Water is boiled in a pot covered with a loosely fitting lid at a location where the pressure is 85.4 kPa. A 2.61 kW resistance h
1 answer:
Answer:
t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h
Explanation:
The energy provided by the resistance heater must be equal to the energy required to boil the water:
E = ΔQ
ηPt = mH
where.
η = efficiency = 84.5 % = 0.845
P = Power = 2.61 KW = 2610 W
t = time = ?
m = mass of water = 6.03 kg
H = Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg
Therefore,
(0.845)(2610 W)t = (6.03 kg)(2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg)
<u>t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h</u>

Answer: maximum length of the nanowire is 510 nm
Explanation:
From the table of 'Thermo physical properties of selected nonmetallic solids at At T = 1500 K
Thermal conductivity of silicon carbide k = 30 W/m.K
Diameter of silicon carbide nanowire, D = 15 x 10⁻⁹ m
lets consider the equation for the value of m
m = ( (hP/kAc)^1/2 ) = ( (4h/kD)^1/2 )
m = ( ((4 × 10⁵)/(30×15×10⁻⁹ ))^1/2 ) = 942809.04
now lets find the value of h/mk
h/mk = 10⁵ / ( 942809.04 × 30) = 0.00353
lets consider the value θ/θb by using the equation
θ/θb = (T - T∞) / (T - T∞)
θ/θb = (3000 - 8000) / (2400 - 8000)
= 0.893
the temperature distribution at steady-state is expressed as;
θ/θb = [ cosh m(L - x) + ( h/mk) sinh m (L - x)] / [cosh mL+ (h/mk) sinh mL]
θ/θb = [ cosh m(L - L) + ( h/mk) sinh m (L - L)] / [cosh mL+ (h/mk) sinh mL]
θ/θb = [ 1 ] / [cosh mL+ (h/mk) sinh mL]
so we substitute
0.893 = [ 1 ] / [cosh (942809.04 × L) + (0.00353) sinh (942809.04 × L)]
L = 510 × 10⁻⁹m
L = 510 nm
therefore maximum length of the nanowire is 510 nm
