Calculate the heat flux (in W/m^2) through a sheet of a metal 14 mm thick if the temperatures at the two faces are 350 and 140°C
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of conductive heat transfer in watts is:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

where k is the heat conductivity, s is the thickness, A is the area, and ΔT is the temperature difference.

a)

Given k = 52.4 W/m/K, s = 0.014 m, and ΔT = 350-140 = 210 K, we can find q/A:

q/A = (52.4 / 0.014) (210)

q/A = 786,000 W/m²

b)

Given that A = 0.42 m², we can find q:

q = (0.42 m²) (786,000 W/m²)

q = 330,120 W

A watt is a Joule per second.  Convert to Joules per hour:

q = 330,120 J/s * 3600 s/hr

q = 1.19×10⁹ J/hr

c)

If we change k to 1.8 W/m/K:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

q = (1.8 / 0.014) (0.42) (210)

q = 11,340 J/s

q = 4.08×10⁷ J/hr

d)

If k is 52.4 W/m/K and s is 0.024 m:

q = (k/s) A ΔT

q = (52.4 / 0.024) (0.42) (210)

q = 192,570 J/s

q = 6.93×10⁸ J/hr

An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at +44 ft/s2. After some time t1,
mash [69]

Answer:

a) t₁ = 4.76 s, t₂ = 85.2 s

b) v = 209 ft/s

Explanation:

Constant acceleration equations:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

v = at + v₀

where x is final position,

x₀ is initial position,

v₀ is initial velocity,

a is acceleration,

and t is time.

When the engine is on and the sled is accelerating:

x₀ = 0 ft

v₀ = 0 ft/s

a = 44 ft/s²

t = t₁

So:

x = 22 t₁²

v = 44 t₁

When the engine is off and the sled is coasting:

x = 18350 ft

x₀ = 22 t₁²

v₀ = 44 t₁

a = 0 ft/s²

t = t₂

So:

18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) t₂

Given that t₁ + t₂ = 90:

18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) (90 − t₁)

Now we can solve for t₁:

18350 = 22 t₁² + 3960 t₁ − 44 t₁²

18350 = 3960 t₁ − 22 t₁²

9175 = 1980 t₁ − 11 t₁²

11 t₁² − 1980 t₁ + 9175 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

t₁ = [ 1980 ± √(1980² - 4(11)(9175)) ] / 22

t₁ = 4.76, 175

Since t₁ can't be greater than 90, t₁ = 4.76 s.

Therefore, t₂ = 85.2 s.

And v = 44 t₁ = 209 ft/s.

Explain the difference between the terms "rotation" and "revolution"
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.
