Air is to be heated steadily by an 8-kW electric resistance heater as it flows through an insulated duct. If the air enters at 5

Furkat [3]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the heat exchange of a body.

By definition heat exchange in terms of mass flow can be expressed as

$W = \dot{m}c_p \Delta T$

Where

$C_p =$ Specific heat

$\dot{m}$ = Mass flow rate

$\Delta T$ = Change in Temperature

Our values are given as

$C_p = 1.005kJ/kgK \rightarrow$ Specific heat of air

$T_1 = 50\°C$

$\dot{m} = 2kg/s$

$W = 8kW$

From our equation we have that

$W = \dot{m}c_p \Delta T$

$W = \dot{m}c_p (T_2-T_1)$

Rearrange to find $T_2$

$T_2 = \frac{W}{\dot{m}c_p}+T_1$

Replacing

$T_2 = \frac{8}{2*1.005}+(50+273)$

$T_2 = 326.98K \approx 53.98\°C$

Therefore the exit temperature of air is 53.98°C

Which process is a from of mechanical weathering

alekssr [168]

Ice. The formation of ice in the myriad of tiny cracks and joints in a rock's surface slowly pries it apart over thousands of years. Frost wedging results when the formation of ice widens and deepens the cracks, breaking off pieces and slabs. Frost wedging is most effective in those climates that have many cycles of freezing and thawing. Frost heaving is the process by which rocks are lifted vertically from soil by the formation of ice. Water freezes first under rock fragments and boulders in the soil; the repeated freezing and thawing of ice gradually pushes the rocks to the surface.
