Define an electrolyte and its role in battery operation.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The role of electrolyte in a battery.

Explanation of Solution

A battery is a primary source of electrical power in an auto vehicle. It converts the chemical energy into electrical energy. A battery consists of two electrode or plates of which one is considered as a cathode and other an anode and an electrolyte solution.

An electrolyte is a chemical solution having both the cathode and anode plates submerged into it. The electrolyte in a battery reacts with the metal of the submerged plates. This chemical reaction causes a lack of electrons on a positive plate and an excess on negative. Due to which the electrons moves and the current starts flowing.

A power transistor with three 0.8 mm diameter leads of a copper-silver alloy (k = 400 W/m-K) dissipates 3.5 Watts of power. The printed circuit board (PCB) on which the transistor is mounted is maintained at 30 C. The air temperature is 20 C and the heat transfer coefficient for the leads is 60 W/m² K. The length of the leads from the transistor to printed circuit board is 9.0 mm. (a) Determine the maximum lead temperature neglecting all convection effects. (b) Determine the maximum lead temperature if convection is present. T=20C h = 60 W/m²K Air Power Transistor Lead k = 400 W/m K TPCB = 30 C 9 mm
A window in a tall building experiences a horizontal wind flow parallel to the surface at a velocity of 8 m/s. The window measures 2 m high, 1.5 m wide and 6.5 mm thick. The transition from the building wall to the window glass surface is not smooth. The window casement that surrounds the edge of glass pane is raised 10 mm above the surface of the glass and adjacent wall structure. Inside the building, the air temperature and heat transfer coefficient for the interior surface are 21 °C and 9 W/m² K respectively. The window has a uniform thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m K. If the outdoor air temperature is 5 °C, determine the rate of convective heat loss from the window. Develop a thermal resistance network for the window system. Please state and justify all assumptions. Neglect any conduction through the casement. Assume the following air properties: kair =0.0248 W/m K, v= 14.20 x 106 m²/s, Pr = 0.712. Outside Air u=8m/s T=5°C casement glass Inside 2 m T=21°C h=9W/m² K 6.5 mm 1.5 m…
A thin electrical heater that dissipates 2 kW of thermal energy is position between two plane walls. The thickness of each wall is shown in the figure below. The thermal conductivities of sections A and B are 3 W/m C and 0.8 W/m C respectively. The electrical heater is assumed to be highly conductive (k=200 W/m C). The exterior surface of each wall experiences convective conditions as summarized below. (a) Construct the thermal circuit representing the steady state heat transfer for the system. Label all nodes, resistances and relevant terms. (b) Determine the temperate of the electrical heater.
