Explanation:

i) When we divide water vapor's partial pressure by the water's equilibrium vapor pressure at a given temperature we get relative humidity.

It is denoted by ∅

$\phi ={\frac {p_ {H_{2}O} }{p_{H_{2}O} ^{*}}}$

ii) When air is cooled so that it becomes saturated with water vapor the temperature where this occurs is called the dew point.

A furnace wall is to be built of 20-cm firebrick and building (structural) brick of same thickness. The thermal conductivities o

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

q=2313.04 $W/m^2$

T=690.86°C

Explanation:

Given that

Thickness t= 20 cm

Thermal conductivity of firebrick= 1.6 W/m.K

Thermal conductivity of structural brick= 0.7 W/m.K

Inner temperature of firebrick=980°C

Outer temperature of structural brick =30°C

We know that thermal resistance

$R=\dfrac{t}{KA}$

These are connect in series

$R=\left(\dfrac{t}{KA}\right)_{fire}+\left(\dfrac{t}{KA}\right)_{struc}$

$R=\dfrac{0.2}{1.6A}+\dfrac{0.2}{0.7A}\ K/W$

$R=\dfrac{23}{56A}\ K/W$

Heat transfer

$Q=\dfrac{\Delta T}{R}$

$Q=56A\times \dfrac{980-30}{23}\ W$

So heat flux

q=2313.04 $W/m^2$

Lets temperature between interface is T

Now by equating heat in both bricks

$\dfrac{980-T}{\dfrac{0.2}{1.6A}}=\dfrac{T-30}{\dfrac{0.2}{0.7A}}$

So T=690.86°C

A rigid tank whose volume is 2 m3, initially containing air at 1 bar, 295 K, is connected by a valve to a large vessel holding a

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$Q_{cv}=-339.347kJ$

Explanation:

First we calculate the mass of the aire inside the rigid tank in the initial and end moments.

$P_iV_i=m_iRT_i$ (i could be 1 for initial and 2 for the end)

State1

$1bar*|\frac{100kPa}{1}|*2=m_1*0.287*295$

$m_1=232kg$

State2

$8bar*|\frac{100kPa}{1bar}|*2=m_2*0.287*350$

$m_2=11.946$

So, the total mass of the aire entered is

$m_v=m_2-m_1\\m_v=11.946-2.362\\m_v=9.584kg$

At this point we need to obtain the properties through the tables, so

For Specific Internal energy,

$u_1=210.49kJ/kg$

For Specific enthalpy

$h_1=295.17kJ/kg$

For the second state the Specific internal Energy (6bar, 350K)

$u_2=250.02kJ/kg$

At the end we make a Energy balance, so

$U_{cv}(t)-U_{cv}(t)=Q_{cv}-W{cv}+\sum_i m_ih_i - \sum_e m_eh_e$

No work done there is here, so clearing the equation for Q

$Q_{cv} = m_2u_2-m_1u_1-h_1(m_v)$

$Q_{cv} = (11.946*250.02)-(2.362*210.49)-(295.17*9.584)$

$Q_{cv}=-339.347kJ$

The sign indicates that the tank transferred heat<em> to</em> the surroundings.

aksik [14]

Answer:

Tmax=14.5MPa

Tmin=10.3MPa

Explanation:

T = 600 * 0.15 = 90N.m

$T_max =\frac{T_c}{j} = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{90 \times 0.0175}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}$

=14.5MPa

$T_{min} =\frac{T_c}{j} = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{90 \times 0.0125}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}$

=10.3MPa

Why the inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational fields are governed by Laplace's equation?

creativ13 [48]

Answer: Laplace equation provides a linear solution and helps in obtaining other solutions by being added to various solution of a particular equation as well.

Inviscid , incompressible and irrotational field have and basic solution ans so they can be governed by the Laplace equation to obtain a interesting and non-common solution .The analysis of such solution in a flow of Laplace equation is termed as potential flow.
