The temperature of a flowing gas is to be measured with a thermocouple junction and wire stretched between two legs of a sting,

a wind tunnel test fixture. The junction is formed by butt-welding two wires of different material. For wires of diameter D = 125 m and a convection coefficient of h = 700 W/m^2 K, determine the minimum separation distance between the two legs of the sting, L=L1+L2, to ensure that the sting temperature does not influence the junction temperature and, in turn, invalidate the gas temperature measurement. Consider two different types of thermocouple junctions consisting of (i) copper and constantan wires and (ii) chromel and aluminel wires. Evaluate the thermal conductivity of copper and constantan at T300 K. Use kCh =19 W/mK and kA = l29 W/mK for the thermal conductivities of the chromel and alumel wires, respectively.

Answer:

minimum separation distance between the two legs of the sting L = L 1 + L 2 therefore L = 9.48 + 4.68 = 14.16 m

L = 1.14 m

Explanation:

D ( diameter ) = 125 m

convection coefficient of h = 700 W/m^2

Calculate THE CROSS SECTIONAL AREA

Ac = $\frac{\pi }{4} * D^2$ = $\frac{\pi }{4} * ( 125 )^2$ = 0.79 * 15625 = 12343.75 m^2

perimeter

p = $\pi * D$ = 3.14 * 125 = 392.5 m

at 300k temperature the thermal conductivity of copper and constantan from the thermodynamic property table are :

Kcu = 401 w/m.k

Kconstantan = 23 W/m.k

To calculate the length of copper wire of the thermocouple junction

L 1 = 4.6 ( $\frac{Kcv Ac}{h P}$ ) ^ 1/2 = 4.6 $(\frac{401 *12343.75 }{700 *392.5})^\frac{1}{2}$

L 1 = 4.6 ( 4949843.75 / 274750 )^1/2

L 1 = 9.48 m

calculate length of constantan wire

L 2 = 4.6 $(\frac{kcons*Ac}{hp} )^\frac{1}{2}$

= 4.6 ( (23 * 12343.75) / ( 700 * 392.5) ) ^1/2

L 2 = 4.6 ( 283906.25 / 274750 ) ^ 1/2

L 2 = 4.68 m

I) therefore the minimum separation distance between the two legs of the sting L = L 1 + L 2

L = 9.48 + 4.68 = 14.16 m

ii) Evaluating the thermal conductivity of copper and constantan

Kc ( thermal conductivity of chromel) = 19 w/m.k

Ka ( thermal conductivity of alumel ) = 29 W/m.k

distance between the legs L = L 1 + L 2

THEREFORE

L = 4.6 ( (Kcn * Ac ) / ( hp ) )^1/2 + 4.6 ( (Kac * Ac)/(hp) )^1/2

L = 4.6 $(\frac{Ac}{hp} )^\frac{1}{2} [ (Kcn)^\frac{1}{2} + (Kal)^\frac{1}{2} ]$

L = 4.6 ( 12343.75 /( 700 * 392.5) )^1/2 * [ 19^1/2 + 29^1/2 ]

L = 4.6 ( 12343.75 / 274750 ) ^1/2 * 5.39

L = 1.14 m

Elden [556K]

Answer:

In a work site with more than one set of management and workers the Health and safety officers in each set should have access to the information, training and controls needed to avoid workplace accidents

Explanation:

The primary aim of a health and safety officer in a workplace is to prevent accidents,injuries and work-related sickness from occurring in the work site by creating and implementing health and safety policies according to international standards and also ensure that these policies are implemented by the sets of management and workers/staffs of the work site. to achieve these they therefore should have access to the information,training and controls needed to avoid workplace accidents

Why can you anodise Aluminium and Magnesium alloys?

Anastasy [175]

Explanation:

Anodizing :

Anodizing is the surface protection process from the environment.As we know that due to external environment surfaces get corrodes .By using anodizing process the outer surface of material coated by using different type of coating material.

As the name stand that in the anodizing process there will be anode and oxygen.in this process oxidation of material take place .

Oxides of aluminium and magnesium are stable that is why they anodized by this process.

You want a potof water to boil at 105 celcius. How heavy a

ankoles [38]

Answer:

35.7 kg lid we put

Explanation:

given data

temperature = 105 celcius

diameter = 15 cm

Patm = 101 kPa

to find out

How heavy a lid should you put

solution

we know Psaturated from table for temperature is 105 celcius is

Psat = 120.8 kPa

so

area will be here

area = $\frac{\pi }{4} d^2$ ..................1

here d is diameter

put the value in equation 1

area = $\frac{\pi }{4} 0.15^2$

area = 0.01767 m²

so net force is

Fnet = ( Psat - Patm ) × area

Fnet = ( 120.8 - 101 ) × 0.01767

Fnet = 0.3498 KN = 350 N

we know

Fnet = mg

mass = $\frac{Fnet}{g}$

mass = $\frac{350}{9.8}$

mass = 35.7 kg

so 35.7 kg lid we put

With a very precise volumetric measuring device, the volume of a liquid sample is determined to be 6.321 L (liters). Three stude

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Three students measure the volume of a liquid sample which is 6.321 L.

- Each student measured the liquid sample 4 times. The data is provided for each measurement taken by each student as follows:

Students

Trial A B C

1 6.35 6.31 6.38

2 6.32 6.31 6.32

3 6.33 6.32 6.36

4 6.36 6.35 6.36

- We will define the two terms stated in the question " precision " and "accuracy"

- Precision refers to how close the values are to the sample mean. The dense cluster of data is termed to be more precise. We will use the knowledge of statistics and determine the sample standard deviation for each student.

- The mean measurement taken by each student would be as follows:

$E ( A ) = \frac{6.35 +6.32+6.33+6.36}{4} \\\\E ( A ) = 6.34\\\\E ( B ) = \frac{6.31 +6.31+6.32+6.35}{4} \\\\E ( B ) = 6.3225\\\\E ( C ) = \frac{6.38 +6.32+6.36+6.36}{4} \\\\E ( C ) = 6.355\\$

- The precision can be quantize in terms of variance or standard deviation of data. Therefore, we will calculate the variance of each data:

$Var ( A ) = \frac{6.35^2+6.32^2+6.33^2+6.36^2}{4} - 6.34^2\\\\Var ( A ) = 0.00025\\\\Var ( B ) = \frac{6.31^2+6.31^2+6.32^2+6.35^2}{4} - 6.3225^2\\\\Var ( B ) = 0.00026875\\\\Var ( C ) = \frac{6.38^2+6.32^2+6.36^2+6.36^2}{4} - 6.355^2\\\\Var ( C ) = 0.000475\\$

- We will rank each student sample data in term sof precision by using the values of variance. The smallest spread or variance corresponds to highest precision. So we have:

Var ( A ) < Var ( B ) < Var ( C )

most precise Least precise

- Accuracy refers to how close the sample mean is to the actual data value. Where the actual volume of the liquid specimen was given to be 6.321 L. We will evaluate the percentage difference of sample values obtained by each student .

$P ( A ) = \frac{6.34-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.30058\\\\P ( B ) = \frac{6.3225-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.02373\\\\P ( C ) = \frac{6.355-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.53788\\$

- Now we will rank the sample means values obtained by each student relative to the actual value of the volume of liquid specimen with the help of percentage difference calculated above. The least percentage difference corresponds to the highest accuracy as follows:

P ( B ) < P ( A ) < P ( C )

most accurate least accurate
