The 2.44-m high exterior wall of a backwoods shack is constructed of 16-mm-thick cedar boards that form the outside surface of the shack's wall, 38-mm by 90-mm pine studs on 406-mm centers with glass-fiber insulation batts between the studs, and a 10- mm-thick inside wall made of plywood. The exterior wall construction includes a sole plate that uses 38×90 pine studs, and a top plate that uses two 38×90 pine studs. The outer surface of the exterior wall is exposed to air having a convection coefficient of hout= 35 W/m².K, and the inner surface of the wall is exposed to air having a convection coefficient of h = 8 W/m².K. Assume kedar = 0.11 W/m-K for cedar boards, = 0.14 W/m K for pine, kalts = 0.038 W/m K for glass-fiber insulation batts, and k pine

Question 1 The exterior wall of a building consists of 100 mm thick face brick (k = 0.9 W/m-K), 40 mm thick polystyrene insulating board (k = 0.036 W/m-K), 125 mm thick concrete block (k = 1.8 W/m-K) and 15 %3D mm thick interior gypsum board (k = 0.18 W/m-K). The inside and outside convective heat transfer coefficients are 6.5 W/m2-K and 22.5 W/m2-K, respectively. The outside air temperature is -5°C and the inside air temperature is 20°C.

A steel cable is used to keep a 2.0 m long 10-kg bar horizontal. One end of the bar is attached to a hinged mount attached to a wall. The other end is connected to a cable that makes a 30° angle with the bar and attaches to the wall at a point directly above the hinged mount. A 20-kg, 60 cm long sign is then hung from the end of the bar, attached at points 5.0 cm in on each end of the sign, with one of the cables aligned with the end of the bar. What is the tension in the cable?
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco has a main span of length 1.28 km, one of the longest in the world. Imagine that a steel wire with this length and a cross-sectional area of 4.10 x 106 m2 is laid in a straight line on the bridge deck with its ends attached to the towers of the bridge. On a summer day the temperature of the wire is 22.0°C. (a) When winter arrives, the towers stay the same distance apart and the bridge deck keeps the same shape as its expansion joints open. When the temperature drops to -10°C, what is the tension in the wire? (Take Young's modulus for steel to be 2.00 x 1011 N/m2, and the average linear expansion coefficient for steel to be 1.1 x 10-Soc-1.) (b) Permanent deformation occurs if the stress in the steel exceeds its elastic limit of 3.00 x 10° N/m2. At what temperature would the wire reach its elastic limit? (c) Explain how your answers to parts (a) and (b) would change if the Golden Gate Bridge were twice as long.

Problem 1 A hot water pipe is used for domestic applications is insulated with a layer of calcium silicate. If the insulation is 25 mm thick and its inner and outer surfaces are maintained at Ts,1 = 800 K and Ts,2 = 400 K, respectively. The outside diameter is 0.12 m. Given the thermal conductivity calcium silicate insulation equals to 0.09 W/m.K. A. Define the difference between lagged and unlagged pipes. B. Calculate the heat loss per unit length for this pipe.
Compute the heat transfer through the composite wall as shown in the Figure below. Consider materials of your choice from table below. Use both methods, thermal conductivity & thermal resistivity.
