A common method to measure thermal conductivity of a biomaterial is to insert a long metallic probe axially into the center of a
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

Explanation:

Let suppose that thermal conduction is uniform and one-dimensional, the conduction heat transfer (\dot Q), measured in watts, in the hollow cylinder is:

\dot Q = \frac{2\cdot k\cdot L}{\ln \left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)}\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})

Where:

k - Thermal conductivity, measured in watts per meter-Celsius.

L - Length of the cylinder, measured in meters.

D_{i} - Inner diameter, measured in meters.

D_{o} - Outer diameter, measured in meters.

T_{i} - Temperature at inner surface, measured in Celsius.

T_{o} - Temperature at outer surface, measured in Celsius.

Now we clear the thermal conductivity in the equation:

k = \frac{\dot Q}{2\cdot L\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})}\cdot \ln\left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)

If we know that \dot Q = 40.8\,W, L = 0.6\,m, T_{i} = 50\,^{\circ}C, T_{o} = 20\,^{\circ}C, D_{i} = 0.01\,m and D_{o} = 0.04\,m, the thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is:

k = \left[\frac{40.8\,W}{2\cdot (0.6\,m)\cdot (50\,^{\circ}C-20\,^{\circ}C)}\right]\cdot \ln \left(\frac{0.04\,m}{0.01\,m} \right)

k \approx 1.571\,\frac{W}{m\cdot ^{\circ}C}

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

In most cases, what happens to a liquid when it cools?
erik [133]

Answer:

Option (A) and (F)

Explanation:

As the liquid cools down, it means the temperature decreases the density of the liquid increases in most o the cases.

Now the volume is inversely proportional to the density of substance so density increases.

A 53 kg crate is at rest on a level floor, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.36. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

42.6 m

Explanation:

mass of crate m = 53 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.36

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Force, F = 372.098 N

Net force, f = F - friction force

f = 372.098 - μ m x g = 372.098 - 0.36 x 53 x 9.8

f = 185.114 N

acceleration, a = f / m = 185.114 / 53 = 3.49 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = 0

time, t = 4.94 s

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

s = 0 + 1/2 x 3.49 x 4.94 x 4.94

s = 42.6 m

The correct equation for the x component of a vector named A with an angle measured from the x axis would be which of the follow
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Acosθ

Explanation:

The x-component of a vector is defined as :

Magnitude * cosine of the angle

Maginitude * cosθ

The magnitude is represented as A

Hence, horizontal, x - component of the vector is :

Acosθ

Furthermore,

The y-component is taken as the sin of the of the angle multiplied by the magnitude

Vertical, y component : Asinθ
