Under conditions for which the same roojm temperature is mainteined bt a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a per

son to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. Provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) y by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20 Dagree C throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27 Dagree C and 14 Dagree C in the summer and winter, respectively. The exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32 Dagree C throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. The coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 W/m2 Middot K.

Answer:

Net heat transfers: during summer = 52.253 W/m^2 during winter = 119.375 w/m^2

Explanation:

Given data :

Room temperature throughout the year = 20⁰c = 293 k

Room temperature during summer = 27⁰c = 300 k

Room temperature during winter = 14⁰c = 287 k

surface temperature of a person throughout the year = 32⁰c = 305 k

coefficient of heat transfer by natural convection (h)= 2 w /m^2 k

emissivity = 0.9

An explanation to the condition of feeling chilled during the winter and comfortable during summer can be explained with the calculation below

The heat transfer from the surface body of a person the the room is carried out by convection and this can be calculated as

q = hΔt = 2 * ( 305 - 293) = 2 * 12 = 24 w /m^2

also calculate heat transfer through radiation using this formula

$q_{rad} =$ εσ [ (Temperature of body)^4- (temperature of room at each season)^4 ]

ε = 0.90,(emissivity) σ = 5.67 *10^-8 w/^2 . k ( Boltzmann's constant)

during summer :

$q_{rad}$ = (0.90)*(5.67*10^-8)* ( 305^4 - 300^4 ) = 28.253 W/m^2

therefore the net heat transfer during the summer = 24 w/m^3 + 28.253 W/m^3 = 52.253 W/m^2

During winter :

$q_{rad}$ = (0.90)*(5.67*10^-8) * ( 305^4 - 287^4 ) = 95.375 W/m^3

therefore the net heat transfer during the winter

= 24 w/m^3 + 95.375w/m^3 = 119.375 w/m^2

hree large plates are separated bythin layers of ethylene glycol and water. The top plate moves to the right at 2m/s. At what sp

MakcuM [25]

Answer: For the center plate to remain stationed in one position without rotating, the bottom plate has to move to the left at a speed of 2m/s, so as to cancel the force acting on it from the top.

The center plate will not move when the bottom plate is moving left in a speed of 2m/s to counter the speed of the top plate, because a body will continue to be at rest if all the forces acting towards the body are equal. The center plate will be at rest because we have directed equal force from the top and bottom of the plate.

6. At a construction site, cement, sand, and gravel are used to make concrete. The ratio of cement to sand to gravel is 1 to 2.4

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Mass of cement used is 62.5 lb

Mass of gravel used is 225 lb

Explanation:

The ratio given here is cement to sand to gravel = 1 : 2.4 : 3.6

So, for 150 lb of sand

C : S : G = 1 : 2.4 : 3.6

$\frac{C}{S}=\frac{1}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=S\frac{1}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=150\frac{1}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=62.5\ lb$

Mass of cement used is 62.5 lb

$\frac{S}{G}=\frac{2.4}{3.6}\\\Rightarrow G=S\frac{3.6}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=150\frac{3.6}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow C=225\ lb$

Mass of gravel used is 225 lb

Which is the best description of power? A. the amount of kinetic energy lost during motion

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

D. a measure of how fast a machine performs work

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Power = \frac {Energy}{time}$

Hence, the best description of power is that, it is a measure of how fast a machine performs work.

This can be calculated by using the mathematical expression below;

$Power = \frac {Work done}{Time}$

But we know that, $Workdone = force * distance$
