The temperature of a gas stream is to be measured by a thermocouple whose junction can be approximated as a 1.2-mm-diameter sphe

re. The properties of the junction are k = 35 W/m⋅K, rho = 8500 kg/m3, and cp = 320 J/kg⋅K, and the heat transfer coefficient between the junction and the gas is h = 110 W/m2⋅K. Determine how long it will take for the thermocouple to read 98.5 percent of the initial temperature difference

Answer:

First compute the characteristic length and the Biot number to see if the lumped analysis is applicable

Lc = V/A = (pie*D3/6) / (pie * D2)= 1.2/6 = 0.0012/6= 0.0002m

Bi = hLc/K = (110W/m2.oC)(0.0002)(moC/35W)= 110*0.0002/35 = 0.0006 less than 0.1

Since the Biot number is less than 0.1, we can use the lumped parameter analysis.

In such an analysis, the time to reach a certain temperature is given by

t = -1/bIn(T-Tinfinite/T - Tinfinite)

From the data in the problem we can compute the parameter, b, and then compute the time for the ratio (T – Tinfinite/(Ti – Tinfinite) to reach the desired value.

b = hA/pCpV = h/pCpLc = 110/8500*0.0002 *320*s

b = 110/544s = 0.2022/s

The problem statement is interpreted to read that the measured temperature difference T – Tinfinite has eliminated 98.5% of the transient error in the initial temperature reading Ti – Tinfinite so the value of value of (T – Tinfinite)/(Ti – Tinfinite) to be used in this equation is 0.015

t = -1/bIn(T-Tinfinite/T - Tinfinite)

t = -s/0.1654 (In0.015)

t = (-s*-4.1997)/0.2022

t = 20.77s

It will take the thermocouple 20.77s to reach 98.5% of the initial temperature

A race car is travelling around a circular track. The velocity of the car is 20 m/s, the radius of the track is 300 m, and the m
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

μ = 0.136

Explanation:

given,

velocity of the car = 20 m/s

radius of the track = 300 m

mass of the car = 2000 kg

centrifugal force

F_c = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F_c = \dfrac{2000\times 20^2}{300}

F c = 2666. 67 N

F f= μ N

F f = μ m g

2666.67  =  μ × 2000 × 9.8

μ = 0.136

so, the minimum coefficient of friction between road surface and car tyre is equal to μ = 0.136

(3) Calculate the heat flux through a sheet of brass 7.5 mm (0.30 in.) thick if the temperatures at the two faces are 150°Cand 5
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a.) 1.453MW/m2,  b.)  2,477,933.33 BTU/hr  c.) 22,733.33 BTU/hr  d.) 1,238,966.67 BTU/hr

Explanation:

Heat flux is the rate at which thermal (heat) energy is transferred per unit surface area. It is measured in W/m2

Heat transfer(loss or gain) is unit of energy per unit time. It is measured in W or BTU/hr

1W = 3.41 BTU/hr

Given parameters:

thickness, t = 7.5mm = 7.5/1000 = 0.0075m

Temperatures 150 C = 150 + 273 = 423 K

                        50 C = 50 + 273 = 323 K

Temperature difference, T = 423 - 323 = 100 K

We are assuming steady heat flow;

a.) Heat flux, Q" = kT/t

K= thermal conductivity of the material

The thermal conductivity of brass, k = 109.0 W/m.K

Heat flux, Q" = \frac{109 * 100}{0.0075} = 1,453,333.33 W/m^{2} \\ Heat flux, Q" = 1.453MW/m^{2} \\

b.) Area of sheet, A = 0.5m2

Heat loss, Q = kAT/t

Heat loss, Q = \frac{109*0.5*100}{0.0075} = 726,666.667W

Heat loss, Q = 726,666.667 * 3.41 = 2,477,933.33 BTU/hr

c.) Material is now given as soda lime glass.

Thermal conductivity of soda lime glass, k is approximately 1W/m.K

Heat loss, Q=\frac{1*0.5*100}{0.0075} = 6,666.67W

Heat loss, Q = 6,666.67 * 3.41 = 22,733.33 BTU/hr

d.) Thickness, t is given as 15mm = 15/1000 = 0.015m

Heat loss, Q=\frac{109*0.5*100}{0.015} =363,333.33W

Heat loss, Q = 363,333.33 * 3.41 = 1,238,966.67 BTU/hr
