Answer:
The rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W
Explanation:
Given:
Thickness of the still air layer (L) = 1 mm
Area of the still air = 1 m
Temperature of the still air ( T) = 20°C
Thermal conductivity of still air (K) at 20°C = 25.87mW/mK
Rate of heat conduction (Q) = ?
To determine the rate of heat conduction through the still air, we apply the formula below.
Q = 517.4 W
Therefore, the rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W
Answer:
The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.
Explanation:
According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:
TA = W * (a * cosθ)
The torque due to effort at C point is:
TC = E * (b * cosθ)
The net torque is equal to 0, we have:
Tnet = 0
W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0
From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W
