Answer:

Thermal resistance for a wall depends on the material, the thickness of the wall and the cross-section area.

Explanation:

Current flow and heat flow are very similar when we are talking about 1-dimensional energy transfer. Attached you can see a picture we can use to describe the heat flow between the ends of the wall. First of all, a temperature difference is required to flow heat from one side to the other, just like voltage is required for current flow.  You can also see that R_{th} represents the thermal resistance. The next image explains more about the parameters which define the value of the thermal resistances which are the following:

  1. Wall Thickness.  More thickness, more thermal resistance.
  2. Material thermal conductivity (unique value for each material). More conductivity, less thermal resistance.
  3. Cross-section Area. More cross-section area, less thermal resistance.

A expression to define  the thermal resistance for the wall is as follows:  R_{th} =\frac{l}{Ak}, where  l is the distance between the tow sides of the wall, that is to say the wall thickness; A is the cross-section area and k is the material conducitivity.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The program is given below with appropriate comments for better understanding

Explanation:

#Program

# foot stride = 2.5 feet

# 1 mile = 5280 feet

no_stride_first_min = int(input('Enter the number strides made durng the first minute of jogging: '))

no_stride_last_min = int(input('Enter the number strides made durng the last minute of jogging: '))

avg_stride_one_min = (no_stride_first_min + no_stride_last_min)/2 # calculates the average stride per minute

jogging_duration = float(input('Enter the total time spent jogging in hours and minute: '))

jogging_duration_hours = int(jogging_duration) # gets the hour

jogging_duration_min = jogging_duration - int(jogging_duration) # gets the minute

tot_jogging_duration_min = jogging_duration_hours*60 + jogging_duration_min # calculates total time in minutes

dist_feet = (avg_stride_one_min*2.5)*tot_jogging_duration_min # calculates the total distance in feet

dist_miles = dist_feet/5280 # calculates the total distance in mile

print('Distance traveled in miles = {0:.2f} miles'.format(dist_miles))

Fiesta28 [93]

Incomplete question. However, I provided information that could assist you in identifying the main problem or issue addressed in any case study.

Explanation:

First, note that a case study is simply a learning aid that allows one to learn from a real-life scenario.

To determine the main problems of a case study one needs to:

  • Read the case as many times as possible to become familiar with the message been expressed. For example,<em> by highlighting or underlining the most important facts </em>it can help you to discover the main problem or issue.
  • Check for any facts provided in the case study, by so doing you can identify the most important problems.

Thus, by taking these few steps you may be able to determine the main problem in that case study.
