Answer:

An adaptation is the physical or behavioural characteristic of an organism that helps an organism to survive better in the surrounding environment.

In engineering im assuming that an adaptation would just be an improved tool of sorts

pshichka [43]

Answer:

A)Q = 1208.33 W/m²

B)K = 0.138 W/m.K

Explanation:

We are given;

inside air temperature;T_∞,i =25 °C = 25 + 273 = 298K

outside air temperature;T_∞,o = -10°C = - 10 + 273 = 263K

Inner surface temperature;T_s,i = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288K

Thickness, L = 4mm = 0.004m

convection heat transfer coefficient ; hi = 25 W/(m².K)

A) From an energy balance at the inner surface and the thermal circuit, the electric power required per unit window area is given as;

Q = [(T_s,i - T_∞,o)/((L/k) + (1/hi))] - [(T_∞,o - T_s,i)/(1/hi)]

Plugging in the relevant values with k for glass as 1.4 W/m.k, we have;

Q = [(288 - 263)/((0.004/1.4) + (1/25))] - [(263 - 288)/(1/25)]

Q = 583.33 + 625

Q = 1208.33 W/m²

B) The formula for thermal conductivity is;

K = (QL)/(AΔT)

Where;

K is the thermal conductivity in W/m.K

Q is the amount of heat transferred through the material

L is the distance between the two isothermal planes

A is the area of the surface in square meters

ΔT is the difference in temperature in Kelvin

ΔT = 298K - 263K = 35K

Now, since we have value of heat per unit area to be Q = 1208.33 W/m², let's rearrange the equation to reflect that; Thus ;

k = (Q/A) x (L/ΔT)

K = 1208.33 x (0.004/35)

K = 0.138 W/m.K

The product second moment of area Ixy is found by multiplying Ix and Iy. a)True b)- False

Kamila [148]

Answer:

(b)False

Explanation:

$I_{xy}$ defined as

$I_{xy}$ = $\int \left (x\cdot y\right )dA$

Where x is the distance from centroidal x-axis

y is the distance from centroidal y-axis

dA is the elemental area.

The product of x and y can be positive or negative ,so the value of $I_{xy}$ can be positive as well as negative .

So from the above expressions we can say that the product of $I_{x},I_y$ is different from $I_{xy}$ .

Answer:

Fcte10 < Fcte01 = Fcte0 < Fctm11 < Fcte21 = Fctm21 < Fcte12 = Fctm12 < Fcte22

Explanation:

Assuming a = 2b

Attached below is the required steps to the solution

The cutoff frequencies for the first ten modes of a rectangular waveguide listed in ascending order is :

Fcte10 < Fcte01 = Fcte0 < Fctm11 < Fcte21 = Fctm21 < Fcte12 = Fctm12 < Fcte22
