Explanation:
<u>(a)</u>
<u>The measure of material's ability to conduct thermal energy (heat) is known as thermal conductivity.</u> For examples, metals have high thermal conductivity, it means that they are very efficient at conducting heat.<u> The SI unit of heat capacity is W/m.K.</u>
The expression for thermal conductivity is:
Where,
q is the heat flux
is the thermal conductivity
is the temperature gradient.
<u>(b)</u>
<u>Heat capacity for a substance is defined as the ratio of the amount of energy required to change the temperature of the substance and the magnitude of temperature change. The SI unit of heat capacity is J/K.</u>
The expression for Heat capacity is:
Where,
C is the Heat capacity
E is the energy absorbed/released
is the change in temperature
<u>(c)</u>
<u>Thermal diffusivity is defined as the thermal conductivity divided by specific heat capacity at constant pressure and its density. The Si unit of thermal diffusivity is m²/s.</u>
The expression for thermal diffusivity is:
Where,
is thermal diffusivity
is the thermal conductivity
is specific heat capacity at constant pressure
is density

<h2>Generator </h2>
Explanation:
A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
Answer:
a) 53 MPa, 14.87 degree
b) 60.5 MPa
Average shear = -7.5 MPa
Explanation:
Given
A = 45
B = -60
C = 30
a) stress P1 = (A+B)/2 + Sqrt ({(A-B)/2}^2 + C)
Substituting the given values, we get -
P1 = (45-60)/2 + Sqrt ({(45-(-60))/2}^2 + 30)
P1 = 53 MPa
Likewise P2 = (A+B)/2 - Sqrt ({(A-B)/2}^2 + C)
Substituting the given values, we get -
P1 = (45-60)/2 - Sqrt ({(45-(-60))/2}^2 + 30)
P1 = -68 MPa
Tan 2a = C/{(A-B)/2}
Tan 2a = 30/(45+60)/2
a = 14.87 degree
Principal stress
p1 = (45+60)/2 + (45-60)/2 cos 2a + 30 sin2a = 53 MPa
b) Shear stress in plane
Sqrt ({(45-(-60))/2}^2 + 30) = 60.5 MPa
Average = (45-(-60))/2 = -7.5 MPa
Drip irrigation
Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient types of irrigation systems. The efficiency of applied and lost water as well as meeting the crop water need ranges from 80% to 90%
Answer:
I. Tension (cable A) ≈ 6939 lbf
II. Tension (cable B) ≈ 17199 lbf
Explanation:
Let's begin by listing out the data that we were given:
mass of beam (m) = 570 lb, deceleration (cable A) = -20 ft/s², deceleration (cable B) = -2 ft/s²,
g = 32.17405 ft/s²
The tension on an object is given by the product of mass of the object by gravitational force plus/minus the product of mass by acceleration.
Mathematically represented thus:
T = mg + ma
where:
T = tension, m = mass, g = gravitational force,
a = acceleration
I. For Cable A, we have:
T = mg + ma = (570 * 32.17405) + [570 * (-20)]
T = 18339.2085 - 11400 = 6939.2085
T ≈ 6939 lbf
II. For Cable B, we have:
T = mg + ma = (570 * 32.17405) + [570 * (-2)]
T = 18339.2085 - 1140 = 17199.2085
T ≈ 17199 lbf
