Compute the ratio of the rate of heat loss through a single-pane window with area 0.15 m2 to that for a double-pane window with

the same area. The glass of a single pane is 4.5 mm thick, and the air space between the two panes of the double-pane window is 6.60 mm thick. The glass has thermal conductivity 0.80 W/m⋅K. The air films on the room and outdoor surfaces of either window have a combined thermal resistance of 0.15 m2⋅K/W. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

2.80321285141

Explanation:

L_g = Thickness of glass = 4.5 mm

k_g = Thermal conductivity of glass = 0.8 W/mK

R_0 = Combined thermal resistance = 0.15\times m^2K/W

L_a = Thickness of air = 6.6 mm

k_a = Thermal conductivity of air = 0.024 W/mK

The required ratio is the inverse of total thermal resistance

\dfrac{2(L_g/k_g)+R_0+(L_a/k_a)}{(L_g/k_g)+R_0}\\ =\dfrac{2(4.5\times 10^{-3}/0.8)+0.15+(6.6\times 10^{-3}/0.024)}{(4.5\times 10^{-3}/0.8)+0.15}\\ =2.80321285141

The ratio is 2.80321285141

Answer:

\frac{\dot Q}{\dot Q'} =2.6668

Explanation:

Given:

  • area of the each window panes, A=0.15\ m^2
  • thickness of each pane, t_g=4.5\times 10^{-3}\ m
  • air gap between the two pane of a double pane window, t_a=6.6\times 10^{-3}\ m
  • thermal conductivity of glass, k_g=0.8\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • thermal resistance of the air on the either sides of double pane window, R_{th}=0.15\ m^2.K.W^{-1}

<u>Heat loss through single pane window:</u>

Using Fourier's law of conduction,

\dot Q=A.dT\div (R_{th}+\frac{t_g}{k} )

\dot Q=0.15\times dT\div (0.15+\frac{4.5\times 10^{-3}}{0.8})

\dot Q=0.9638\ dT\ [W]

Heat loss through double pane window:

\dot Q'=dT\times A\div(R_{th}+2\times \frac{t_g}{k}+\frac{t_a}{k_a}  )

where:

dT= change in temperature

k_a= coefficient of thermal conductivity of air = 0.026\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}

\dot Q'=dT\times 0.15\div (0.15+2\times \frac{4.5\times 10^{-3}}{0.8}+\frac{6.6\times 10^{-3}}{0.026})

\dot Q'=0.3614\ dT\ [W]

Now the ratio:

\frac{\dot Q}{\dot Q'} =\frac{0.9638(dT)}{0.3614(dT)}

\frac{\dot Q}{\dot Q'} =2.6668

Two elevators begin descending from the same height. Elevator A has descended 4 feet after one second, 9 feet after two seconds,
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a) y = 400 ft  b) y = 350 ft

Explanation:

We can solve that problem with kinematic relationships

    y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

Let's apply this equation to the elevator 1

     y₁ = v₀ t₁ + ½ to t₁²

time t= 1 s

    y₁ = v₀ 1 + ½ a 1²

    y₁ = v₀ + ½ a

For t = 2s

    y₂ = v₀ 2 + ½ a 2²

    y₂ = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's write the equations and solve the system

    4 = v₀ + ½ a

    9 = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's multiply the first by -2

    -8 = -2v₀ -a

     9 = 2v₀ + 2 a

Let's add

      1 = a

We replace in the first

      4 = v₀ + ½ 1

      v₀ = 4- 1/2

      v₀ = 3.5

The equation for the first elevator is

      y = 3.5 t + ½  t²

For t = 10 s

      y = 3.5 10 + ½ 10²  

      y = 400 ft

We repeat the process for the second elevator

t = 1s

     y₁ = v₀ 1 + ½ a 1²

     3.5 = v₀ + ½ a

t = 2 s

     y₂ = v₀ 2 + ½ a 2²

     6.5 = 2 v₀ +2 a

multiply by -2

    -7 = -2 v₀ - a

     6.5 = 2 v₀ + 2 a

Let's add

    -0.5 = a

I replace in the first equation

    3.5 = v₀ + ½ (-0.5)

    v₀ = 3.5 + 0.25

    v₀ = 3.75

The equation is

    y = 3.75 t -0.25 t²

For t = 10s

    y = 3.75 10 - 0.25 10²

   y = 350 ft

A green light is submerged 2.70 m beneath the surface of a liquid with an index of refraction 1.31. What is the radius of the ci
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The radius is  r = 3.1905 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The  distance  beneath the liquid  is  d =  2.70 \ m

        The refractive index of the liquid is  n_i  =  1.31

Now the critical value is mathematically represented as

         \theta =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{1}{n_i} ]

substituting values

         \theta =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{1}{131} ]

         \theta  =  49.76^o

Using SOHCAHTOA rule we have that

         tan \theta =  \frac{ r}{d}

=>     r =  d * tan \theta

substituting values  

        r =  2.7 * tan (49.76)

        r = 3.1905 \ m

An airplane touches down on the runway with a speed of 70 m/s2. Determine the airplane after each second of its deceleration.
ivann1987 [24]
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
---
vf = velocity final
vi = velocity initial
a = acceleration
d = distance
---
since the airplane is decelerating to zero, vf = 0
---
0 = 55*55 + 2*(-2.5)*d
d = (-55*55)/(2*(-2.5))
d = 605 meters
