The roof of a house has three layers: (1) 2 inch thick pine, (2) 4 inches of fiberglass insulation and (3) 0.1 inch thick Asphalt shingles. Calculate the rate of flow of heat (BTU/hour) through the roof. The temperature inside the house is 700F and the temperature outside is 300F. The R/inch for pine is 1.28, the R/inch for fiberglass is 3.0 and the R/inch for Shingles is 4.0. Take the area of the roof to be 500 square feet. The Unit of R is mixed: ft2 . 0F.h/BTU

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the rate of flow of heat through the roof is 45616.858 BTU/hr

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

pin thickness [tex]t_p[/tex] = 2 in

fiber glass thickness [tex]t_f[/tex] = 4 in

Asphalt shingles thickness [tex]t_a[/tex] = 0.1 in

R/inch for pine = 1.28

R/inch for fiberglass = 3.0

R/inch for Shingles = 4.0

Temperature inside the house [tex]T_{inside[/tex] = 700 F

Temperature outside the house [tex]T_{outside[/tex] = 300 F

area of the roof A = 500 ft²

we calculate the total Resistance;

R = ( 2 × 1.28 ) + ( 4 × 3.0 ) + ( 0.1 × 4.0 )

R = 2.56 + 12 + 0.4

R = 14.96

Now, we determine the rate of heat flow;

dQ/dt = ΔT(A) / R

⇒ ( [tex]T_{inside[/tex] - [tex]T_{outside[/tex] )A / R

we substitute

⇒ (( 700 - 300 ) × 500 ) / 14.96

⇒ ( 400 × 500 ) / 14.96

⇒ 200000 / 14.96

⇒ 13368.98 watt

we know that 1 watt = 3.412142 BTU/hr

⇒ ( 13368.98 × 3.412142 ) BTU/hr

45616.858 BTU/hr

Therefore, the rate of flow of heat through the roof is 45616.858 BTU/hr

Determine the complex power, apparent power, average power absorbed, reactive power, and power factor (including whether it is leading or lagging) for a load circuit whose voltage and current at its input terminals are given by:

Answers

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing detail  

answer :

Complex power = 2.5 ∠ 50°  VA

apparent power = 2.5 VA

average power = 1.6 Watts

reactive power = 1.915 Var

power factor = 0.64 ( leading )

Explanation:

i) complex power

P = Vrms *  Irms

  = 17.67∠40°  * 0.1414∠-10°

  = 2.5∠50° VA

ii) Apparent power

s = Vrms * Irms

  = 17.67 * 0.1414

  = 2.5 VA

iii) Average power absorbed

Absorbed power ( p )  = Vrms * Irms * cos∅

  = 17.67 * 0.1414  * cos ( 50 )

  = 1.6 watt

iv) Reactive power

P =  Vrms * Irms * sin∅

  = 17.67 * 0.1414  * sin ( 50 )

  = 1.915 VAR

v) power factor

P.F = cos ∅ = p /s

                   = 1.6 watt / 2.5 VA  = 0.64.

Problem 1. Network-Flow Programming (25pt) A given merchandise must be transported at a minimum total cost between two origins (supply) and two destinations (demand). Destination 1 and 2 demand 500 and 700 units of merchandise, respectively. At the origins, the available amounts of merchandise are 600 and 800 units. USPS charges $5 per unit from origin 1 to demand 1, and $7 per unit from origin 1 to demand 2. From origin 2 to demand 1 and 2, USPS charges the same unit cost, $10 per unit, however, after 200 units, the unit cost of transportation increases by 50% (only from origin 2 to demand 1 and 2).
a) Formulate this as a network-flow problem in terms of objective function and constraint(s) and solve using Excel Solver.

In a tension test of steel, the ultimate load was 13,100 lb and the elongation was 0.52 in. The original diameter of the specimen was 0.50 in. and the gage length was 2.00 in. Calculate (a) the ultimate tensile stress (b) the ductility of the material in terms of percent elongation

Answers

Answer:

a) the ultimate tensile stress is 66717.8 psi

b) the ductility of the material in terms of percent elongation is 26%

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

ultimate load P = 13,100 lb

elongation δl = 0.52 in

diameter of specimen d = 0.50 in

gage length l = 2.00 inch

First we determine the cross-sectional area of the specimen

A = [tex]\frac{\pi }{4}[/tex] × d²

we substitute

A = [tex]\frac{\pi }{4}[/tex] × ( 0.50 )²

A = 0.1963495 in²

a) the ultimate tensile stress σ[tex]_u[/tex]

tensile stress σ[tex]_u[/tex] = P / A

we substitute

tensile stress σ[tex]_u[/tex] = 13,100 / 0.1963495

tensile stress σ[tex]_u[/tex] = 66717.766 ≈ 66717.8 psi

Therefore, the ultimate tensile stress is 66717.8 psi

b) ductility of the material in terms of percent elongation;

percentage elongation of specimen = [change in length / original length]100

% = [ δl / l ]100

we substitute

% = [ 0.52 in / 2.00 in ]100

= [ 0.26 ]100

= 26

Therefore, the ductility of the material in terms of percent elongation is 26%
