Answer:

Air cooling.

Explanation:

Low power motors are supposed to be low cost, and they dissipate little heat. Therefore a low cost solution is ideal.

Air cooling can be achieved with very little cost. Fins can be added to a cast motor casing and a fan can be places on the shaft to use a small amount of the motor power to move air to cool it.

Answer:

The net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20-min ride to school is 139.164 BTU.

Explanation:

From Heat Transfer we determine that heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in BTU per hour, is represented by this formula:

$\dot Q = \epsilon\cdot A\cdot \sigma \cdot (T_{s}^{4}-T_{b}^{4})$ (1)

Where:

$\epsilon$ - Emissivity, dimensionless.

$A$ - Surface area of the student, measured in square feet.

$\sigma$ - Stefan-Boltzmann constant, measured in BTU per hour-square feet-quartic Rankine.

$T_{s}$ - Temperature of the student, measured in Rankine.

$T_{b}$ - Temperature of the bus, measured in Rankine.

If we know that $\epsilon = 0.90$ , $A = 16.188\,ft^{2}$ , $\sigma = 1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}}$ , $T_{s} = 554.07\,R$ and $T_{b} = 527.67\,R$ , then the heat transfer rate due to electromagnetic radiation is:

$\dot Q = (0.90)\cdot (16.188\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(1.714\times 10^{-9}\,\frac{BTU}{h\cdot ft^{2}\cdot R^{4}} \right)\cdot [(554.07\,R)^{4}-(527.67\,R)^{4}]$

$\dot Q = 417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h}$

Under the consideration of steady heat transfer we find that the net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20 min-ride to school is:

$Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t$ (2)

Where $\Delta t$ is the heat transfer time, measured in hours.

If we know that $\dot Q = 417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h}$ and $\Delta t = \frac{1}{3}\,h$ , then the net energy transfer is:

$Q = \left(417.492\,\frac{BTU}{h} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\,h \right)$

$Q = 139.164\,BTU$

The net energy transfer from the student's body during the 20-min ride to school is 139.164 BTU.

What Advantage does a voltmeter have over a noncontact voltage indicator when testing for voltage

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Obviously you shouldn't rely just on the meter for your safety. You'd disconnect wall fuses or kill main switches before you start, using the meter just gives you some extra protection: with the meter you might notice for example that you've disconnected the wrong fuse and the unit is still live.

Explanation:

Hope it helps! :)
