The hot-wire anemometer.' A hot-wire anemome ter is essentially a fine wire, usually made of platinum,which is heated electrical
ly and inserted into a flowingfluid. The wire temperature, which is a function of the fluidtemperature, fluid velocity, and the rate of heating, may bedetermined by measuring its electrical resistance. It is used for measuring velocities and velocity fluctuations in flow systems. In this problem we analyze the temperature distribution in the wire element. We consider a wire of diameter D and length 2L supported at its ends (z = -L and z =+L) and mounted perpendicular to an air stream. An electric current of density I amp/cm^2 flows through the wire, and the heat thus generated is partially lost by convection to the air stream and partially by conduction toward the ends of the wire. Because of their size and their high electrical and thermal conductivity, the supports are not appreciably heated by the current, but remain at the temperature TL, which is the same as that of the approaching air stream. Heat loss by radiation is to be neglected. Required:
Derive an equation for the steady-state temperature distribution in the wire, assuming that T depends on z alone.
dislocations play an important role in controlling as
Explanation:
As dislocations plays an important role in the ductility, elasticity and plurality of materials
The elastic and elastic deflections play a large role in their properties as the metallic materials, because the dislocation of a glass material does not play a major role in their properties.
