Answer:

While calculating the stresses in a body since we we assume a constant distribution of stress across a cross section if the body is loaded along the centroid of the cross section , this assumption of uniformity is assumed only on the basis of Saint Venant's Principle.

Saint venant principle states that the non uniformity in the stress at the point of application of load is only significant at small distances below the load and depths greater than the width of the loaded material this non uniformity is negligible and hence a uniform stress distribution is a reasonable and correct assumption while solving the body for stresses thus greatly simplifying the analysis.

Consider two Carnot heat engines operating in series. The first engine receives heat from the reservoir at 1400 K and rejects th

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The temperature T= 648.07k

Explanation:

T1=input temperature of the first heat engine =1400k

T=output temperature of the first heat engine and input temperature of the second heat engine= unknown

T3=output temperature of the second heat engine=300k

but carnot efficiency of heat engine = $1 - \frac{Tl}{Th} \\$

where Th =temperature at which the heat enters the engine

Tl is the temperature of the environment

since both engines have the same thermal capacities <em> $n_{th}$ </em> therefore $n_{th} =n_{th1} =n_{th2}\\n_{th }=1-\frac{T1}{T}=1-\frac{T}{T3}\\ \\= 1-\frac{1400}{T}=1-\frac{T}{300}\\$

We have now that

$\frac{-1400}{T}+\frac{T}{300}=0\\$

multiplying through by T

$-1400 + \frac{T^{2} }{300}=0\\$

multiplying through by 300

- $420000+ T^{2} =0\\T^2 =420000\\\sqrt{T2}=\sqrt{420000} \\T=648.07k$

The temperature T= 648.07k

Calculate the rate at which body heat is conducted through the clothing of a skier in a steady- state process, given the followi

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

230.4W

Explanation:

Heat transfer by conduction consists of the transport of energy in the form of heat through solids, in this case a jacket.

the equation is as follows

$Q=\frac{KA(T2-T1)}{L} \\$

Where

Q=heat

k=conductivity=0.04

A=Area=1.8m^2

T2=33C

T1=1C

L=thickness=1cm=0.01m $Q=\frac{(0.04)(1.8m^2)(33-1)}{0.01m}$

Q=230.4W

the skier loses heat at the rate of 230.4W

Consider a resistor made of pure silicon with a cross-sectional area pf 0.5 μm2, and a length of 50 μm. What is the resistance o

lukranit [14]

Answer: 24 pA

Explanation:

As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.

Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵ Ω cm.

The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:

R = ρ L / A

Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have

R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2

R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω

Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:

I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA
