Answer:

Resistance of copper = 1.54 * 10^18 Ohms

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Length of copper, L = 3 kilometers to meters = 3 * 1000 = 3000 m

Resistivity, P = 1.7 * 10^8 Ωm

Diameter = 0.65 millimeters to meters = 0.65/1000 = 0.00065 m

$Radius, r = \frac {diameter}{2}$

$Radius = \frac {0.00065}{2}$

Radius = 0.000325 m

To find the resistance;

Mathematically, resistance is given by the formula;

$Resistance = P \frac {L}{A}$

Where;

P is the resistivity of the material.
L is the length of the material.
A is the cross-sectional area of the material.

First of all, we would find the cross-sectional area of copper.

Area of circle = πr²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area = 3.142 * (0.000325)²

Area = 3.142 * 1.05625 × 10^-7

Area = 3.32 × 10^-7 m²

Now, to find the resistance of copper;

$Resistance = 1.7 * 10^{8} \frac {3000}{3.32 * 10^{-7}}$

$Resistance = 1.7 * 10^{8} * 903614.46$

<em>Resistance = 1.54 * 10^18 Ohms </em>

A plane wall of thickness 0.1 m and thermal conductivity 25 W/m·K having uniform volumetric heat generation of 0.3 MW/m3 is insu

Contact [7]

Answer:

T = 167 ° C

Explanation:

To solve the question we have the following known variables

Type of surface = plane wall ,

Thermal conductivity k = 25.0 W/m·K,

Thickness L = 0.1 m,

Heat generation rate q' = 0.300 MW/m³,

Heat transfer coefficient hc = 400 W/m² ·K,

Ambient temperature T∞ = 32.0 °C

We are to determine the maximum temperature in the wall

Assumptions for the calculation are as follows

Negligible heat loss through the insulation
Steady state system
One dimensional conduction across the wall

Therefore by the one dimensional conduction equation we have

$k\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } +q'_{G} = \rho c\frac{dT}{dt}$

During steady state

$\frac{dT}{dt}$ = 0 which gives $k\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } +q'_{G} = 0$

From which we have $\frac{d^{2}T }{dx^{2} } = -\frac{q'_{G}}{k}$

Considering the boundary condition at x =0 where there is no heat loss

$\frac{dT}{dt}$ = 0 also at the other end of the plane wall we have

$-k\frac{dT }{dx } =$ hc (T - T∞) at point x = L

Integrating the equation we have

$\frac{dT }{dx } = \frac{q'_{G}}{k} x+ C_{1}$ from which C₁ is evaluated from the first boundary condition thus

0 = $\frac{q'_{G}}{k} (0)+ C_{1}$ from which C₁ = 0

From the second integration we have

$T = -\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} x^{2} + C_{2}$

From which we can solve for C₂ by substituting the T and the first derivative into the second boundary condition s follows

$-k\frac{q'_{G}L}{k} = h_{c}( -\frac{q'_{G}L^{2} }{k} + C_{2}-T∞)$ → C₂ = $q'_{G}L(\frac{1}{h_{c} }+ \frac{L}{2k} } )+T∞$

T(x) = $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} x^{2} + q'_{G}L(\frac{1}{h_{c} }+ \frac{L}{2k} } )+T∞$ and T(x) = T∞ + $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} (L^{2}+(\frac{2kL}{h_{c} }} )-x^{2} )$

∴ Tmax → when x = 0 = T∞ + $\frac{q'_{G}}{2k} (L^{2}+(\frac{2kL}{h_{c} }} ))$

Substituting the values we get

T = 167 ° C

A formal indication from a state, on letterhead, or an official state form, that shows the applicant has valid driving privilege

alex41 [277]

A formal indication from a state, on letterhead, or an official state form, which shows that an applicant has valid driving privileges and is clear to apply for a Colorado driver's license is called a clearance.

<h3>What is a learner's license?</h3>

A learner's license is also referred to as learner's permit and it can be defined as a category of driver's license that is issued to an individual who is learning how to drive an automobile vehicle (car).

<h3>What is a license?</h3>

A license is also referred to as a certificate and it can be defined as an authorization that is typically issued by state governments to a driver, so as to avail him or her the legal ability to physically driver in all the states across a country.

In this scenario, we can infer and logically deduce that a clearance is a formal indication from a state which shows and affirms that an applicant has valid driving privileges, and is permitted to apply for a Colorado driver's license.
