Copper-coated, epoxy-filled fiberglass circuit boards are treated by heating a stack of them under high pressure, as shown in the sketch. The purpose of the pressing—heating operation is to cure the epoxy that bonds the fiberglass sheets, imparting stiffness to the boards. The stack, referred to as a book, is comprised of 10 boards and 11 pressing plates, which prevent epoxy from flowing between the boards and impart a smooth finish to the cured boards. In order to perform simplified thermal analyses, it is reasonable to approximate the book as having an effective thermal conductivity (k) and an effective thermal capacitance

- "You did calculations using the simplified HAZ time-temperature formulas, assuming 3D heat flow, and are presenting your final internship conclusions to management. You realize with horror, in the middle of your presentation, that you forgot to label your calculated curves (below). Which curve is which? Pick the best answer A: "Plot 1 is HYPERFILL® and Plot 2 is p-GMAW. Since HYPERFILL® has the higher heat input, it cools more slowly." B: "Plot 2 is HYPERFILL® and Plot 1 is p-GMAW. Since HYPERFILL® has the faster travel speed of the two processes, it cools faster." C: "Plot 1 is p-GMAW and Plot 2 is HYPERFILL®. Since p-GMAW has the slower travel speed, it cools more slowly." D: "Plot 2 is p-GMAW and Plot 1 is HYPERFILL®. Since p-GMAW has the lower heat input, it cools faster" Both (A) and (D)arrow_forwardTwo inches of urethane foam will reduce heat loss close to 1000% when applied to a 2-inch diameter uninsulated steel pipe. Assume the pipe wall thickness is 0.25-inches, the pipe interior convective heat loss (hi) is 500 BTU/hr-ft2-oF, and the pipe outside convective heat loss ho 20 BTU/hr-ft2-oF, k steel is 25 BTU/hr-ft-oF, and k insulaton is 0.023 BTU/hr-ft-oF. (hint - calculate heat loss with and without insulation.arrow_forwardPLEASE ANSWER WITH COMPLETE AND DETAILED SOLUTION. THANK YOUarrow_forward

To illustrate the effect of ice on the aluminum cooling plate, consider the drawing shown here and the data contained therein. Ignore any limitations due to significant figures. (a) Calculate the heat per second per square meter that is conducted through the ice-aluminum combination. (b) Calculate the heat per second per square meter that would be conducted through the aluminum if the ice were not present. Notice how much larger the answer is in (b) as compared to (a).

- c) A steel pipe of 100 mm bore, and 10 mm bore thickness, carrying dry saturated steam at 28 bars, is insulated with a 40 mm layer of moulded insulation. This insulation in turn is insulated with a 60 mm layer of felt. The atmospheric temperature is 15 °C. Calculate: (i) the rate of heat loss by the steam per metre pipe length. (ii) the temperature of the outside Dimensions in mm surface.zzzzzzz h₂-15 W/m²K Steel k₁=50 W/mK AVALEHT Ø100 1₂ " Steam 28 bar h-550 W/m²K, Inner heat transfer coefficient = 550 W/m² K Outer heat transfer coefficient = 15 W/m² K Thermal conductivity of steel = 50 W/m K Thermal conductivity of felt = 0.07 W/m K Moulded insulation Felt Moulded insulation K₂=0.09 W/mK Thermal conductivity of moulded insulation = 0.09 W/m 40 10.
