Discuss the differences between conduction and convective heat transfer.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Basically there are two principal differences between the convection and conduction heat transfer

Explanation:

The conduction heat transfer is referred to the transfer between two solids due a temperature difference, while for, the convective heat transfer is referred to the transfer between a fluid (liquid or gas) and a solid. Also, they used different coefficients for its calculation.

We can include on the explanation that conduction thermal transfer is due to temperature difference, while convection thermal transfer is due to density difference.

A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane-strain fracture tough

jeyben [28]

Complete question:

A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 98.9 MPa root m (90 ksi root in.) and a yield strength of 860 MPa (125,000 psi). The flaw size resolution limit of the flaw detection apparatus is 3.0 mm (0.12 in.). If the design stress is one-half of the yield strength and the value of Y is 1.0, determine whether or not a critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection.

Answer:

Since the flaw 17mm is greater than 3 mm the critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection

so that critical flow is subject to detection

Explanation:

We are given:

Plane strain fracture toughness K $= 98.9 MPa \sqrt{m}$

Yield strength Y = 860 MPa

Flaw detection apparatus = 3.0mm (12in)

y = 1.0

Let's use the expression:

$oc = \frac{K}{Y \sqrt{pi * a}}$

We already know

K= design

a = length of surface creak

Since we are to find the length of surface creak, we will make "a" subject of the formula in the expression above.

Therefore

$a= \frac{1}{pi} * [\frac{k}{y*a}]^2$

Substituting figures in the expression above, we have:

$= \frac{1}{pi} * [\frac{98.9 MPa \sqrt{m}} {10 * \frac{860MPa}{2}}]^2$

= 0.0168 m

= 17mm

Therefore, since the flaw 17mm > 3 mm the critical flow is subject to detection

A sand has a natural water content of 5% and bulk unit weight of 18.0 kN/m3. The void ratios corresponding to the densest and lo

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Relative density = 0.545

Degree of saturation = 24.77%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Water content, w = 5%

Bulk unit weight = 18.0 kN/m³

Void ratio in the densest state, $e_{min}$ = 0.51

Void ratio in the loosest state, $e_{max}$ = 0.87

Now,

Dry density, $\gamma_d=\frac{\gamma_t}{1+w}$

$=\frac{18}{1+0.05}$

= 17.14 kN/m³

Also,

$\gamma_d=\frac{G\gamma_w}{1+e}$

here, G = Specific gravity = 2.7 for sand

$17.14=\frac{2.7\times9.81}{1+e}$

or

e = 0.545

Relative density = $\frac{e_{max}-e}{e_{max}-e_{min}}$

= $\frac{0.87-0.545}{0.87-0.51}$

= 0.902

Also,

Se = wG

here,

S is the degree of saturation

therefore,

S(0.545) = (0.05)()2.7

or

S = 0.2477

or

S = 0.2477 × 100% = 24.77%

A 600 MW power plant has an efficiency of 36 percent with 15

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

401.3 kg/s

Explanation:

The power plant has an efficiency of 36%. This means 64% of the heat form the source (q1) will become waste heat. Of the waste heat, 85% will be taken away by water (qw).

qw = 0.85 * q2

q2 = 0.64 * q1

p = 0.36 * q1

q1 = p /0.36

q2 = 0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * p

qw = 0.85 *0.64/0.36 * 600 = 907 MW

In evaporation water becomes vapor absorbing heat without going to the boiling point (similar to how sweating takes heat from the human body)

The latent heat for the vaporization of water is:

SLH = 2.26 MJ/kg

So, to dissipate 907 MW

G = qw * SLH = 907 / 2.26 = 401.3 kg/s
