IceJOKER [234]3 years ago

Explanation:

<u>(a)</u>

<u>The measure of material's ability to conduct thermal energy (heat) is known as thermal conductivity.</u> For examples, metals have high thermal conductivity, it means that they are very efficient at conducting heat.<u> The SI unit of heat capacity is W/m.K.</u>

The expression for thermal conductivity is:

q=-\kappa \bigtriangledown T

Where,

q is the heat flux

\kappa is the thermal conductivity

\bigtriangledown T is the temperature gradient.

<u>(b)</u>

<u>Heat capacity for a substance is defined as the ratio of the amount of energy required to change the temperature of the substance and the magnitude of temperature change. The SI unit of heat capacity is J/K.</u>

The expression for Heat capacity is:

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}

Where,

C is the Heat capacity

E is the energy absorbed/released

\Delta T is the change in temperature

<u>(c)</u>

<u>Thermal diffusivity is defined as the thermal conductivity divided by specific heat capacity at constant pressure and its density. The Si unit of thermal diffusivity is m²/s.</u>

The expression for thermal diffusivity is:

\alpha=\frac{\kappa}{C_p \times \rho}

Where,

\alpha is thermal diffusivity

\kappa is the thermal conductivity

C_p is specific heat capacity at constant pressure

\rho is density

If the old radiator is replaced with a new one that has longer tubes made of the same material and same thickness as those in th
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing information

The radiator of a car is a type of heat exchanger. Hot fluid coming from the car engine, called the coolant, flows through aluminum radiator tubes of thickness d that release heat to the outside air by conduction. The average temperature gradient between the coolant and the outside air is about 130 K/mm . The term ΔT/d  is called the temperature gradient which is the temperature difference ΔT between coolant inside and the air outside per unit thickness of tube

answer : Total surface area = 3/2 * area of old radiator

Explanation:

we will use this relation

K = \frac{Qd }{A* change in T }

change in T =  ΔT  

therefore New Area  ( A ) = 3/2 * area of old radiator

Given that the thermal conductivity is the same in the new and old radiators

slega [8]

Answer:

Option A

Chemical engineering

Explanation:

Chemical engineering mainly encompass the study of behavior of different particles such as petroleum, water, drugs and other products. When Anne is involved in a study with engineers who study flow of particles, the flow, viscosity and other properties are among the behavior that chemical engineers are involved in.

Two streams of air enter a control volume: stream 1 enters at a rate of 0.05 kg / s at 300 kPa and 380 K, while stream 2 enters
alex41 [277]

Answer:

0.08kg/s

Explanation:

For this problem you must use 2 equations, the first is the continuity equation that indicates that all the mass flows that enter is equal to those that leave the system, there you have the first equation.

The second equation is obtained using the first law of thermodynamics that indicates that all the energies that enter a system are the same that come out, you must take into account the heat flows, work and mass flows of each state, as well as their enthalpies found with the temperature.

 

finally you use the two previous equations to make a system and find the mass flows
