Answer: True

Explanation:

Structural engineering is simply referred to as a branch of civil engineering, and they help in the designing of structures like buildings, dams, tunnels, bridges, tunnels, etc. Structural engineers typically work as consultants.

Wireless sensor networks are used by structural engineers to monitor the condition of dams and bridges. Wireless sensor network refers are dedicated sensors that are used in monitoring the physical conditions of the bridges and to know if they're still in good conditions.

(35-39) A student travels on a school bus in the middle of winter from home to school. The school bus temperature is 68.0° F. Th

arlik [135]

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’s the difference between quality and quantity

Lesechka [4]

Quality is how good something is. Like how good the material is. Like the quality of the IPhone X is better than the quality of the iPhone 6s + because it has more features and can sustain better hold
Quantity is how much. Like the quantity of the m&ms were split evenly.
I dont know exactly if that makes sense but there ya go
YW!
