Chapter 2, Problem 2.1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The term "composition of material" is to be defined.

Concept introduction:

A material is an object which is composed of mixture of substances or of a chemical substance. These can be pure or impure, living or non-living and can be classified according to the physical and chemical properties, their geological origin or functions they perform biologically.

Explanation of Solution

The relative amount of all the elemental species present in a material is known as the composition of a material. Chemical formula such as, empirical or molecular formula can be used to express it.

For example, water is a material composed of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) with the formula H2O. This implies that a molecule of water contains 1 atom of oxygen and 2 atoms of hydrogen which is the chemical composition of water.

A short brass cyclinder (denisty=8530 kg/m^3, cp=0.389 kJ/kgK, k=110 W/mK, and alpha=3.39*10^-5 m^2/s) of diameter 4 cm and height 20 cm is initially at uniform temperature of 150 degrees C. The cylinder is now placed in atmospheric air at 20 degrees C, where heat transfer takes place by convection with a heat transfer coefficent of 40 W/m^2K. Calculate (a) the center temp of the cylinder, (b) the center temp of the top surface of the cylinder, and (c) the total heat transfer from the cylinder 15 min after the start of the cooling. Solve this problem using the analytical one term approximation method. (Answer: (a) 45.7C, (b)45.3C, (c)87.2 kJ)
