Four power transistors, each dissipating 12 W, are mounted on a thin vertical aluminum plate 22 cm 3 22 cm in size. The heat generated by the transistors is to be dissipated by both surfaces of the plate to the surrounding air at 25°C, which is blown over the plate by a fan. The entire plate can be assumed to be nearly isothermal, and the exposed surface area of the transistor can be taken to be equal to its base area. If the average convection heat transfer coefficient is 25 W/m2·K, determine the temperature of the aluminum plate. Disregard any radiation effects.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

The temperature of the Aluminium plate 44.84⁰C

Explanation:

Number of transistors = 4

Since the heat dissipated by each transistor is 12W

Total heat dissipated, Q = 4 * 12 = 48 W

Q = 48 W

Cross sectional Area of the Aluminium plate, A = 2(l * b)

l = Length of the aluminium plate = 22 cm = 0.22 m

b = width of the aluminium plate = 22 cm = 0.22 m

A =2( 0.22 * 0.22 )

A = 0.0968 m²

From the heat balance equation, Q = hAΔT

h = 25 W/m²·K

A = 0.0968 m²

ΔT = T - T(air)

T(air) = 25°C

ΔT = T - 25°C

Q = 25 * 0.0968 * ( T - 25)

Q = 2.42 (T - 25)

Substitute Q = 48 into the equation above

48 = 2.42 (T - 25)

T - 25 = 19.84

T = 25 + 19.84

T = 44.84 ⁰C

Your car is traveling at 70/mi/h (1000ft/s) your sneeze and your eyes close for 0.33 seconds how far did you travel during your sneeze?

Answers

If you're moving at 70 mi/hr, then you cover 33.88 feet in 0.33 sec. If you're moving at 1,000 ft/sec, then you cover 33 feet in 0.33 sec. 70 mph and 1,000 fps are not equivalent. 1,000 fps is about 682 mph, whereas 70 mph is about 103 fps.
