Answer:
The heat loss rate through one of the windows made of polycarbonate is 252W. If the window is made of aerogel, the heat loss rate is 16.8W. If the window is made of soda-lime glass, the heat loss rate is 1190.4W.
The cost associated with the heat loss through the windows for an 8-hour flight is:
For aerogel windows: $17.472 (most efficient)
For polycarbonate windows: $262.08
For soda-lime glass windows: $1,238.016 (least efficient)
Explanation:
To calculate the heat loss rate through the window, we can use a model of heat transmission by conduction throw flat wall. Using unidimensional Fourier law:

In this case:

If we replace the data provided by the problem we get the heat loss rate through one of the windows of each material (we only have to change the thermal conductivities).
To obtain the thermal conductivity of the soda-lime glass we use the graphic attached to this answer (In this case for soda-lime glass k₃₀₀=0.992w/m·K).
To calculate the cost associated with the heat loss through the windows for an 8-hour flight we use this formula (using the heat loss rate calculated in each case):

Answer:
The lift coefficient is 0.3192 while that of the moment about the leading edge is-0.1306.
Explanation:
The Upper Surface Cp is given as

The Lower Surface Cp is given as

The difference of the Cp over the airfoil is given as

Now the Lift Coefficient is given as

Now the coefficient of moment about the leading edge is given as

So the lift coefficient is 0.3192 while that of the moment about the leading edge is-0.1306.
Answer:
Environmental assessments (EAs) are an important component of any civil engineering project. Delgado Engineering has been contracted to design and assess a multibillion-dollar urban rail center in a city, which is divided in the middle by a river. The center will be built on a previously unused island in the center of the river. For each of the four types of civil engineers (construction engineer, geotechnical engineer, structural engineer, transportation engineer), explain why they should be involved in the project—or why they would not be relevant to the project—and what their role would be. Then describe how the EA would proceed, including what might be included in the environmental impact assessment process, such as the use of geographic information systems. Finally, explain what might be in the environmental impact statement or why you think there may be a finding of no significant impact.
Answer:

Explanation:
The question is: <em>Find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the star with mass m₂</em>
The <em>centripetal acceleration</em> is the quotient of the centripetal force and the mass.

Thus, you can write the equations for each star:


As per Newton's third law, the centripetal forces are equal in magnitude. Then:

Now you can clear
