Answer:

a) Friction factor for this duct = 0.0239

b) ε = 0.006 ft

Explanation:

Given data :

Flow rate = 11000 ft^3 /min

Pressure drop = 1.2 in per 1500 ft of duct

<u>a) Determine the value of the friction factor for this duct</u>

Friction factor for this duct = 0.0239

<u>b) Determine the approximate size of the equivalent roughness of the surface of the duct</u>

ε = 0.006 ft

attached below is the detailed solution to the given problem

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Assumptions.

1. The surfaces are diffuse, may and opaque

2. steady operating conditions exist

3. Heat transfer from and to the surfaces is only due to Radiation

Consider the base surface to be surface 2 the top surface to be surface and the side surfaces to surface 3 1. cubical furnace can be considered to be three-surface enclosure. the areas and black body emissive powers of surfaces can be calculated as seen in the attached images below.

The heat flux through a 1-mm thick layer of skin is 1.05 x 104 W/m2. The temperature at the inside surface is 37°C and the tempe

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) Thermal conductivity of skin: $k_{skin}=1.5W/mK$

b) Temperature of interface: $T_{interface}=35.6\°C$

Heat flux through skin: $\frac{Q}{A}=2100W/m^2$

Explanation:

a)

$k=\frac{QL}{A(T_{2}-T_{1})}$

Where: $k$ is thermal conductivity of a material, $\frac{Q}{A}$ is heat flux through a material, $L$ is the thickness of the material, $T_{1}$ is the temperature on the first side and $T_{2}$ is the temperature on the second side

$k_{skin}=\frac{QL}{A(T_{2}-T_{1})}$

$k_{skin}=\frac{Q}{A}*\frac{L}{(T_{2}-T_{1})}$

$k_{skin}=1.05*10^{4}*\frac{1*10^{-3}}{(37-30)}$

$k_{skin}=1.5W/mK$

b)

$k_{insulation}=\frac{k_{skin}}{2}$

$k_{insulation}=\frac{1.5}{2}$

$k_{insulation}=0.75W/mK$

The heat flux between both surfaces is constant, assuming the temperature is maintained at each surface.

$\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{k(T_{2}-T_{1})}{L}$

$\frac{k_{skin}(T_{skin}-T_{interface})}{L_{skin}}=\frac{k_{insulation}(T_{interface}-T_{insulation})}{L_{insulation}}$

$\frac{1.5*(37-T_{interface})}{0.001}=\frac{0.75*(T_{interface}-30)}{0.002}$

$55500-1500T_{interface}=375T_{interface}-11250$

$1875T_{interface}=66750$

$T_{interface}=35.6\°C$

$\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{k_{skin}(T_{skin}-T_{interface})}{L_{skin}}$

$\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.5*(37-35.6)}{0.001}$

$\frac{Q}{A}=2100W/m^2$

What is the major drawback to use whiskers as a dispersed agents in composites? a)- High price b)- Large length to diameter rati

artcher [175]

Answer: C) a&c

Explanation: Composite materials are the materials which are made up of the two or more material of different properties.They are usually having properties like high hardness,low in density,no dissolving into each other etc. Whiskers as a dispersing agent in composite materials are usually not preferred because they are expensive as well as they are not easy to disperse in the composite material.Thus option (c) is the correct answer.
