Answer:

d. 2.3 ohms (5.3 amperes)

Explanation:

The calculator's 1/x key makes it convenient to calculate parallel resistance.

Req = 1/(1/4 +1/8 +1/16) = 1/(7/16) = 16/7 ≈ 2.3 ohms

This corresponds to answer choice D.

<em>Additional comment</em>

This problem statement does not tell the applied voltage. The answer choices suggest that it is 12 V. If so, the current is 12/(16/7) = 21/4 = 5.25 amperes.

Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially t

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

$\frac{T-20}{130-20}= e^{-14.28*0.05}$

And if we solve for T we got:

$T= 20 + 110e^{-14.28*0.05} = 73.86 C$

The answer for this case would be $T = 73.86 C$ at 5cm from the base of the fin.

Explanation:

Data given

For this case we have the following data given:

$h = 20 \frac{W}{m^2 K}$ represent the heat transfer coefficient.

$p$ represent the perimeter for this case and would be given by:

$p = 2*0.05m +2*0.001m= 0.102m$

$k = 200 \frac{W}{m C}$ represent the thermal conductivity

$w = 5cm =0.05 m$ represent the width

$h = 1mm =0.001m$ represent the thickness

$A= wh= 0.05m *0.001m = 0.00005 m^2$

Solution to the problem

For this case we assume that we have steady conditions, the temperature of the fins varies just in one direction, the heat transfer coefficient not changes with the time and the thermal properties of the fin not change.

We can determine the temperature if the fin at x=5 cm=0.05 m from the base with the following formula:

$\frac{T-T_{\infty}}{T_b -T_{\infty}} = e^{-mx}$
