The wall of drying oven is constructed by sandwiching insulation material of thermal conductivity k = 0.05 W/m°K between thin me

masha68 [24]

Answer:

86 mm

Explanation:

From the attached thermal circuit diagram, equation for i-nodes will be

$\frac {T_ \infty, i-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cv, i}} + \frac {T_{o}-T_{i}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + q_{rad} = 0$ Equation 1

Similarly, the equation for outer node “o” will be

$\frac {T_{ i}-T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cd}} + \frac {T_{\infty, o} -T_{o}}{ R^{"}_{cv, o}} = 0$ Equation 2

The conventive thermal resistance in i-node will be

$R^{"}_{cv, i}= \frac {1}{h_{i}}= \frac {1}{30}= 0.033 m^{2}K/w$ Equation 3

The conventive hermal resistance per unit area is

$R^{"}_{cv, o}= \frac {1}{h_{o}}= \frac {1}{10}= 0.100 m^{2}K/w$ Equation 4

The conductive thermal resistance per unit area is

$R^{"}_{cd}= \frac {L}{K}= \frac {L}{0.05} m^{2}K/w$ Equation 5

Since $q_{rad}$ is given as 100, $T_{o}$ is 40 $T_ \infty$ is 300 $T_{\infty, o}$ is 25

Substituting the values in equations 3,4 and 5 into equations 1 and 2 we obtain

$\frac {300-T_{i}}{0.033} +\frac {40-T_{i}}{L/0.05} +100=0$ Equation 6

$\frac {T_{ i}-40}{L/0.05}+ \frac {25-40}{0.100}=0$

$T_{i}-40= \frac {L}{0.05}*150$

$T_{i}-40=3000L$

$T_{i}=3000L+40$ Equation 7

From equation 6 we can substitute wherever there’s $T_{i}$ with 3000L+40 as seen in equation 7 hence we obtain

$\frac {300- (3000L+40)}{0.033} + \frac {40- (3000L+40)}{L/0.05}+100=0$

The above can be simplified to be

$\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}+ \frac {(-3000L)}{L/0.05}+100=0$

$\frac {260-3000L}{0.033}=50$

-3000L=1.665-260

$L= \frac {-258.33}{-3000}=0.086*10^{-3}m= 86mm$

Therefore, insulation thickness is 86mm

5. Assume that you and your best friend ench have $1000 to invest. You invest your money

Bezzdna [24]

Correct question reads;

Assume that you and your best friend each have $1000 to invest. You invest your money in a fund that pays 10% per year compound interest. Your friend invests her money at a bank that pays 10% per year simple interest. At the end of 1 year, the difference in the total amount for each of you is:

(a) You have $10 more than she does

(b) You have $100 more than she does

(c) You both have the same amount of money

(d) She has $10 more than you do

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>(d) She has $10 more than you do</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

Using the compound interest formula

A= P [ (1-i)^n-1

Where P = Principal/invested amount, i = annual interest rate in percentage, and n = number of compounding periods.

<u>My compound interest is:</u>

= 1000 [ (1-0.1)^1-1

= $1000

$1,000 + $1,000 invested= $2,000 total amount received.

<u>My friend's simple interest is;</u>

To determine the total amount accrued we use the formula:

P(1 + rt) Where:

P = Invested Amount (1000)

I = Interest Amount (10,000)

r = Rate of Interest per year (10% or 0.2)

t = Time Period (1 )

= 1000 (1 + rt)

= 1000 (1 + 0.1x1)

= $1100 + $1000 invested = $2100 total amount received.

Therefore, we observe that she (my friend) has $100 more than I do.

What effect does air have on the acceleration of aircraft during flight?

scoundrel [369]

The effect would be the altitude of the air, the higher you go up the closer you are to space we’re there’s no oxygen and everything moves slow so when your trying to fly across the world it could feel like your moving slower

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b

scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.

A light bulb is switched on and within a few minutes its temperature becomes constant. Is it at equilibrium or steady state.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature attains equilibrium with the surroundings.

Explanation:

When the light bulb is lighted we know that it's temperature will go on increasing as the filament of the bulb has to constantly dissipates energy during the time in which it is on. Now this energy is dissipated as heat as we know it, this heat energy is absorbed by the material of the bulb which is usually made up of glass, increasing it's temperature. Now we know that any object with temperature above absolute zero has to dissipate energy in form of radiations.

Thus we conclude that the bulb absorbs as well as dissipates it's absorbed thermal energy. we know that this rate is dependent on the temperature of the bulb thus it the temperature of the bulb does not change we can infer that an equilibrium has been reached in the above 2 processes i.e the rate of energy absorption equals the rate of energy dissipation.

Steady state is the condition when the condition does not change with time no matter whatever the surrounding conditions are.
