Answer:

a) -k* dT / dx = q_o

b) T(x) = -280*x + 80

c) T(L) = -4 C

Explanation:

Given:

- large plane wall of thickness L = 0.3 m

- thermal conductivity k = 2.5 W/m · °C

- surface area A =12 m2.

- left side of the wall at net heat flux q_o = 700 W/m2 @ x = 0

- temperature at that surface is measured to be T1 =80°C.

Find:

- Express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one dimensional heat conduction through the wall.

- Obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the wall by solving the differential equation

- Evaluate the temperature of the right surface of the wall at x = L.

Solution:

- The mathematical formulation of Rate of change of temperature is as follows:

d^2T / dx^2 = 0

- Using energy balance:

E_out = E_in

-k* dT / dx = q_o

- Integrate the ODE with respect to x:

T(x) = - (q_o / k)*x + C

- Use the boundary conditions, T(0) = T_1 = 80C

80 = - (q_o / k)*0 + C

C = 80 C

-Hence the Temperature distribution in the wall along the thickness is:

T(x) = - (q_o / k)*x + 80

T(x) = -(700/2.5)*x + 80

T(x) = -280*x + 80

- Use the above relation and compute T(L):

T(L) = -280*0.3 + 80

T(L) = -84 + 80 = -4 C

A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 40°C that is being stirred by a paddle wheel. The paddle wheel does 240 kJ of work on the

Sergeu [11.5K]

To solve the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts and formulas related to the change of ideal gas entropy.

By definition the entropy change would be defined as

$\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})$

Using the Boyle equation we have

$\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{v_1T_2}{v_2T_1})$

Where,

$C_p$ = Specific heat at constant pressure

$T_1$ = Initial temperature of gas

$T_2$ = Final temprature of gas

R = Universal gas constant

$v_1$ = Initial specific Volume of gas

$v_2$ = Final specific volume of gas

According to the statement, it is an isothermal process and the tank is therefore rigid

$T_1 = T_2, v_2=v_1$

The equation would turn out as

$\Delta S = C_p ln1-ln1$

<em>Therefore the entropy change of the ideal gas is 0</em>

Into the surroundings we have that

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat Exchange

T = Temperature in the surrounding

Replacing with our values we have that

$\Delta S = \frac{230kJ}{(30+273)K}$

$\Delta S = 0.76 kJ/K$

<em>Therefore the increase of entropy into the surroundings is 0.76kJ/K</em>

A thermoelectric refrigerator is powered by a 16-V power supply that draws 2.9 A of current. If the refrigerator cools down 3.1

Viktor [21]

Answer:

COP = 0.090

Explanation:

The general formula for COP is:

COP = Desired Output/Required Input

Here,

Desired Output = Heat removed from water while cooling

Desired Output = (Specific Heat of Water)(Mass of Water)(Change in Temperature)/Time

Desired Output = [(4180 J/kg.k)(3.1 kg)(25 - 11)k]/[(12 hr)(3600 sec/hr)]

Desired Output = 4.199 W

And the required input can be given as electrical power:

Required Input = Electrical Power = (Current)(Voltage)

Required Input = (2.9 A)(16 V) = 46.4 W

Therefore:

COP = 4.199 W/46.4 W

<u>COP = 0.090</u>

Hand tools based on job requirement and its importance and the classification of hand tools according to its function and its importance are discussed below in details.

Explanation:

Hand tools based on work requirement is essential because Every tool is specifically invented for a particular purpose, so picking the accurate tool will also reduce the amount of energy needed to get work done right without causing injury or harm to either the tools or the exterior being worked on.

classifying of hand tools: wrenches, screwdrivers, cutters, striking tools, hammer tool or struck, pliers, vise, clamps, snips, saws, drills, and knives.
