An electrical heater 100 mm long and 5 mm in diameter is inserted into a hole drilled normal to the surface of a large block of

material having a thermal conductivity of 5 W/m · K. Estimate the temperature reached by the heater when dissipating 50 W with the surface of the block at a temperature of 25°C.

Answer:

T_{1}=94.9^{o}C

Explanation:

Given data

length=100mm

Diameter=5mm

Thermal conductivity=5 W/m.K

Power=50 W

Temperature=25°C

The temperature of heater surface follows from the rate equation written as:

T_{1}=T_{2}+\frac{q}{kS}

Where S can be estimated from the conduction shape factor for a vertical cylinder in semi infinite medium

S=\frac{2\pi L}{ln(\frac{4L}{D} )} \\

Substitute the given values

S=\frac{2\pi (0.1m)}{ln[\frac{4*0.1m}{0.005m} ]}\\ S=0.143m

The temperature of heater is then:

T_{1}=25^{o}C+\frac{50W}{5W/m.K*0.143m} \\T_{1}=94.9^{o}C

The temperature reached by the heater when dissipating 50 W with the surface of the block at a temperature of 25°C.

                           T_{1}=94.9^{o}C

What is the magnification of an astronomical telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 71 cm and whose eyepiece has a
Rus_ich [418]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to optical magnification (is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something.). Specifically the angular magnification of an optical telescope is given by

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

Where,

f_o = Focal length of the objective lens in a refractor

f_e = Focal length of the eyepiece

Our values are given as

f_o = 71cm

f_e =  2.1cm

Replacing we have

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

M = -\frac{71}{2.1}

M = - 33.81

Therefore the magnification of this astronomical telescope is -33.81

How does temperature change affect surface tension
svlad2 [7]
When the temperature increases, the intermolecular forces between the molecules of a liquid become weaker, and some bonds break easily. Thus as temperature increases, the surface tension of a liquid decreases.

The greater the mass is in an object, the higher resistance to a change in movement the object will have.
Bond [772]
True. Since Inertia states this law, we are bound to believe greater mass = greater resistance in change of motion
