The components of an electronic system dissipating 180 W are located in a 1-m-long horizontal duct whose cross section is 16 cm

oee [108]

Answer:

a) The exit temperature is 39.25°C

b) The highest component surface is 132.22°C

c) The average temperature for air equal to 35°C is a good assumption because the air temperature at the inlet will increase due to the result in the heat gain produced by the duct and whose surface is exposed to a flow of hot.

Explanation:

a) The properties of the air at 35°C:

p = density = 1.145 kg/m³

v = 1.655x10⁻⁵m²/s

k = 0.02625 W/m°C

Pr = 0.7268

cp = 1007 J/kg°C

a) The mass flow rate of air is equal to:

$m=\rho *V = 1.145*0.65=0.7443kg/min=0.0124kg/s$

The exit temperature is:

$T=T_{i} +\frac{Q}{m*c_{p} } =27+\frac{0.85*180}{0.0124*1007} =39.25$ °C

b) The mean fluid velocity is:

$V_{m} =\frac{V}{A} =\frac{0.65}{0.16*0.16} =25.4m/min=0.4232m/s$

The hydraulic diameter is:

$D_{h} =\frac{4A}{p} =\frac{4*0.16*0.16}{4*0.16} =0.16m$

The Reynold´s number is:

$Re=\frac{VD_{h} }{v} =\frac{0.4232*0.16}{1.655x10^{-5} } =4091.36$

Assuming fully developed turbulent flow, the Nusselt number is:

$Nu=0.023Re^{0.8} *Pr^{0.4} =0.023*4091.36^{0.8} *0.7268^{0.4} =15.69$

$h=\frac{k*Nu}{D_{h} } =\frac{0.02625*15.69}{0.16} =2.57W/m^{2} C$

The highest component surface temperature is:

$T=T_{e} +\frac{\frac{Q}{A} }{h} =39.2+\frac{0.85*\frac{180}{4*0.16*1} }{2.57} =132.22$ °C

2.11 Consider a 400 mm × 400 mm window in an aircraft. For a temperature difference of 90°C from the inner to the outer surface

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The heat loss rate through one of the windows made of polycarbonate is 252W. If the window is made of aerogel, the heat loss rate is 16.8W. If the window is made of soda-lime glass, the heat loss rate is 1190.4W.

The cost associated with the heat loss through the windows for an 8-hour flight is:

For aerogel windows: $17.472 (most efficient)

For polycarbonate windows: $262.08

For soda-lime glass windows: $1,238.016 (least efficient)

Explanation:

To calculate the heat loss rate through the window, we can use a model of heat transmission by conduction throw flat wall. Using unidimensional Fourier law:

$\frac{dQ}{dt}=\dot Q =-kS\nabla \vec{T}$

In this case:

$\dot Q =k\frac{S}{L} \Delta T$

If we replace the data provided by the problem we get the heat loss rate through one of the windows of each material (we only have to change the thermal conductivities).

To obtain the thermal conductivity of the soda-lime glass we use the graphic attached to this answer (In this case for soda-lime glass k₃₀₀=0.992w/m·K).

To calculate the cost associated with the heat loss through the windows for an 8-hour flight we use this formula (using the heat loss rate calculated in each case):

$Cost=C_{hc}\cdot \dot Q \cdot t \cdot n=1\frac{\$}{Kwh} \cdot \dot Q \cdot 8h \cdot 130$

Consider two different types of motors. Motor A has a characteristic life of 4100 hours (based on a MTTF of 4650 hours) and a sh

Daniel [21]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

For motor A

Characteristic life(r)=4100 hr

MTTF=4650 hrs

shape factor(B )=0.8

For motor B

Characteristic life(r)=336 hr

MTTF=300 hr

Shape Factor (B)=3

Reliability for 100 hours

$R_a=e^{-\left ( \frac{T-r}{n}\right )B}$

$R_a=e^{-\left ( \frac{4650-4100}{100}\right )0.8}$

$R_a=e^{-4.4}=0.01227$

For B

$R_b=e^{-\left ( \frac{300-336}{100}\right )3}$

$R_b=e^{1.08}=2.944$

B is better for 100 hours

(b)For 750 hours

$R_a=e^{-0.5866}=0.55621$

$R_b=e^{0.144}=1.154$

So here B is more Reliable.

To compute the energy used by a motor, multiply the power that it draws by the time of operation. Con- sider a motor that draws

ehidna [41]

Answer:

E=52000Hp.h

E=38724920Wh

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must multiply the engine power by the time factor expressed in h / year, to find this value you must perform the conventional unit conversion procedure.

Finally, when you have the result Hp h / year you convert it to Ftlb and Wh

$E=(12.5hp)(\frac{16h}{day} )(\frac{5 days}{week} )(\frac{52week}{year} )\\$

E=52000Hp.h

$E=52000Hp.h(\frac{744.71Wh}{Hp.h} )\\$

E=38724920Wh

$E=52000Hph(\frac{1977378.4 ft lb}{1Hph}$

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb
