A common method to measure thermal conductivity of a biomaterial is to insert a long metallic probe axially into the center of a

long cylindrical container of the material. The probe is maintained at some uniform temperature Ti, and the outside of the container is maintained at a temperature To. Inside the metallic probe is an electrical heater for which the electrical power is measured. If the diameter of the probe maintained at 50°C is 1 cm, the outer diameter of the container maintained at 20°C is 4 cm, the length of the cylinder container is 60 cm, and the power input is 40.8 W, calculate the thermal conductivity of this material.

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

Explanation:

Let suppose that thermal conduction is uniform and one-dimensional, the conduction heat transfer (\dot Q), measured in watts, in the hollow cylinder is:

\dot Q = \frac{2\cdot k\cdot L}{\ln \left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)}\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})

Where:

k - Thermal conductivity, measured in watts per meter-Celsius.

L - Length of the cylinder, measured in meters.

D_{i} - Inner diameter, measured in meters.

D_{o} - Outer diameter, measured in meters.

T_{i} - Temperature at inner surface, measured in Celsius.

T_{o} - Temperature at outer surface, measured in Celsius.

Now we clear the thermal conductivity in the equation:

k = \frac{\dot Q}{2\cdot L\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})}\cdot \ln\left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)

If we know that \dot Q = 40.8\,W, L = 0.6\,m, T_{i} = 50\,^{\circ}C, T_{o} = 20\,^{\circ}C, D_{i} = 0.01\,m and D_{o} = 0.04\,m, the thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is:

k = \left[\frac{40.8\,W}{2\cdot (0.6\,m)\cdot (50\,^{\circ}C-20\,^{\circ}C)}\right]\cdot \ln \left(\frac{0.04\,m}{0.01\,m} \right)

k \approx 1.571\,\frac{W}{m\cdot ^{\circ}C}

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

A rocket blasts off from the Earth's surface. During the initial phase of flight, the engine of the rocket burns fuel at a rate
Katen [24]

Answer:

αβ = Ma

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd Law, the equation governing the motion of the rocket while the rocket is burning fuel is

αβ = Ma where  α = rocket's fuel burning rate, β = relative to the velocity of the rocket, M = instantaneous mass of the rocket and a = acceleration of rocket.

Two speakers emit the same sound wave, identical frequency, wavelength, and amplitude. What other quantity would be necessary to
Komok [63]

Answer:

Phase Difference

Explanation:

When the sound waves have same wavelength, frequency and amplitude we just need the phase difference between them at a particular location to determine whether the waves are in constructive interference or destructive interference.

Interference is a phenomenon in which there is superposition of two coherent waves at a particular location in the medium of propagation.

When the waves are in constructive interference then we get a resultant wave of maximum amplitude and vice-versa in case of destructive interference.

  • For constructive interference the waves must have either no phase difference or a phase difference of nλ, where n is any natural number.
  • For destructive interference the waves must have a phase difference of n×0.5λ, where n is any odd number.
