Define the terms (a) thermal conductivity, (b) heat capacity and (c) thermal diffusivity
IceJOKER [234]

Explanation:

<u>(a)</u>

<u>The measure of material's ability to conduct thermal energy (heat) is known as thermal conductivity.</u> For examples, metals have high thermal conductivity, it means that they are very efficient at conducting heat.<u> The SI unit of heat capacity is W/m.K.</u>

The expression for thermal conductivity is:

q=-\kappa \bigtriangledown T

Where,

q is the heat flux

\kappa is the thermal conductivity

\bigtriangledown T is the temperature gradient.

<u>(b)</u>

<u>Heat capacity for a substance is defined as the ratio of the amount of energy required to change the temperature of the substance and the magnitude of temperature change. The SI unit of heat capacity is J/K.</u>

The expression for Heat capacity is:

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}

Where,

C is the Heat capacity

E is the energy absorbed/released

\Delta T is the change in temperature

<u>(c)</u>

<u>Thermal diffusivity is defined as the thermal conductivity divided by specific heat capacity at constant pressure and its density. The Si unit of thermal diffusivity is m²/s.</u>

The expression for thermal diffusivity is:

\alpha=\frac{\kappa}{C_p \times \rho}

Where,

\alpha is thermal diffusivity

\kappa is the thermal conductivity

C_p is specific heat capacity at constant pressure

\rho is density

An air standard cycle with constant specific heats is executed in a closed system with 0.003 kg of air and consists of the follo
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a) Please see attached copy below

b) 0.39KJ

c)  20.9‰

Explanation:

The three process of an air-standard cycle are described.

Assumptions

1. The air-standard assumptions are applicable.

2. Kinetic and potential energy negligible.

3. Air in an ideal gas with a constant specific heats.

Properties:

The properties of air are gotten from the steam table.

b) T₁=290K ⇒ u₁=206.91 kj/kg, h₁=290.16 kj/kg.

P₂V₂/T₂=P₁V₁/T₁⇒ T₂=P₂T₁/P₁ = 380/95(290K)= 1160K

T₃=T₂(P₃/P₂)⁽k₋1⁾/k =(1160K)(95/380)⁽⁰°⁴/₁.₄⁾ =780.6K

Qin=m(u₂₋u₁)=mCv(T₂-T₁)

=0.003kg×(0.718kj/kg.k)(1160-290)K= 1.87KJ

Qout=m(h₃₋h₁)=mCp(T₃₋T₁)

=0.003KG×(1.005kj/kg.k(780.6-290)K= 1.48KJ

Wnet, out= Qin-Qout = (1.87-1.48)KJ =0.39KJ

c)ηth= Wnet/W₍in₎ =0.39KJ/1.87KJ = 20.9‰

You are working as an electrical technician. One day, out in the field, you need an inductor but cannot find one. Looking in you
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) the inductance of the coil is 6 mH

b) the emf generated in the coil is 18 mV  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

N = 570 turns

diameter of tube d = 8.10 cm = 0.081 m

length of the wire-wrapped portion l =  35.0 cm = 0.35 m

a) the inductance of the coil (in mH)

inductance of solenoid

L = N²μA / l

A = πd²/4  

so

L = N²μ(πd²/4) / l

L = N²μ(πd²) / 4l

we know that μ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ TmA⁻¹

we substitute

L = [(570)² × 4π × 10⁻⁷× ( π × (0.081)² )] / 4(0.35)

L =  0.00841549 / 1.4

L = 6 × 10⁻³ H    

L = 6 × 10⁻³ × 1000 mH

L = 6 mH

Therefore, the inductance of the coil is 6 mH

b)

Emf ( ∈ ) = L di/dt

given that; di/dt = 3.00 A/sec

{∴ di = 3 - 0 = 3 and dt = 1 sec}

Emf ( ∈ ) = L di/dt

we substitute

⇒ 6 × 10⁻³ ( 3/1 )

= 18 × 10⁻³ V

= 18 × 10⁻³ × 1000

= 18 mV  

Therefore, the emf generated in the coil is 18 mV

Shows a closed tank holding air and oil to which is connected a U-tube mercury manometer and a pressure gage. Determine the read
damaskus [11]

Answer:

P_2-P_1=27209h

Explanation:

For pressure gage we can determine this by saying:

The closed tank with oil and air has a pressure of P₁ and the pressure of oil at a certain height in the U-tube on mercury is p₁gh₁. The pressure of mercury on the air in pressure gauge is p₂gh₂. The pressure of the gage is P₂.

P_1+p_1gh_1=p_2_gh_2+P_2

We want to work out P₁-P₂: Heights aren't given so we can solve it in terms of height: assuming h₁=h₂=h

P_1-P_2=p_1gh_1-p_2gh_2=(55)\cdot{32.2}h-845\cdot{32.2}h

P_2-P_1=27209h
