Satellites A and B are traveling in the same plane in circular orbits around the earth at altitudes of 120 and 200 mi, respectively. If at t = 0 the satellites are aligned as shown and knowing that the radius of the earth is R = 3960 mi, determine when the satellites will next be radially aligned. (See the information given in Probs. 11.153 and 11.154.)
Fig. P11.160
11.153 and 11.154 A satellite will travel indefinitely in a circular orbit around a planet if the normal component of the acceleration of the satellite is equal to g(R/r)2, where g is the acceleration of gravity at the surface of the planet, R is the radius of the planet, and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the satellite. Knowing that the diameter of the sun is 1.39 Gm and that the acceleration of gravity at its surface is 274 m/s2, determine the radius of the orbit of the indicated planet around the sun assuming that the orbit is circular.
11.153 Earth: (vmean)orbit = 107 Mm/h.
11.154 Saturn: (vmean)orbit = 34.7 Mm/h.

- 2.4 To determine the effect of the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity on the temperature dis- tribution in a solid, consider a material for which this dependence may be represented as k = k₁ + aT where k, is a positive constant and a is a coefficient that may be positive or negative. Sketch the steady-state temperature distribution associated with heat transfer in a plane wall for three cases corresponding to a > 0, a = 0, and a < 0.arrow_forward1.21 A one-dimensional plane wall is exposed to convective and radiative conditions at x = 0. The ambient and sur- rounding temperatures are T = 20°C and Tur = 40°C, respectively. The convection heat transfer coefficient is h=20 W/m² K, and the absorptivity of the exposed sur- face is α=0.78. Determine the convective and radiative heat fluxes to the wall at x = 0 if the wall surface tem- perature is T, = 24°C. Assume the exposed wall surface is gray, and the surroundings are large.arrow_forward1.12 You've experienced convection cooling if you've ever extended your hand out the window of a moving vehi- cle or into a flowing water stream. With the surface of your hand at a temperature of 30°C, determine the con- vection heat flux for (a) a vehicle speed of 40 km/h in air at -8°C with a convection coefficient of 40 W/m² K and (b) a velocity of 0.2 m/s in a water stream at 10°C with a convection coefficient of 900 W/m²K. Which condition would feel colder? Contrast these results with a heat flux of approximately 30 W/m² under normal room conditions.arrow_forward
