Answer:

Q = 2450 KJ/day

Explanation:

We are given;

The amount of moisture produced by a person while taking shower; m = 0.25 kg/person

Total number of persons in the family; N = 4

Latent heat of vaporization of water:

h_fg = 2450 KJ/kg

Since amount of moisture per person is 0.25kg per day,thus for 4 people, total mass; m_total = 4 x 0.25 = 1 kg per day

The formula for the amount of latent heat added to the space due to shower per day, is given as;

Q = m_total x h_fg

Plugging in the relevant values;

Q = 1 x 2450 = 2450 KJ/day

A 1000 W iron utilizes a resistance wire which is 20 inches long and has a diameter of 0.08 inches. Determine the rate of heat g
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume is 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux is 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

Explanation:

Rate of heat generation = 1000 W = 1000/0.29307 = 3412.15 Btu/hr

Area (A) = πD^2/4

Diameter (D) = 0.08 inches = 0.08 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 0.0067 ft

A = 3.142×0.0067^2/4 = 3.53×10^-5 ft^2

Volume (V) = A × Length

L = 20 inches = 20 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 1.67 ft

V = 3.53×10^-5 × 1.67 = 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3

Rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3 = 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 3.53×10^-5 ft^2 = 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

The theoretical maximum specific gravity of a mix at 5.0% binder content is 2.495. Using a binder specific gravity of 1.0, find
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content is 2.44.

Explanation:

Given the specific gravity at 5.0 %  binder content 2.495

Therefore

95 % mix + 5 % binder  gives S.G. = 2.495

Where the  binder is S.G. = 1, Therefore

Per 100 mass unit we have (Mx + 5)/(Vx + 5) = 2.495

(95 +5)/(Vx +5) = 2.495

2.495 × (Vx + 5) = 100

Vx =35.08 to 95

Or density of mix = Mx/Vx = 95/35.08 = 2.7081

Therefore when we have 6.5 % binder content, we get

Per 100 mass unit

93.5 Mass unit of Mx has a volume of

Mass/Density = 93.5/2.7081 = 34.526 volume units

Therefore we have

At 6.5 % binder content.

(100 mass unit)/(34.526 + 6.5) = 2.44

The theoretical maximum specific gravity at 6.5% binder content = 2.44.
