A wall in a house contains a single window. The window consists of a single pane of glass whose area is 0.15 m2 and whose thickn

ess is 5 mm. Treat the wall as a slab of the insulating material Styrofoam whose area and thickness are 10 m2 and 0.15 m, respectively. Heat is lost via conduction through the wall and the window. The temperature difference between the inside and outside is the same for the wall and the window. Of the total heat lost by the wall and the window, what is the percentage lost by the window

Answer:

The percentage loss of the window is  E  = 97.3%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The area of pane of glass is  A = 0.15 m^2

      The thickness is d = 5mm = \frac{5}{1000} = 0.005m

       The thickness of the wall is  D = 0.15m

       The area of the wall is  a = 10m^2

Generally the heat lost as a result of conduction of the window is  

              Q_{window} = \frac{j_{glass} * A * (\Delta T) }{d}

Where j_{glass} is the thermal conductivity of glass which has a constant value of

          j_{glass} = 0.80 J/(s \cdot m \cdot  C^o)

 Substituting values

                 Q_{window} = \frac{ 0.80  * 0.15  * (\Delta T) }{0.005}

                 Q_{window} = 24 \Delta T

Generally the heat lost as a result of conduction of the wall is  

              Q_{wall} = \frac{j_{styrofoam} * A * (\Delta T) }{d}

j_{styrofoam} s the thermal conductivity of Styrofoam which has a constant value of  j_{styrofoam} = 0.010J / (s \cdot m \cdot C^o)

       Substituting values

                 Q_{wall} = \frac{ 0.010  * 10  * (\Delta T) }{0.15}

                 Q_{wall} = 0.667 \  \Delta T

Now the net loss of heat is

         Q_{net} = Q_{window} +  Q_{wall}

  Substituting values

         Q_{net} = 24 + 0.667

         Q_{net} =  24.667

Now the percentage loss by the window is  

            E  = \frac{Q_{window} }{Q_{net}}  * 100

  Substituting value  

           E  = \frac{24}{24 .667}  * 100

           E  = 97.3%

At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal stresses are 20 ksi (T) on a vertical plane and 30 ksi (C) on a ho
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2}  }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2}    }

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2}  }

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

\sigma _{p1}  +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi (equation 1)

\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero

3. A 4-m × 5-m × 7-m room is heated by the radiator of a steam-heating system. The steam radiator transfers heat at a rate of 10
Natali [406]

Answer:

14.52 minutes

<u>OR</u>

14 minutes and 31 seconds

Explanation:

Let's first start by mentioning the specific heat of air at constant volume. We consider constant volume and NOT constant pressure because the volume of the room remains constant while pressure may vary.

Specific heat at constant volume at 27°C = 0.718 kJ/kg*K

Initial temperature of room (in kelvin) = 283.15 K

Final temperature (required) of room = 293.15 K

Mass of air in room= volume * density= (4 * 5 * 7) * (1.204 kg/m3) = 168.56kg

Heat required at constant volume: 0.718 * (change in temp) * (mass of air)

Heat required = 0.718 * (293.15 - 283.15) * (168.56) = 1,210.26 kJ

Time taken for temperature rise: heat required / (rate of heat change)

Where rate of heat change = 10000 - 5000 = 5000 kJ/hr

Time taken = 1210.26 / 5000 = 0.24205 hours

Converted to minutes = 0.24205 * 60 = 14.52 minutes

What is the braks mean effictive pressure?
OverLord2011 [107]

Engine cylinder pressure

<u>Explanation:</u>

  1. Brake mean effective pressure is a method to calculate  the engine cylinder pressure which  would give the measured brake horsepower. Brake mean effective pressure is used to identify engine efficiency regardless of capacity or engine speed.
  2. It is used to identify engine efficiency.It is measured by means of transducers or pressure gauges.
  3. It is the measure of engine capacity to do work.
