A client wants Mila’s team to maximize the energy efficiency of their new office building. The client is interested in acquiring

a large plot of land for the new building in a suburban area north of a major city. From the city, the main access to this area is by a couple of major roads that have heavy traffic at almost all times of day. The client’s current building is easier to access and large enough for projected staffing needs, but it is also old, ugly, and high in maintenance costs. How should Mila’s team best approach this project while adhering to principles of green building?
Agree to build on the land the client is interested in acquiring and concentrate on maximizing the efficiency advantages of the new building.

Persuade the client to tear down the existing building instead and build a new high-efficiency building from the ground up in the same spot.

Persuade the client to renovate their existing building both aesthetically and in terms of efficiency and utility of function.

Find a different location for the new building in a more advantageous spot both in terms of transportation access but also in taking advantage of daylighting.

Answer:

Persuade the client to renovate their existing building both aesthetically and in terms of efficiency and utility of function.

Explanation:

Just would not make sense to tear the building down just to rebuild it when it can be restored.

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 h duration will raise the carbon concentration
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

135 hour

Explanation:

It is given that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 hour will raise the carbon concentration by 0.35 wt% at a point of 2 mm from the surface.

We have to find the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 6 mm position.

we know that \frac{x_1^2}{Dt}=constant where x is distance and t is time .As the temperature is constant so D will be also constant

So \frac{x_1^2}{t}=constant

then \frac{x_1^2}{t_1}=\frac{x_2^2}{t_2} we have given x_1=2 mm\ ,t_1=15 hour\ ,x_2=6\ mm and we have to find t_2 putting all these value in equation

\frac{2^2}{15}=\frac{6^2}{t_2}

so t_2=135\ hour

. Air at 200 C blows over a 50 cm x 75 cm plain carbon steel (AISI 1010) hot plate with a constant surface temperature of 2500 C
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The inside temperature, T_{in} is approximately 248 °C.

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Temperature of the air = 20°C

Carbon steel surface temperature 250°C

Area of surface = 50 cm × 75 cm = 0.5 × 0.75 = 0.375 m²

Convection heat transfer coefficient = 25 W/(m²·K)

Heat lost by radiation = 300 W

Assumption,

Air temperature = 20 °C

Hot plate temperature = 250 °C

Thermal conductivity K = 65.2 W/(m·K)

Steady state heat transfer process

One dimensional heat conduction

We have;

Newton's law of cooling;

q = h×A×(T_s - T_{\infty) + Heat loss by radiation

= 25×0.325×(250 - 20) + 300

= 2456.25 W

The rate of energy transfer per second is given by the following relation;

P = \dfrac{K \times A \times \Delta T}{L}

Thermal conductivity K = 65.2 W/(m·K)

Therefore;

2456.25  = \dfrac{65.2 \times 0.375 \times (250 - T_{in})}{0.02}

T_{in} = 250 - \dfrac{2456.25  \times 0.02}{65.2 \times 0.375} = 247.99 ^{\circ}C

The inside temperature, T_{in} = 247.99 °C  ≈ 248 °C.

A gas tank is known to have a thickness of 0.5 inches and an internal pressure of 2.2 ksi. Assuming that the maximum allowable s
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

D_o=11.9inch

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Thickness T=0.5

Internal PressureP=2.2Ksi

Shear stress \sigma=12ksi

Elastic modulus \gamma= 35000

Generally the equation for shear stress is mathematically given by

 \sigma=\frac{P*r_1}{2*t}

Where

r_i=internal Radius

Therefore

 12=\frac{2.2*r_1}{2*0.5}

 r_i=5.45

Generally

 r_o=r_1+t

 r_o=5.45+0.5

 r_o=5.95

Generally the equation for outer diameter is mathematically given by

 D_o=2r_o

 D_o=11.9inch

Therefore

Assuming that the thin cylinder is subjected to integral Pressure

Outer Diameter is

 D_o=11.9inch
