An electric kitchen range has a total wall area of 1.40 m2 and is insulated with a layer of fiberglass 4.0 cm thick. The inside
surface of the fiberglass has a temperature of 175 ∘C and its outside surface is at 35 ∘C. The fiberglass has a thermal conductivity of 0.040 W/(m⋅K).What is the heat current through the insulation, assuming it may be treated as a flat slab with an area of 1.40 m2?What electric-power input to the heating element is required to maintain this temperature?
1 answer:
Answer: Heat current through the insulator=196W
Electric power= 196W
Explanation: Given: Kglass = 0.040W/m
Temperature of inside glassTi=175°C
Temperature of outside glass To= 35°C
Area=1.4m^2 , L= 4×10^-2
Heat current(H)= K ×A× (Ti - To)/L
Substituting the values into the equation
H = 0.04 × K × 1.4 ×(175-35)/4×10^-2
H= 196W.
The electric power = Heat current =196W
The electric power is the magnitude of heat current

Explanation:
G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²
r = Radius of orbit from center of earth
M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg
m = Mass of Satellite
The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed
Speed = Distance / Time
The distance is the perimeter of the orbit
The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force
The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m
