Chapter 4, Problem 4.83P

To determine which parts of a spider’s brain are triggered into neural activity in response to various optical stimuli, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst desire to examine the brain as it is shown images that might evoke emotions such as fear or hunger. Consider a spider at T i = 20 ° C that is shown a frightful scene and is then immediately immersed in liquid nitrogen at T = 77 K . The brain is subsequently dissected in its frozen state and analyzed to determine which parts of the brain reacted to the stimulus. Using your knowledge of heat transfer, determine how much time elapses before the spider’s brain begins to freeze. Assume the brain is a sphere of diameter D b = 1 m m , centrally located in the spider’s cephalothorax, which may be approximated as a spherical shell of diameter D c = 3 m m . The brain and cephalothorax properties correspond to those of liquid water. Neglect the effects of the latent heat of fusion and assume the heat transfer coefficient is h = 100 W / m 2 K .

Q Derive (continuity equation)? I want to derive clear mathematics.
motor supplies 200 kW at 6 Hz to flange A of the shaft shown in Figure. Gear B transfers 125 W of power to operating machinery in the factory, and the remaining power in the shaft is mansferred by gear D. Shafts (1) and (2) are solid aluminum (G = 28 GPa) shafts that have the same diameter and an allowable shear stress of t= 40 MPa. Shaft (3) is a solid steel (G = 80 GPa) shaft with an allowable shear stress of t = 55 MPa. Determine: a) the minimum permissible diameter for aluminum shafts (1) and (2) b) the minimum permissible diameter for steel shaft (3). c) the rotation angle of gear D with respect to flange A if the shafts have the minimum permissible diameters as determined in (a) and (b).
