Insulation
You have a 1-D steady-state conduction problem, constant thermal properties, with energy generation q_dot. The material is 4.0 cm thick and has a constant thermal conductivity of k = 65.0 (W/m-k). The temperature distribution within the object is:
T(x) = a + bx^2
a = 100 Celcius
b = -1000 Celcius/m^2
Starting with the Heat Diffusion Equation and using the data given above, determine the following:
• Determine the heat generation rate q_dot within the wall.
• Determine the heat flux q" at x=0 and at x=L.
Hab. Tiruneh, [4/2/2023 1:23 AM]A solar flux q ^ * falls on a unit length of a very thin tube of diameter d. Inside the tube is a stationary water with initial temperature T_{i} (same as ambient and no gradient inside at any time) and absorbs some of the heat while the rest leaves by convection from the surface to the ambient at T_{m} Develop an equation that can help to determine the temperature of the water at any time. Plot the temperature of the water against time. For a long elapsed time what will be the temperature? To simplify the analysis use theta = T*T_{e} * d*theta = dT theta_{i} = T_{i}*T_{o} (initial condition.
Hab. Tiruneh, [4/2/2023 11:53 AM]A flat wall is exposed to an environmental temperature of 38°C. The wall is covered with a layer of insulation 2.5 cm thick whose thermal conductivity is 1.4W / (m ^2 *` C and the temperature of the wall on the inside of the insulation is 315°C. The wall loses heat to the environment by convection. Compute the value of the convection…

- The center of mass for a human body can be determined by a segmental method. Using cadavers, it is possible to determine the mass of individual body segments (as a proportion of total body mass) and the center of mass for each segment (often expressed as a distance from one end of the segment). Finding the overall body center of mass can be a complex calculation, involving more than 10 body segments. Below, we will look at a simplified model that uses just six segments: head, trunk, two arms, and two legs. Search y X As a percentage of total body mass, the head is 10%, the two arms are 10%, the trunk is 56%, and the two legs are 24%. The center of mass for each segment is given as an (x,y) coordinate, both units in cm: head = (0, 165), arms = (0, 115), trunk = (0, 95), and legs = (0, 35).
