An experiment to determine the convection coefficient associated with airflow over the surface of a thick stainless steel castin
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

h = 375 KW/m^2K

Explanation:

Given:

Thermo-couple distances: L_1 = 10 mm , L_2 = 20 mm

steel thermal conductivity k = 15 W / mK

Thermo-couple temperature measurements: T_1 = 50 C , T_2 = 40 C

Air Temp T_∞ = 100 C

Assuming there are no other energy sources, energy balance equation is:

                                               E_in = E_out

                                        q"_cond = q"_conv

Since, its a case 1-D steady state conduction, the total heat transfer rate can be found from Fourier's Law for surfaces 1 and 2

q"_cond = k * (T_1 - T_2) / (L_2 - L_1) = 15 * (50 - 40) / (0.02 - 0.01)

=15KW/m^2

Assuming SS is solid, temperature at the surface exposed to air will be 60 C since its gradient is linear in the case of conduction, and there are two temperatures given in the problem. Convection coefficient can be found from Newton's Law of cooling:

q"_conv = h * ( T_∞  - T_s ) ----> h = q"_conv / ( T_∞  - T_s )

                                                   h = 15000 W / (100 - 60 ) C = 375 KW/m^2K

Drivers education - Unit 3
melamori03 [73]

The following scenarios are pertinent to driving conditions that one may encounter. See the following rules of driving.

<h3>What do you do when the car is forced into the guardrail?</h3>

Best response:

  • I'll keep my hands on the wheel and slow down gradually.
  • The reason I keep my hands on the steering wheel is to avoid losing control.
  • This will allow me to slowly back away from the guard rail.
  • The next phase is to gradually return to the fast lane.
  • Slamming on the brakes at this moment would result in a collision with the car behind.

Scenario 2: When driving on a wet road and the car begins to slide

Best response:

  • It is not advised to accelerate.
  • Pumping the brakes is not recommended.
  • Even lightly depressing and holding down the brake pedal is not recommended.
  • The best thing to do is take one foot off the gas pedal.
  • There should be no severe twists at this time.

Scenario 3: When you are in slow traffic and you hear the siren of an ambulance behind

Best response:

  • The best thing to do at this moment is to go to the right side of the lane and come to a complete stop.
  • This helps to keep the patient in the ambulance alive.
  • It also provide a clear path for the ambulance.
  • Moving to the left is NOT recommended.
  • This will exacerbate the situation. If there is no place to park on the right shoulder of the road, it is preferable to stay in the lane.

How do you determine when a truss will fail?<br> (Yield Stress)
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

If a truss buckles or overturns, it is usually because of the failure of an adjacent truss or its bracing. A steel truss in a fire may buckle and overturn because of expansion or weakening from the heat. Most truss failures are the result of broken connections. Photo 1 shows a set of parallel-chord wood trusses supporting a plywood floor deck.

Water at 200C flows through a pipe of 10 mm diameter pipe at 1 m/s. Is the flow Turbulent ? a. Yes b. No
Degger [83]

Answer:

Yes, the flow is turbulent.

Explanation:

Reynolds number gives the nature of flow. If he Reynolds number is less than 2000 then the flow is laminar else turbulent.

Given:

Diameter of pipe is 10mm.

Velocity of the pipe is 1m/s.

Temperature of water is 200°C.

The kinematic viscosity at temperature 200°C is 1.557\times10^{-7}m2/s.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for Reynolds number is given as follows:

Re=\frac{vd}{\nu}

Here, v is velocity, \nu is kinematic viscosity, d is diameter and Re is Reynolds number.

Substitute the values in the above equation as follows:

Re=\frac{vd}{\nu}

Re=\frac{1\times(10mm)(\frac{1m}{1000mm})}{1.557\times10^{-7}}

Re=64226.07579

Thus, the Reynolds number is 64226.07579. This is greater than 2000.

Hence, the given flow is turbulent flow.
