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

A 2.0-kilogram ball rolls down a ramp. if the ball accelerates at a rate of 12 m/s2, the net force causing the acceleration is:
ehidna [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

f = ma

2 x 12 = 24

answer could differ since it's rolling down a ramp. if an angle is given our approach differs.

If two charged objects in a laboratory are brought to a distance of 0.22 meters away from each other. What is
zysi [14]

Answer:

q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C

Explanation:

The charge on one object, q_1=9.9\times 10^{-5}\ C

The distance between the charges, r = 0.22 m

The force between the charges, F = 4,550 N

Let q₂ is the charge on the other sphere. The electrostatic force between two charges is given by the formula as follows :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{kq_1}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{4550\times (0.22) ^2}{9\times 10^9\times 9.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C

So, the charge on the other sphere is 2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C.
