Temperature measurements are based on the transfer of heat between the sensor of a measuring device (such as an ordinary thermometer or the gasket of a thermocouple) and the medium whose temperature is to be measured. Once the sensor or thermometer is brought into contact with the medium, the sensor quickly receives (or loses, if warmer) heat and reaches thermal equilibrium with the medium. At that point the medium and the sensor are at the same temperature. The time required for thermal equilibrium to be established can vary from a fraction of a second to several minutes. Due to its small size and high conductivity it can be assumed that the sensor is at a uniform temperature at all times, and Newton's cooling law is applicable. Thermocouples are commonly used to measure the temperature of gas streams. The characteristics of the thermocouple junction and the gas stream are such that λ = hA/mc 0.02s-1. Initially, the thermocouple junction is at a temperature Ti and the gas stream at…

- A body of mass m at the top of a 100 m high tower is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. Assume that the air resistance FD acting on the body is proportional to the velocity V, so that FD=kV. Taking g = 9.75 m/s2 and k/m = 5 s, determine: a) what height the body will reach at the top of the tower, b) how long it will take the body to touch the ground, and c) the velocity of the body when it touches the ground.arrow_forwardA chemical reaction involving the interaction of two substances A and B to form a new compound X is called a second order reaction. In such cases it is observed that the rate of reaction (or the rate at which the new compound is formed) is proportional to the product of the remaining amounts of the two original substances. If a molecule of A and a molecule of B combine to form a molecule of X (i.e., the reaction equation is A + B ⮕ X), then the differential equation describing this specific reaction can be expressed as: dx/dt = k(a-x)(b-x) where k is a positive constant, a and b are the initial concentrations of the reactants A and B, respectively, and x(t) is the concentration of the new compound at any time t. Assuming that no amount of compound X is present at the start, obtain a relationship for x(t). What happens when t ⮕∞?arrow_forwardConsider a body of mass m dropped from rest at t = 0. The body falls under the influence of gravity, and the air resistance FD opposing the motion is assumed to be proportional to the square of the velocity, so that FD = kV2.

Obtain relationships for the velocity and position of the body as a function of time t.arrow_forward
- Assuming that the rate of change of the price P of a certain commodity is proportional to the difference between demand D and supply S at any time t, the differential equations describing the price fluctuations with respect to time can be expressed as: dP/dt = k(D - s) where k is the proportionality constant whose value depends on the specific commodity.
