Answer:

$x = 0.58\,GW$

Explanation:

The conversion is:

$x = (580000\,kW)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,GW}{1000000\,kW} \right)$

$x = 0.58\,GW$

Consider a 400 mm × 400 mm window in an aircraft. For a temperature difference of 90°C from the inner to the outer surface of th

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

HEAT LOST

polycarbonate = 252 W

soda lime glass = 1680 W

aerogel = 16.8 W

COST associated with heat loss

polycarbonate = $ 262.08

soda lime glass = $ 1,747.2

aerogel = $ 17.472

The cost associated with heat loss is maximum in Soda Lime and minimum in Aerogel

Explanation:

Given that;

surface area for each window = 0.4m * 0.4m = 0.16m^2

DeltaT = 90°C, L = 12mm = 0.012m

thermal conductivity of soda line can be gotten from tables in FUNDAMENTALS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER

so at 300K

KsL = 1.4 W/mK

Kag = 0.014 W/mK

Kpc = 0.21 W/mK

Now HEAT LOSS

for polycarbonate;

Qpc = -KA dt/dx

NOTE ( heat flows from high temperature region to low temperature regions. so the second temperature would be smaller compared to the initial causing a negative in the change in temperature)

so Qag = (0.21 * 0.16 * 90) / 0.012

= 252 W

for soda lime glass;

Qsl = (1.4 * 0.16 * 90) / 0.012

= 1680 W

for aerogel

Qaq = (0.014 * 0.16 * 90) / 0.012

= 16.8 W

Now for COST associated with heat lost

for polycarbonate;

cost = Qpc * 130 * 8 * 1/1000

= 252 * 130 * 8 * 1/1000

= $ 262.08

for soda lime glass;

cost = 1680 * 130 * 8 * 1/1000

= $ 1,747.2

for aerogel

cost = 16.8 * 130 * 8 * 1/1000

= $ 17.472

Therefore the cost associated with heat loss is maximum in Soda Lime and minimum in Aerogel

Which contribution of Science is the most important discovery of man? Explain why?

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

<h2>The Invention of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)</h2>

Explanation:

The internal combustion engine is an engine in which ignition and combustion take place in the engine(in one place), the invention of the ICE was an integral part of the industrial revolution, as there was increasing demand for power, and manual labor could not suffice, especially during the mid 19 century.

The ICE made it possible for tasks that demand intensive power consumption to come through to reality, it was as a result of the invention of the ICE that road transportation was made easier for mankind, as the means of transport then was the use of beast of burden, now we have cars, airplanes ship, etc, essentially the invention of ICE reduced the tedious task man would have to engage in for his daily needs

A lower coefficient of thermal conductivity along with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion and higher electrical resistanc

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

stainless steel

Explanation:

Conductivity refers to the degree to which a specified material conducts electricity. It is the ratio of the current density in the material and the electric field.

The thermal conductivity of a material measures its ability to conduct heat.

In materials of low thermal conductivity, heat transfer occurs at a lower rate as compared to materials of high thermal conductivity.

Thermal expansion of the material refers to its tendency to change its shape, area, and volume as a result of change in temperature.

The electrical resistance of a material refers to the measure of its opposition to the flow of electric current.

<u>Stainless steel</u> has a lower coefficient of thermal conductivity along with a higher coefficient of thermal expansion and higher electrical resistance.
