A thermocouple junction, which may be approximated as a sphere, is to be used for temperature measurement in a gas stream. The c

onvection coefficient between the junction surface and the gas is known to be h = 400 W/m2 ?K, and the junction thermophysical properties are k = 20 W/m?K, Cp = 400 J/kg?K, and ? = 8500 kg/m3 . Determine the junction diameter needed for the thermocouple to have a time constant of 1 s. If the junction is at 25 oC and is placed in a gas stream that is at 200 oC, how long will it take for the junction to reach 199 oC?

Answer:

t=5.2seconds

Explanation:

First, we state our assumptions:1. Temperature \ of \ the \ junction \ is \ uniform \ at \ any \ instant\\2. Radiation \ is \ negligible\\3. Constant \ properties

Given T_i=25\textdegree C, k=20W/m.K\ , C_p=400J/kg.K \ \rho=8500kg/m^3

and gas streamT_-=25\textdegree C , h=400W/m.K

We use the time constant to find the diameter of the junction:

\tau _t=\frac{1}{hA}\rhoVC_p=\frac{1}{h\pi D^2}\times \frac{\rho \pi \D^3}{6}C_p=>D=0.706mm

Now, check the validity of the lumped system analysis. With L_c=r_o/3

Bi=\frac{hL_c}{k}=2.35\times 10^-^4\leq 0.1    #Lumped Analysis is OK

Bi<<0.1, therefore the lumped approximation is excellent. The time required for the junction to reach T=199\textdegree C:

\frac{T(t)-T_\infty}{T_i-T_\infty}=e^-^b^t\\b=\frac{hA}{\rho VC}\\\\t=\frac{1}{b}In \frac{T_i-T_\infty}{T(t)-T_\infty}\\t=5.2s

It takes 5.2seconds for the junction to reach 199 oC

What causes a satellite to move tangentially to a circular path?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation : We know that two forces acting on the satellite.

The speed of the satellite and the force of the gravity on the satellite then the result , the satellite moves around the earth in a circular motion.

A satellite to move tangentially to a circular path, while revolving around the circular path because the centripetal force is acting on it.

So, we can say gravity is responsible for the motion of the satellite in a circular path.

What length of tube would be required to produce a second tone under the same experimental conditions? Explain your answer.
Alisiya [41]

There is an indirect relationship between length and frequency. The longer the length the pipe has, the higher frequency it is. The shorter the length the pipe has, the lower frequency it is.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension, and density. These properties are described below: When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.

The longer the tube is the lower the pitch of the note that it can emit. When a tube is heated it expands and so is longer! As the gas in the tube gets warmer the molecules move faster, that means they can carry the vibrations of the sound wave more rapidly and so the pitch goes up.

Im sorry i dont understand pls helpp -w-
rodikova [14]
Temperature is related to a physical change of a substance because it determines the state of the object via cooling, heating or freezing. To make the concept clear, hear are some examples:-
1. Chocolate melts and turns into liquid form. This is a physical change
2. Water freezes via cooling and forms ice which is in a solid state. This is another physical change

Hope this helped and have a nice day : )

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force
bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve  y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule,  if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So,  we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x  direction,  so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

To know  more about the right-hand rule refer to the link brainly.com/question/9750730?referrer=searchResults.
