A person puts a few apples into the freezer at -15oC to cool them quickly for guests who are about to arrive. Initially, the app
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Temperature at center of apples = 11.2⁰C

Temperature at surface of apples = 2.7⁰C

Amount of Heat transferred = 17.2kJ

Explanation:

The properties of apple are given as:

k = 0.418 W/m.°C

ρ = 840 kg/m³

Cр = 3.81 kJ/kg.°C

α = 1.3*10 ⁻⁷ m²/s

h = 8 W/m².°C

d = 0.09m

r = 0.045m

t = 1 hour = 3600s

<h2>Solution</h2>

Biot number is given as:

Bi = \frac{hr}{k}= \frac{8\cdot0.045}{0.418}=0.861

The constants λ₁ and A₁ corresponding to Biot number (from the table) are:

λ₁ = 1.476

A₁ = 1.239

Fourier Number is:

T = \frac{a\cdot{t}}{r^2} = \frac{(1.3\cdot10^{-7})(3600)}{0.045^2}= 0.231> 0.2

As Fourier Number > 0.2 , one term approximates solutions are applicable

The temperature at the center of apples, The temperature at surface of apples and Amount of heat transfer is found in the ATTACHMENT.

The emissivity of galvanized steel sheet, a common roofing material, is ε = 0.13 at temperatures around 300 K, while its absorpt
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

759.99W/m²

Explanation:

Question: If the temperature of the sheet is 77C,what is the incident solar radiation on aday with Tinf= Tsurr= 16°C?

Given

Energy Equation of the Gas

αs * Gs * A + h * A * (T inf - Tg) + εσA (Tsurr⁴- Tg⁴) = 0

Where σ= 5.67 *10^-8 W/m²K⁴ (Stefan-Boltzmann constant)

ε = 0.13 (Emisivity)

αs = 0.65 (Absorptivity for solar radiation)

h = 7W/m²K⁴

Tg = 77 + 273.15K = 350.15K

T inf = 16 + 273.15 = 288.15K

T surr= T inf = 288.15

Substitute the above values in the Gas Equation, we have

0.65 * Gs * A + 7 * A * (288.15 - 350.15) + 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * A * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴) = 0

0.65 * Gs * A = - 7 * A * (288.15 - 350.15) - 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * A * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴)

A cancels out, so we are left with

0.65 * Gs = - 7 * (288.15 - 350.15) - 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴)

0.65Gs = 434 - 0.7372 * 10^-8(−8,137,940,481.697)

0.65Gs = 434 + 0.7372 * 81.37940481697

0.65Gs = 493.992897231070284

Gs = 493.992897231070284/0.65

Gs = 759.9890726631850

Gs = 759.99W/m² ------- Approximated

A cylindrical drum (2 ft. dia ,3 ft height) is filled with a fluid whose density is 40 lb/ft^3. Determine (a. the total volume o
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

a)V=9.42\ ft^3

b)Mass in lb = 376.8 lb

Mass in slug = 11.71 slug

c)v=0.025\ ft^3/lb

d)w=1276 \ lb/ft.s^2

Explanation:

Given that

d= 2 ft

r= 1 ft

h= 3 ft

Density

\rho = 40\ lb/ft^3

a)

We know that volume V given as

V=\pi r^2 h

V=\pi \times 1^2\times 3

V=9.42\ ft^3

b)

Mass = Density x volume

mass =40\times 9.42\ lb

mass= 376.8 lb

We know that

1 lb = 0.031 slug

So 376.8 lb= 11.71 slug

Mass in lb = 376.8 lb

Mass in slug = 11.71 slug

c)

we know that specific volume(v) is the inverse of density.

v=\dfrac{1}{\rho}\ ft^3/lb

v=\dfrac{1}{40}\ ft^3/lb

v=0.025\ ft^3/lb

d)

Specific weight(w) is the product of density and the gravity(g).

w= ρ X g

w = 40 x 31.9

w=1276 \ lb/ft.s^2
