The heat flux for a given wall is in the x-direction and given as q^n = 11 W/m^2, the walls thermal conductivity is 1.7 W/mK and
MrMuchimi

Answer:

\frac{dT}{dx} = 6.47 ^oC/m

Also as we can see the equation that heat flux directly depends on the temperature gradient so more is the temperature gradient then more will be the heat flux.

For positive temperature gradient the heat will flow outwards while for negative temperature gradient the heat will flow inwards

Explanation:

As we know that heat flux is given by the formula

q^n = K\frac{dT}{dx}

here we know that

K = thermal conductivity

\frac{dT}{dx} = temperature gradient

now we know that

q^n = 11 W/m^2

also we know that

K = 1.7 W/mK

now we have

11 = 1.7 \frac{dT}{dx}

so temperature gradient is given as

\frac{dT}{dx} = \frac{11}{1.7} = 6.47 K/m

also in other unit it will be same

\frac{dT}{dx} = 6.47 ^oC/m

Also as we can see the equation that heat flux directly depends on the temperature gradient so more is the temperature gradient then more will be the heat flux.

For positive temperature gradient the heat will flow outwards while for negative temperature gradient the heat will flow inwards

John stirs the hot soup with a spoon the heat travels up the spoon to his hand by what process does the heat travel up the spoon
Gemiola [76]

Answer: is<u><em> Second Law of Thermodynamics (conduction)</em></u>.

john stirs the hot soup with a spoon the heat travels up the spoon to his hand is due to the basic law of conduction, also known as the second law of thermodynamics . Heat always travels from hot things toward the cold things, is proved by the phenomena that a cup of tea always get cold, and and a cold dessert or ice cream always melts. Its not possible that the cup of tea become boiling by itself and similarly an ice cream getting frozen on its own in on a hot day. To understand this point there are three ways in which heat can travel namely, conduction, radiation and convection. The process due to heat travels up to the spoon from the soup towards john's hand is called conduction. Conduction is the process in which heat travels between two solid things that are at different temperature. Cooking soup in a saucepan with a metal spoon will make your fingers hot because of the conduction of heat, that travels through the boiling soup pan through metal spoon towards your hand.

David is mowing his lawn. He has been riding on the mower at 50m/hr for 2.5 hours? What is the distance of the area David has mo
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

125 metres

Explanation:

Distance = speed × time

Here , speed = 50m/hr

time = 2.5 hr

So,

Distance = 50 × 2.5

=125 m
