.

Answer: maximum length of the nanowire is 510 nm

Explanation:

 

From the table of 'Thermo physical properties of selected nonmetallic solids at At T = 1500 K

Thermal conductivity of silicon carbide k = 30 W/m.K

Diameter of silicon carbide nanowire, D = 15 x 10⁻⁹ m  

lets consider the equation for the value of m

m = ( (hP/kAc)^1/2 )  = ( (4h/kD)^1/2 )  

m =  ( ((4 × 10⁵)/(30×15×10⁻⁹ ))^1/2 ) = 942809.04    

now lets find the value of h/mk    

h/mk = 10⁵ / ( 942809.04 × 30) =  0.00353

lets consider the value θ/θb by using the equation

θ/θb = (T - T∞) / (T - T∞)

θ/θb =  (3000 - 8000) / (2400 - 8000)

= 0.893

the temperature distribution at steady-state is expressed as;

θ/θb = [ cosh m(L - x) + ( h/mk) sinh m (L - x)]   / [cosh mL+  (h/mk) sinh mL]

θ/θb = [ cosh m(L - L) + ( h/mk) sinh m (L - L)]   / [cosh mL+  (h/mk) sinh mL]

θ/θb = [ 1 ]  / [cosh mL+  (h/mk) sinh mL]

so we substitute

0.893 =  [ 1 ]  / [cosh (942809.04 × L) +  (0.00353) sinh (942809.04 × L)]

L = 510 × 10⁻⁹m

L = 510 nm

therefore maximum length of the nanowire is 510 nm

1. Consider a city of 10 square kilometers. A macro cellular system design divides the city up into square cells of 1 square kil
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a) n = 1000\,users, b)\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h, \Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h, \Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h, c) n = 10000000\,users, \Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h, \Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h, \Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h

Explanation:

a) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

n = \frac{10\,km^{2}}{1\,\frac{km^{2}}{cell} }\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )

n = 1000\,users

b) The length of the side of each cell is:

l = \sqrt{1\,km^{2}}

l = 1\,km

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h

c) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

n = \frac{10\times 10^{6}\,m^{2}}{100\,m^{2}}\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )

n = 10000000\,users

The length of each side of the cell is:

l = \sqrt{100\,m^{2}}

l = 10\,m

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{0.01\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h

Air-conditioners consume a significant amount of electrical energy in buildings. Split air conditioner is a unitary system where
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Evaporator,Compressor,Condensor ,Expanding valve

Explanation:

Split air conditioning :

  Split air conditioning means that, condensor unit or some time called outdoor unit is split from evaporator.It means that evaporator and condensor are placed at some distance.

The four component of split air conditioning system are as follows

1.Evaporator

 It absorb heat from room and produces the cooling effect.

2.Compressor

 It compresses the refrigerant which exits from evaporator.

3.Condensor

 It rejects the heat and cool the evaporator.

4.Expanding valve

  It allows to refrigerant to cool up to evaporator pressure.

Four race cars are traveling on a 2.5-mile tri-oval track. The four cars are traveling at constant speeds of 195 mi/h, 190 mi/h,
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) The number of times, the car with the speed of  195 mph will cross the given point is equal to 30 minutes divided by the time taken by car to cross the 2.5 miles.

0 .5*195/2.5 = 39

Likewise, the car with the speed of 190 mph crosses the point 38 times; the car with the speed of 185 mph crosses the point 37 times

and car with the speed of 180 mph crosses it 36 times

here, the time-mean speed, vt is given below,

vt = (39*195 +38*190+37*185+36*180)/(39+38+37+38)

= 186.433 mph

and space mean speed is given by,

= (39+38+37+36)/(39/195+38/190+37/1850+36/180)

1) The number of times, the car with the speed of  195 mph will cross the given point is equal to 30 minutes divided by the time taken by car to cross the 2.5 miles.

0 .5*195/2.5 = 39

Likewise, the car with the speed of 190 mph crosses the point 38 times; the car with the speed of 185 mph crosses the point 37 times

and car with the speed of 180 mph crosses it 36 times

here, the time-mean speed, vt is given below,

vt = (39*195 +38*190+37*185+36*180)/(39+38+37+38)

= 186.433 mph

and space mean speed is given by,

= (39+38+37+36)/(39/195+38/190+37/1850+36/180)

=187.5 mph

2)  There would be only four number of observations when the aerial photo is given, therefore time mean speed, vt in that condition will be calculated as

Vt = 195+190+185+180/4

  = 187.5

Vs= 4/(1/195+1/190+1/185+1/180)

= 188.36 mph

2)  There would be only four number of observations when the aerial photo is given, therefore time mean speed, vt, in that condition will be calculated as

Vt = 195+190+185+180/4

  = 187.5

Vs= 4/(1/195+1/190+1/185+1/180)

= 188.36 mph
