The freezer compartment in a conventional refrigerator can be modeled as a rectangular cavity 0.3 m high and 0.25 m wide with a

depth of 0.5 m. Determine the thickness of styrofoam insulation (k = 0.30 W/m⋅K) needed to limit the heat loss to 400 W if the inner and outer surface temperatures are −10 and 33°C, respectively.

Answer:

Thickness of Styrofoam insulation is 0.02741 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 0.25 m

Depth = 0.5 m

Power = 400 W

Temperature = 33°C

We need to calculate the area of Styrofoam

Using formula of area

A=2(lb+bh+hl)

Put the value into the formula

A=2(0.3\times0.5+0.25\times0.5+0.5\times0.3)

A=0.85\ m^2

Inner surface temperature of freezer

T_{i}=-10°C=263\ K

Outer surface temperature of freezer

T_{o}=33+273=306\ K

We need to calculate the thickness of Styrofoam insulation

Using Fourier law,

q=\dfrac{kA}{L}(T_{o}-T_{i})

L=\dfrac{kA}{q}(T_{o}-T_{i})

Put the value into the formula

L=\dfrac{0.30\times0.85}{400}(306-263)

L=0.02741\ m

Hence, Thickness of Styrofoam insulation is 0.02741 m.

What do you know about tides?
Neporo4naja [7]

Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth. Tide tables can be used to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range") of tides at any given locale.

In an experiment, an object is released from rest from the top of a building. Its speed is measured as it reaches a point that i
NikAS [45]

Answer:

so the speed will increase by 1.44 times then the initial speed if the distance is increased to double

Explanation:

As we know that the air friction or resistance due to air is neglected then we can use the equation of kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

since we released it from rest so we have

v_i = 0

so here we have

v_f = \sqrt{2gd}

now if the distance is double then we have

v_f' = \sqrt{2g(2d)}

now from above two equations we can say that

v_f' = \sqrt2 v_f

so the speed will increase by 1.44 times then the initial speed if the distance is increased to double

Copper has a specific heat of 0.09 cal/g x C . How much change in temperature would the addition of 8373 cal of heat have on a 5
neonofarm [45]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

172.92 °C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Quantity of heat

We are given;

  • Specific heat capacity of copper as 0.09 cal/g°C
  • Quantity of heat is 8373 calories
  • Mass of copper sample as 538.0 g

We are required to calculate the change in temperature.

  • In this case we need to know that the amount of heat absorbed or gained by a substance is given by the product of mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = m × c × ΔT

Therefore, to calculate the change in temperature, ΔT we rearrange the formula;

ΔT = Q ÷ mc

Thus;

ΔT = 8373 cal ÷ (538 g × 0.09 cal/g°C)

    = 172.92 °C

Therefore, the change in temperature will be 172.92 °C
