Define the terms (a) thermal conductivity, (b) heat capacity and (c) thermal diffusivity

IceJOKER [234]

Explanation:

(a)

The measure of material's ability to conduct thermal energy (heat) is known as thermal conductivity. For examples, metals have high thermal conductivity, it means that they are very efficient at conducting heat. The SI unit of heat capacity is W/m.K.

The expression for thermal conductivity is:

$q=-\kappa \bigtriangledown T$

Where,

q is the heat flux

$\kappa$ is the thermal conductivity

$\bigtriangledown T$ is the temperature gradient.

(b)

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.

The expression for Heat capacity is:

$C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}$

Where,

C is the Heat capacity

E is the energy absorbed/released

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

(c)

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.

The expression for thermal diffusivity is:

$\alpha=\frac{\kappa}{C_p \times \rho}$

Where,

$\alpha$ is thermal diffusivity

$\kappa$ is the thermal conductivity

$C_p$ is specific heat capacity at constant pressure

$\rho$ is density

A tank with a volume of 8 m3 containing 4 m3 of 20% (by volume) NaOH solution is to be purged by adding pure water at a rate of

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The time necessary to purge 95% of the NaOH is 0.38 h

Explanation:

Given:

vfpure water(i) = 3 m³/h

vNaOH = 4 m³

xNaOH = 0.2

vfpure water(f) = 2 m³/h

pwater = 1000 kg/m³

pNaOH = 1220 kg/m³

The mass flow rate of the water is = 3 * 1000 = 3000 kg/h

The mass of NaOH in the solution is = 0.2 * 4 * 1220 = 976 kg

When the 95% of the NaOH is purged, thus the NaOH in outlet is = 0.95 * 976 = 927.2 kg

The volume of NaOH in outlet after time is = 927.2/1220 = 0.76 m³

The time required to purge the 95% of the NaOH is = 0.76/2 = 0.38 h

What are supercapacitors ?

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

A supercapacitor, also called an ultracapacitor, is a high-capacity capacitor with a capacitance value much higher than other capacitors, but with lower voltage limits, that bridges the gap between electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries.

Please help me with this. Plzzz.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

450,000m = 450km = 4.5E5

32,600,000W = 32.6MW = 3.26E7

59,700,000,000cal = 59.7Gcal = 5.97E10

0.000000083s = 83ns = 8.3E-8

35,000Ω = 35kΩ = 3.5E4

Explanation:

Giga = 1,000,000,000

Mega = 1,000,000

kilo = 1,000

unit = 1

deci = .1

centi = .01

milli = .001

micro = .000001

nano = .0000000001

pico = .000000000001

You should be able to look at these and convert between them in seconds if you want to pursue anything in engineering.
