Answer:

24.72 kwh

Explanation:

Electric energy=potential energy=mgz where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and z is the elevation.

Substituting the given values while taking g as 9.81 and dividing by 3600 to convert to per hour we obtain

PE=(108*9.81*84)/3600=24.72 kWh

A 1000 W iron utilizes a resistance wire which is 20 inches long and has a diameter of 0.08 inches. Determine the rate of heat g
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume is 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux is 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

Explanation:

Rate of heat generation = 1000 W = 1000/0.29307 = 3412.15 Btu/hr

Area (A) = πD^2/4

Diameter (D) = 0.08 inches = 0.08 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 0.0067 ft

A = 3.142×0.0067^2/4 = 3.53×10^-5 ft^2

Volume (V) = A × Length

L = 20 inches = 20 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 1.67 ft

V = 3.53×10^-5 × 1.67 = 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3

Rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3 = 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 3.53×10^-5 ft^2 = 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

Do plastic materials have high or low ductility? Explain why.​
Flura [38]
The impact behavior of plastic materials is strongly dependent upon the temperature. At high temperatures, materials are more ductile and have high impact toughness. At low temperatures, some plastics that would be ductile at room temperature become brittle.
