Answer:

No

Explanation:

It is not permissible to install recessed fixture directly against wood ceiling joists when the label on the fixture does not indicate that it can be used for Insulation in contact with the recessed fixture .

Because The trim finishing and points of support of openings in finished surfaces are not allowed to be in contact with the combustible materials

A hair dryer is basically a duct of constant diameter in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

% increase = 26.32%

Explanation:

From conservation of mass, we can say that;

Mass flow rate at inlet = mass flow rate at exit.

Thus;

m'1 = m'2

Formula for mass flow rate is;

m' = ρV'

Where V' is volumetric flow rate = Av

Thus;

m' = ρAv

Where;

ρ is density

A is area

v is velocity

Therefore from m'1 = m'2, we can say that;

ρ1•A1•v1 = ρ2•A2•v2

Since the duct has a constant diameter, then A1 = A2

Thus, we now have;

ρ1•v1 = ρ2•v2

Making v2 the subject, we have;

v2 = ρ1•v1/ρ2

Now, since we want to find the percent increase in the velocity of the air as it flows through the dryer,we would use;

% increase = ((v2 - v1)/v1) × 100%

We have v2 = ρ1•v1/ρ2

Thus;

% increase = ((ρ1•v1/ρ2) - v1)/v1) × 100%

Factorizing v1 out, we have;

% increase = ((ρ1/ρ2) - 1)/1) × 100%

We are given;

ρ1 = 1.2 kg/m³

ρ2 = 0.95 kg/m³

Thus;

% increase = ((1.2/0.95) - 1)/1) × 100%

% increase = 26.32%

A thin aluminum sheet is placed between two very large parallel plates that are maintained at uniform temperatures T1 = 900 K, T
Maru [420]

The net radiation heat transfer between the two plates per unit surface area of the plates with shield and without shied are respectively; 2282.76 W/m² and 9766.75 W/m²

<h3>How to find the net radiation heat transfer?</h3>

We are given;

Temperature 1; T₁

Temperature 2; T₂

Temperature 3; T₃

Emissivity 1; ε₁ = 0.3

Emissivity 2; ε₂ = 0.7

Emissivity 3; ε₃ = 0.2

The net rate of radiation heat transfer with a thin aluminum shield per unit area of the plates with shield is;

Q'₁₂ = σ(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)]/[((1/ε₁) + (1/ε₂) - 1) + ((1/ε₃,₁) + (1/ε₃,₂) - 1)]

Q'₁₂ = 5.67 * 10⁻⁸(900⁴ - 300⁴)/[((1/0.3) + (1/0.7) - 1) + ((1/0.15) + (1/0.15) - 1)]

Q'₁₂,shield = 2282.76 W/m²

The net rate of radiation heat transfer with a thin aluminum shield per unit area of the plates with no shield is;

Q'₁₂,no shield = σ(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)]/((1/ε₁) + (1/ε₂) - 1))

Q'₁₂,no shield = 5.67 * 10⁻⁸(900⁴ - 300⁴)/[(1/0.3) + (1/0.7) - 1)]

Q'₁₂,no shield = 9766.75 W/m²

Then the ratio of radiation heat transfer for the two cases becomes;

Q'₁₂,shield/Q'₁₂,no shield = 2282.76/9766.75 = 0.2337 or 4/17

A rod that was originally 100-cm-long experiences a strain of 82%. What is the new length of the rod?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer: (b)

Explanation:

Given

Original length of the rod is L=100\ cm

Strain experienced is \epsilon=82\%=0.82

Strain is the ratio of the change in length to the original length

\Rightarrow \epsilon =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.82=\dfrac{\Delta L}{100}\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=82\ cm

Therefore, new length is given by (Considering the load is tensile in nature)

\Rightarrow L'=\Delta L+L\\\Rightarrow L'=82+100=182\ cm

Thus, option (b) is correct.

How does heat conduction differ from convection?
Helga [31]

Explanation:

Conduction:

     Heat transfer in the conduction occurs due to movement of molecule or we can say that due to movement of electrons in the two end of same the body. Generally,  phenomenon of conduction happens in the case of solid . In conduction heat transfer takes places due to direct contact of two bodies.

Convection:

              In convection heat transfer of fluid takes place due to density difference .In simple words we can say that heat transfer occur due to motion of fluid.
