Answer:
Final mass of Argon= 2.46 kg
Explanation:
Initial mass of Argon gas ( M1 ) = 4 kg
P1 = 450 kPa
T1 = 30°C = 303 K
P2 = 200 kPa
k ( specific heat ratio of Argon ) = 1.667
assuming a reversible adiabatic process
<u>Calculate the value of the M2 </u>
Applying ideal gas equation ( PV = mRT )
P₁V / P₂V = m₁ RT₁ / m₂ RT₂
hence : m2 = P₂T₁ / P₁T₂ * m₁
= (200 * 303 ) / (450 * 219 ) * 4
= 2.46 kg
<em>Note: Calculation for T2 is attached below</em>
Given Information:
Initial temperature of aluminum block = 26.5°C
Heat flux = 4000 w/m²
Time = 2112 seconds
Time = 30 minutes = 30*60 = 1800 seconds
Required Information:
Rise in surface temperature = ?
Answer:
Rise in surface temperature = 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds
Rise in surface temperature = 8 °C after 30 minutes
Explanation:
The surface temperature of the aluminum block is given by
Where q is the heat flux supplied to aluminum block, k is the conductivity of pure aluminum and α is the diffusivity of pure aluminum.
After t = 2112 sec:
The rise in the surface temperature is
Rise = 35.1 - 26.5 = 8.6 °C
Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds.
After t = 30 mins:
The rise in the surface temperature is
Rise = 34.5 - 26.5 = 8 °C
Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8 °C after 30 minutes.
