The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17 C and

10 C at the top and bottom surfaces, respectively. If the concrete has a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m K, what is the rate of heat loss through the slab

Answer:

Q = - 4312 W = - 4.312 KW

Explanation:

The rate of heat of the concrete slab can be calculated through Fourier's Law of heat conduction. The formula of the Fourier's Law of heat conduction is as follows:

Q = - kA dt/dx

Integrating from one side of the slab to other along the thickness dimension, we get:

Q = - kA(T₂ - T₁)/L

Q = kA(T₁ - T₂)/t

where,

Q = Rate of Heat Loss = ?

k = thermal conductivity = 1.4 W/m.k

A = Surface Area = (11 m)(8 m) = 88 m²

T₁ = Temperature of Bottom Surface = 10°C

T₂ = Temperature of Top Surface = 17° C

t = Thickness of Slab = 0.2 m

Therefore,

Q = (1.4 W/m.k)(88 m²)(10°C - 17°C)/0.2 m

<u>Q = - 4312 W = - 4.312 KW</u>

<u>Here, negative sign shows the loss of heat.</u>

A bus travelled 160 km in 4 hours, another bus travelled 175 km in 5 hours, which bus moved faster? ​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Answer:

Bus travels 160 km in 4 hours

Speed of bus = 160/4 = 40 km/hr

Train travels 320 km in 5 hours

Speed of train = 320/5 = 64 km/hr

In one hour, bus travels 40 km and train travels 64 km.

Ratio = 40:64 = 5:8

We decided to make an iced latte by adding ice to a 200 mL hot latte at 45 °C. The ice starts out at 0 C. How much ice do we nee
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

m = 77.75 g

Explanation:

Here we know that at equilibrium the temperature of the system will be 10 degree C

so heat given by hot latte = heat absorbed by the ice

now we have

heat given by latte = m s\Delta T

Q_1 = (200)(4.186)(45 - 10)

Q_1 = 29302 J

now heat absorbed by ice is given as

Q_2 = mL + ms\Delta T

Q_2 = m(335 + 4.186(10 - 0))

Q_2 = m(376.86)

now by heat balance we have

Q_1 = Q_2

29302 = m(376.86)

m = 77.75 g
