Air, at a free-stream temperature of 27.0°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, flows over the top surface of a flat plate in parallel f

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

V = 12.5m/s

L= 2.70m

b= 0.65m

$T_{ \infty} = 27^0C= 273+27 = 300K$

$T_s= 127^0C = (127+273)= 400K$

P = 1atm

Film temperature

$T_f = \frac{T_s + T_{\infty}}{2} \\\\=\frac{400+300}{2} \\\\=350K$

dynamic viscosity =

$\mu =20.9096\times 10^{-6} m^2/sec$

density = 0.9946kg/m³

Pr = 0.708564

K= 229.7984 * 10⁻³w/mk

Reynolds number,

$Re = \frac{SUD}{\mu} =\frac{\ SUl}{\mu}$

$=\frac{0.9946 \times 12.5\times 2.7}{20.9096\times 10^-^6} \\\\Re=1605375.043$

we have,

$Nu=\frac{hL}{k} =0.037Re^{4/5}Pr^{1/3}\\\\\frac{h\times2.7}{29.79\times 10^-63} =0.037(1605375.043)^{4/5}(0.7085)^{1/3}\\\\h=33.53w/m^2k$

we have,

heat transfer rate from top plate

$\theta _1 =hA(T_s-T_{\infty})\\\\A=Lb\\\\=2.7*0.655\\\\ \theta_1=33.53*2.7*0.65(127/27)\\\\ \theta_1=5884.51w$

A Si sample contains 1016 cm-3 In acceptor atoms and a certain number of shallow donors, the In acceptor level is 0.16 eV above

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

6.5 × 10¹⁵/ cm³

Explanation:

Thinking process:

The relation $N_{o} = N_{i} * \frac{E_{f}-E_{i} }{KT}$

With the expression Ef - Ei = 0.36 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

and ni = 1.5 × 10¹⁰

Temperature, T = 300 K

K = 1.38 × 10⁻²³

This generates N₀ = 1.654 × 10¹⁶ per cube

Now, there are 10¹⁶ per cubic centimeter

Hence, $N_{d} = 1.65*10^{16} - 10^{16} \\ = 6.5 * 10^{15} per cm cube$

) A brick of clay is being dried in a batch dryer using constant drying conditions. You have been asked to determine the amount

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The drying time is calculated as shown

Explanation:

Data:

Let the moisture content be = 0.6

the free moisture content be = 0.08

total moisture of the clay = 0.64

total drying time for the period = 8 hrs

then if the final dry and wet masses are calculated, it follows that

t = (X0+ Xc)/Rc) + (Xc/Rc)* ln (Xc/X)

= 31.3 min.
