A 260 ft (79.25m) length of size 4 AWG uncoated copper wire operating at a temperature of 75°c has a resistance of 0.0792 ohm.
Explanation:
From the given data the area of size 4 AWG of the code is 21.2 mm², then K is the Resistivity of the material at 75°c is taken as ( 0.0214 ohm mm²/m ).
To find the resistance of 260 ft (79.25 m) of size 4 AWG,
R= K * L/ A
K = 0.0214 ohm mm²/m
L = 79.25 m
A = 21.2 mm²
R = 0.0214 *
= 0.0214 * 3.738
= 0.0792 ohm.
Thus the resistance of uncoated copper wire is 0.0792 ohm
Answer:
Explanation:
Diffusion flux of a gas, J is given by
where
is permeability coefficient,
P is pressure difference and x is thickness of membrane.
The pressure difference will be 10,000 Pa- 3000 Pa= 7000 Pa
At 298 K, the permeability coefficient of water vapour through polypropylene sheet is
Since the thickness of sheet is given as 1mm= 0.1 cm then
Therefore, the diffusion flux is
