Explanation:

The unit refrigeration is generally is given in terms of tons.In refrigeration compressor consume some amount of work to produce the cooling effect with the help of evaporator and condenser.

In the simple words ton is the cooling load of refrigeration system.

1 ton = 3.5 KW

1 ton = 12,000 BTU/hr

The wall of drying oven is constructed by sandwiching insulation material of thermal conductivity k = 0.05 W/m°K between thin me

masha68 [24]

Answer:

86 mm

Explanation:

From the attached thermal circuit diagram, equation for i-nodes will be

$\frac {T_ \infty, i-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cv, i}} + \frac {T_{o}-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + q_{rad} = 0$ Equation 1

Similarly, the equation for outer node “o” will be

$\frac {T_{ i}-T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + \frac {T_{\infty, o} -T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cv, o}} = 0$ Equation 2

The conventive thermal resistance in i-node will be

$R^{"}_{cv, i}= \frac {1}{h_{i}}= \frac {1}{30}= 0.033 m^{2}K/w$ Equation 3

The conventive hermal resistance per unit area is

$R^{"}_{cv, o}= \frac {1}{h_{o}}= \frac {1}{10}= 0.100 m^{2}K/w$ Equation 4

The conductive thermal resistance per unit area is

$R^{"}_{cd}= \frac {L}{K}= \frac {L}{0.05} m^{2}K/w$ Equation 5

Since $q_{rad}$ is given as 100, $T_{o}$ is 40 $T_ \infty$ is 300 $T_{\infty, o}$ is 25

Substituting the values in equations 3,4 and 5 into equations 1 and 2 we obtain

$\frac {300-T_{i}}{0.033} +\frac {40-T_{i}}{L/0.05} +100=0$ Equation 6

$\frac {T_{ i}-40}{L/0.05}+ \frac {25-40}{0.100}=0$

$T_{i}-40= \frac {L}{0.05}*150$

$T_{i}-40=3000L$

$T_{i}=3000L+40$ Equation 7

From equation 6 we can substitute wherever there’s $T_{i}$ with 3000L+40 as seen in equation 7 hence we obtain

$\frac {300- (3000L+40)}{0.033} + \frac {40- (3000L+40)}{L/0.05}+100=0$

The above can be simplified to be

$\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}+ \frac {(-3000L)}{L/0.05}+100=0$

$\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}=50$

-3000L=1.665-260

$L= \frac {-258.33}{-3000}=0.086*10^{-3}m= 86mm$

Therefore, insulation thickness is 86mm

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Kieran is a Carpenter, and Kurt is a Drafter

Explanation:

Among all the professions listed, Kurt can only possibly be a Drafter. A Drafter is an engineering technician who makes detailed technical drawings or plans for machinery, buildings, electronics, infrastructure, sections, etc. Drafters make use of computer software and manual sketches to convert the designs, plans, and layouts of engineers and architects into a set of technical drawings. All the other professions will at some point need for the professional to stand and work at an height above the ground except for a drafter, whose feet will remain on the ground at almost all times.
