To determine

Find the R-value for 4in thick brick.

Answer to Problem 9P

The R-value for 4in thick brick is 0.10m2KW.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

The thickness of the brick, L=4in.

From table 11.3 in the textbook, the thermal conductivity of the brick, k=1.0Wmk.

Formula used:

The formula to find R-value is,

R=Lk (1)

Here,

L is the thickness of the material, and

k is the thermal conductivity of the material.

Calculation:

Substitute 4in for L, and 1.0Wmk for k in equation (1) to find R,

R=4in1.0Wmk[1in=0.0254m]=(4in)(0.0254m1in)1.0Wmk=(4×0.0254)m1.0WmkR=0.10m2KW

Therefore, R-value for 4in thick brick is 0.10m2KW.

Conclusion:

Hence, the R-value for 4in thick brick is 0.10m2KW.

Find the R-value for 10cm thick brick.

Answer to Problem 9P

The R-value for 10cm thick brick is 0.10m2KW.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

The thickness of the brick, L=10cm.

Calculation:

Substitute 10cm for L, and 1.0Wmk for k in equation (1) to find R,

R=10cm1.0Wmk[1m=100cm]=(10cm)(1m100cm)1.0Wmk=0.1m1.0WmkR=0.10m2KW

Therefore, R-value for 10cm thick brick is 0.10m2KW.

Conclusion:

Hence, the R-value for 10cm thick brick is 0.10m2KW.

Find the R-value for 12in thick concrete slab.

Answer to Problem 9P

The R-value for 12in thick concrete slab is 0.22m2KW.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

The thickness of the concrete slab, L=12in.

From Table 11.3 in the textbook, the thermal conductivity of the concrete slab, k=1.4Wmk.

Calculation:

Substitute 12in for L, and 1.4Wmk for k in equation (1) to find R,

R=12in1.4Wmk[1in=0.0254m]=(12in)(0.0254m1in)1.4Wmk=(12×0.0254)m1.4WmkR=0.22m2KW

Therefore, R-value for 12in thick concrete slab is 0.22m2KW.

Conclusion:

Hence, the R-value for 12in thick concrete slab is 0.22m2KW.

Find the R-value for 20cm thick concrete slab.

Answer to Problem 9P

The R-value for 20cm thick concrete slab is 0.14m2KW.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

The thickness of the concrete slab, L=20cm.

Calculation:

Substitute 20cm for L, and 1.4Wmk for k in equation (1) to find R,

R=20cm1.4Wmk[1m=100cm]=20cm×1m100cm1.4Wmk=0.2m1.4WmkR=0.14m2KW

Therefore, R-value for 20cm thick concrete slab is 0.14m2KW.

Conclusion:

Hence, the R-value for 20cm thick concrete slab is 0.14m2KW.

Find the R-value for 1cm thick human fat layer.

Answer to Problem 9P

The R-value for 1cm thick human fat layer is 0.05m2KW.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

The thickness of the human fat layer, L=1cm.

From table 11.3 in the textbook, the thermal conductivity of the human fat layer, k=0.2Wmk.

Calculation:

Substitute 1cm for L, and 0.2Wmk for k in equation (1) to find R,

R=1cm0.2Wmk[1m=100cm]=(1cm)(1m100cm)0.2Wmk=0.01m0.2WmkR=0.05m2KW

Therefore, R-value for 1cm thick human fat layer is 0.05m2KW.

Conclusion:

Hence, the R-value for 1cm thick human fat layer is 0.05m2KW.

1. The beam is supported by a roller constraint at B, which allows vertical displacement but resists axial load and moment. If the bar is subjected to the loading shown and constant El (L = 12 ft, E = 3100 ksi, I = 1728 in (rectangular section 12"x12"), w = 1 klf).

First, solve this problem parametrically, and then substitute the numerical values for L, E, I, w at the end. There will be a significant penalty for solutions that do not calculate the slope and deflection as parametric functions. c. Specify the slope (in radians) at point A (parametrically and numerically). d. Specify the vertical displacement at point B (parametrically and numerically).
