The ground temperature a few meters below the surface is fairly constant throughout the year and is near the average value of th

e air temperature. In areas in which the air temperature drops very low in the winter, the exterior unit of a heat pump designed for heating is sometimes buried underground in order to use the earth as a thermal reservoir.Why is it worthwhile to bury the heat exchanger, even if the underground unit costs more to purchase and install than one above ground?

Since the Earth contains a constant temperature range heat exchangers can be built underground without other added expenses yes they are expensive to put underground but the pay off is greater long term wise since the heat rises it can be said you could put a heatpump in a small area and it can over time increase the relative heat in that area of effect.

hope this helps look into, heat displacement thru underground heating to get a clearer picture

Can i join three 12 volts batteriesto give me 24 volts output​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

If we connect batteries in series then the output voltage is the sum of the individual voltage of each battery i.e if you connect three 12 volts batteries in series then their output voltage will be 12+12+12=36 volts, but the current rating of the batteries in series will be same of the individual battery rating in 'mah'.

But when we connect the batteries in parallel their voltage is not added  but their current rating in mah is addition of their individual rating.

So, If you want 24 volts from three 12 volts battery then you can connect two of them in series and the other one in parallel with them this will give 24 volts and the current will be addition of the two series batteries and the third which is in parallel with them. You can use this configuration if current value is not a big factor.

A parallel circuit with two branches and an 18 volt battery. Resistor #1 on the first branch has a value of 220 ohms and resisto
likoan [24]

Answer:

  2.455 W

Explanation:

The power dissipated in each branch is ...

  P = V^2/R

So, the branch powers are ...

  branch 1: 18^2/220 ≈ 1.473 W

  branch 2: 18^2/330 ≈ 0.982 W

Total power is ...

  1.473 W + 0.982 W = 2.455 W

1. A cylindrical casting is 0.3 m in diameter and 0.5 m in length. Another casting has the same metal is rectangular in cross-se
Lorico [155]

Based on the Chvorinov's rule, the diference in the <em>solidification</em> times of the two castings is 14.092 times the <em>solidification</em> time of the prism casting.

<h3>How to apply the Chvorinov's rule for casting processes</h3>

The Chvorinov's rule is an empirical method to estimate the cooling time of a casting in terms of a <em>reference</em> time. This rule states that cooling time (<em>t</em>) is directly proportional to the square of the volume (<em>V</em>), in cubic meters, divided to the surface area (<em>A</em>), in square meters. Now we proceed to model each casting:

<h3>Cylindrical casting</h3>

t = C · [0.25π · D² · L/(0.5π · D² + π · D · L)]²

t = C · [0.25 · D · L/(0.5 · D + L)]²    (1)

<h3>Prism casting</h3>

t' = C · [3 · T² · L/(6 · T · L + 2 · T · L + 6 · T²)]²

t' = C · [3 · T · L/(8 · L + 6 · T)]²     (2)

<h3>Relationship between the cross sections of both castings</h3>

3 · T² = 0.25π · D²     (3)

Where:

  • <em>t</em> - Cooling time of the cylindrical casting, in time unit.
  • <em>t'</em> - Cooling time of the prism casting, in time unit.
  • <em>C</em> - Cooling factor, in time unit per square meter.
  • <em>D</em> - Diameter of the cylinder, in meters.
  • <em>L</em> - Length of the casting, in meters.
  • <em>T</em> - Width of the cross section of the prism casting, in meters.

If we know that <em>D =</em> <em>0.3 m</em>, then the thickness of the prism casting is:

T = \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{12} }\cdot D

<em>T ≈ 0.153 m</em>

<em />

And (1) and (2) simplified into these forms:

<h3>Cylindrical casting</h3>

t = C · {0.25π · (0.3 m) · (0.5 m)/[0.5 · (0.3 m) + 0.5 m]}²

t = 0.0329 · C     (1b)

<h3>Prism casting</h3>

t' = C · {3 · (0.153 m) · (0.5 m)/[8 · (0.5 m) + 6 · (0.153 m)]}²

t' = 0.00218 · C     (2b)

Lastly we find the <em>percentual</em> difference in the solidification times of the two castings by using the following expression:

<em>r = (</em>1 <em>- t'/t) ×</em> 100 %

<em>r = (</em>1 <em>-</em> 0.00218<em>/</em>0.0329<em>) ×</em> 100 %

<em>r =</em> 93.374 %

The <em>cooling</em> time of the <em>prism</em> casting is 6.626 % of the <em>solidification</em> time of the <em>cylindrical</em> casting. The diference in the <em>solidification</em> times of the two castings is 14.092 times the <em>solidification</em> time of the <em>prism</em> casting. \blacksquare
